Andriy Slyusarchuk, better known as "Doctor P," is once again in the spotlight. The former fraudster, who for years pretended to be an outstanding neurosurgeon, has returned to the information space thanks to his emotional appeal to Donald Trump, UNN writes.
Details
Previously convicted Slyusarchuk is trying to draw attention to himself again, using the war as a tool. In his emotional post, he addresses Trump and Putin, urging them to see the real price of their policies - the bodies of dead children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
He describes the alleged last words of dead children, parents, and elderly people, depicting the most horrific stories of war. Slyusarchuk also addresses world leaders, accusing them of inaction and comparing them to "hyenas dividing the corpse of Ukraine."
In times of war, such manipulations only increase panic and despair among people.
But it is worth remembering that Slyusarchuk himself is a person with a criminal past, exposed in lies, machinations, and murders. His return to the information space through such posts may not just be an emotional impulse, but also part of a strategy to restore his reputation.
His Facebook post gathered over 6,000 shares in just one day, and among those who reposted it were even a minister and four people's deputies. However, after the publicity, the politicians deleted their reposts.
Journalist Denys Kazansky criticized the mass dissemination of Slyusarchuk's post, emphasizing that people do not check information.
This is a convicted fraudster who served time in prison and who is not who he claims to be. This information is very easy to Google, but why check anything? People see an emotional post and share it without thinking. The fraudster is satisfied. He doesn't even have to change his name. It's enough to write a touching post, mention Trump on the hype, and he already has a lot of new audience, new fans who don't know how to use search engines. Classic technology
Kazansky notes that comments are already appearing that it doesn't matter if a certain person is a fraudster, as they highlight important topics. He explains that this is a classic discrediting technology. If the appeal to Trump really reaches someone from his team, the reaction will be immediate: this person will be called a criminal, and their words will be unreliable, because "everyone there is like that."
The journalist emphasizes that all messages spread by Slyusarchuk automatically lose credibility due to his reputation. They become tainted by his name, and perhaps this is exactly what the initiator of the campaign is trying to achieve. In his opinion, it is successful, as citizens who do not use Google to check information sincerely join it.
Volunteer Lesya Lytvynova also reacted to the mass dissemination of the well-known fraudster's post.
Is your memory short? Then go ask Google who you're reposting. Doctor P. A kind of Arestovych, parasitizing on the topic of medicine. No questions asked - talented. As always with any swindler. Because touching you on the most painful with the clearest words is the main trick to hook you. And - boom. You're already spreading text about "his morgue" and children's brains with fragments with the signature "professor of neurosurgery." In "his" morgue - exclusively trusting idiots whom he "treated." And do you know why they believed him? Because he was incredibly popular. Promoted and spread among the masses no worse than Kashpirovsky and Chumak. A local miracle
Bohdana Murashova, a doctor at the Kyiv City Clinical Endocrinology Center, wrote on social media that perfectly sane people reposted this emotionally written lie.
In the morning, in the news feed, (a well-forgotten old) swindler Slyusarchuk - the infamous Doctor P. Perfectly sane people reposted this emotionally written lie... Such is the power of a well-written text. And this is very sad, because you can put anything into these people's minds...
Vasyl Chornyi, a lecturer at Ivan Franko Lviv National University, noted that many people have learned to use gadgets, but have not learned to use their brains.
Who is Andriy Slyusarchuk
Slyusarchuk gained popularity in the 2000s thanks to TV broadcasts where he demonstrated allegedly phenomenal abilities – from memorizing millions of digits after the decimal point in Pi to complex neurosurgical operations. He claimed to possess unique knowledge about the brain and even allegedly won a chess game against a computer.
Former President Viktor Yushchenko even personally met with Slyusarchuk in 2009 and discussed with him the opening of the Brain Institute. The organization was supposed to look for ways to treat oncology. And in 2011, Viktor Yanukovych awarded the fraudster the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of education. Its size was 150 thousand hryvnias.
But in 2009, journalists of the "Express" newspaper published an investigation which stated that the man was born in Zhytomyr, although he himself said that he was born in Vinnytsia. His mother abandoned him, so the child was sent to a boarding school, and he studied to be a plasterer-tiler. But Slyusarchuk said something completely different. He allegedly entered the Moscow Medical Institute, and after graduation moved to the Lviv region. There he worked in a district hospital and engaged in hypnosis sessions. Later, according to Slyusarchuk, he studied at St. Petersburg University and was able to complete his studies in just one year. In addition, he claimed to have defended his dissertation in Moscow and received the title of professor. After that, he returned to Lviv, where he worked as a lecturer at the Polytechnic University.
It later turned out that Slyusarchuk had no medical education, and all his diplomas were fake. Despite this, thanks to forged documents, he taught at universities and even received the title of professor.
But the worst thing is that he performed operations on people. The investigation established that his activities led to the death of at least five patients in Lviv, Ternopil, and Khmelnytsky regions.
Arrest, trial, and unexpected acquittal
In 2011, Slyusarchuk was detained in Kyiv on suspicion of fraud. In 2014, he was sentenced to 8 years in prison for illegal medical activity, using forged documents, fraud, and two negligent homicides. However, already in 2016, he was released under the so-called "Savchenko Law," which counted one day in a pre-trial detention center as two in prison.
Slyusarchuk did not admit his guilt and sought a review of the case. In 2024, the Shevchenkivskyi Court of Lviv acquitted him.
What he is doing now
After his release, Slyusarchuk continued his "healing" activities, and also lives lavishly in a two-story mansion near Kyiv worth half a million dollars.
It turned out that he works in pharmaceutical and chemical companies, and on social networks he posts photos from operations, poems, and publishes reflections on life.
