Thankfuly I am Polish, which means there is quite a bit of stuff related to it in my native language, we even have a psychotronic society (although nowadays it's just soykaf), The topic is very interesting, and I have been thinking of translating some materials to english. If you have any questions about it, I would be happy to answer according to my ability and knowledge. -

Happy to answer everything!
Yes absolutely, from my experience psychotronics are mostly full of two types of bullshit:
- Mentally ill people clinging to it because of like targeted electronics weapons or whatever bullshit, you know the drill (pretty sad)
- Weird tinfoil hat, alternative medicine kinds, often just a general new-age style mixture of astrology, pseudo "eastern esoterics" and using random language from quantum physics for no apparent reason
There is very little people who treat it seriously, or even treat it as what it actually is.
For example the polish psychotronic society's website is full of GenAI bullshit and just very low quality materials: https://psychotronicy.org
Another site akin being: https://psychotronika.pl/
I don't think you even need to understand the language to see it's pure and utter new-age bullshit. It is mostly used to scam people off from feeling like "they know more".
Obviously actual psychotronics have to do nothing with the above, but it really complicated finding relevant information, and it's pretty frustrating.
As for the second question, in my understanding (which I do not claim to be some authority on the topic), yes. But because it was all developed in a state where anything non-materialist was of suspicion, it is not some sort of inherent spirit or soul (or even if I understand it correctly supernatural ability), the Marxist-Leninst (or at least in theory what was supposed to be Marxism-Leninism) worldview does not allow for such things, the "mental energy" was more or less believed to be a sort of physical, measurable electromagnetic force, and in terms of harnessing that power, Robert Pavlita (whole can of worms on its own), claimed he made devices that could store this physical energy and utilize it. There is a CIA document about this (https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000600350002-2.pdf), that i really recommend reading.
I am also interested in gathering more materials about it, but as I said unfortunately it is hard as psychotronics became a buzzword. As for it being talked about (beyond the modern new-age extent which appropriated the label) or any cold war program existing, that is unlikely, during the transition from socialism to capitalism in central/eastern Europe of late 80s and 90s, a lot of things were destroyed or """Lost""", such topics are also somewhat taboo because of the rampant anti-communist sentiment here (it was basically forced down on us as a deep cultural value at this point), and core ideas behind psychotronics were formed by the ideology and mentality of the time, but that's another topic.
