The organization has more than 2,500 active members, in more than 100 groups in 25 countries, and have organized more than 250 expeditions since 1980. There is an ongoing dispute about the scientific nature of this organization, in particular the claims of time machine development made by its leader Vadim Chernobrov

The first research in paleoufology (extraterrestrial contacts in past of humanity's history) were performed by Alexander Kazantsev in 1945. Its goal was to find proof that Tunguska event

The main objectives of the organization in the 1980s were:
- Collecting information about UFOlogical and anomalous events in the USSRSoviet UnionThe Soviet Union , officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics , was a constitutionally socialist state that existed in Eurasia between 1922 and 1991....
; - Alleged developing of 'temporal' technology ('time car')—"Lovondatr" experimental devices;
- Sending expeditions to the most promising anomalous zones.
1990s
- Main expeditions became annual (all-Russian conference in May, Bear Hills monitoring June–September);
- Philosophy of 'expeditions hitch-hike' was formed and tested in real long range expeditions (Labynkyr lake(Yakutia)—travel along the abandoned part Kolyma federal road, in December);
- Large database of anomalous events in Russia collected.
2000s
- All-Russian organization registered (largest non-commercial public research organization in the world).

, was the reason to organize a series of expeditions. The event was expected to be a meteorite fall. There were two expeditions: in 1997, and in 1998–2003. All-Russian annual conference of Kosmopoisk took place in May also in Korenevo. This conference was not only a search for the impact point, but also a way to involve masses of people (mostly from educational institutions) in public research process.

This body and dwarf's probable origin were a subject of several medical discussions. Russian crime investigator V. Bendlin performed a video record of medical councilium about the origin of dwarf's body.
Later the body was stolen by unknown criminals, and it is still not found as of this moment. In 2002, a multi-profile expedition was performed in Kyshtym. This expedition collected data, gathered evidence from witnesses, found a possible UFO landing/crash place, and explored a deep Sugomak cave

Ufologists believed the Kyshtym dwarf was a true case of the extraterrestrial. The clergy thought the dwarf was a demon.
