It is shown that pulsars that have ceased to generate electron-positron pairs (switched-off radiopulsars) may be the sources of X-ray and γ-ray radiation. The magnetic dipole radiation from these rotating neutron stars is transformed near the “light radius” into hard radiation by the plasma that is created due to ionization of interstellar neutral hydrogen.
