Esoteric interpretation
The brain-drain allegation explains how a vast hidden civilization could acquire skilled workers while remaining outside public awareness. In the narrative, talent and human potential have been diverted away from ordinary society. It connects the promised future abundance to a claim of concealed labor, but the poster’s large recruitment figures are allegations rather than a documented demographic or employment history.

Definition & background
The claim that tens of millions of skilled people were secretly recruited into off-world programs during the 1950s and 1960s.
Evidence & research
The poster specifies 60 million. This is a secret-space recruitment story, distinct from the ordinary migration of skilled workers; the conference notes are a record of proponents’ statements.
Reading the original
Legible standalone label in the high-resolution Russian middle region; compared with the English edition and supplied adaptation. Sources identify the term or claim, not necessarily corroboration.
