About Me

I am a biologist, born and residing in Ukraine, with considerable experience working in scientific institutions across Europe and Canada. I received my PhD in Molecular Biology in 2004.

Although my PhD thesis was dedicated to the study of repetitive genomic elements, my research interests include entomology (especially social insects, with a focus on ants), general biological evolution, comparative culturology, sociobiology, and biocultural evolution.

This is a story about how I am trying to gain the right to publish the results of my own long-term scientific research. My results… were stolen and published by other people. Influential people. The situation is unpleasant, but in a civilized society, it is not hopeless: the guilty parties are quickly punished and branded as thieves for the rest of their scientific careers, justice prevails, and the result of the work returns to the author. In Ukraine, this does not work at all or works differently. What has happened and is still happening can be read on this website. Today marks the th day since I have been unable to publish the results of my own years-long work. My research : view   here , download here , on Researchgate here The article that plagiarized my research :  view here ; download here ; view on the journal's web-archived site here Start by reading  On Culture and Barbarism (all es...

On Culture and Barbarism

The theft of a Master's Thesis – a new peak in national plagiarism thought.  Students often plagiarize the works of their professors, but could plagiarism work in the opposite direction, with a professor stealing from a student? It turns out that for our plagiarists, nothing is impossible. Let me introduce you to the latest domestic "innovation." The  professors and thieves are Ivan Vasylovych Danyliuk , Dean of the Faculty of Psychology at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Doctor of Psychological Sciences, along with two of his subordinates: Inna Valeriivna Kozytska, Head of the Department of Experimental Psychology, and Serhii Oleksandrovych Shykovets, a postgraduate student:      In October 2017, I defended my master's thesis, titled “The Structure of the Cultural Syndrome ‘Individualism-Collectivism’ in Ukraine,” at the same university.  The chair of the examination committee was Ivan Danyliuk, a well-known Ukrainian ethnopsychologist.

Important Comments on the Article "On Culture and Barbarism"

Image
Many comments from the scientific community have been received following the initial publication of the article "On Culture and Barbarism" on the website https://false-science.ucoz.ua/. Most of them were positive, but some were critical and raised important questions. These questions, arising from a lack of information, have been grouped into two themes, and I will now attempt to address them.    Comment 1 : Why doesn’t the author publish his own scientific article based on the same materials? It’s unclear what more he wants since the university has stated that the article has already been retracted. Response :  The university is engaging in manipulation—acting in collusion with the journal’s editor-in-chief, who happens to be Danyliuk’s close associate. Removing the article from the journal’s table of contents does not mean it has been retracted. It have merely been erased from the contents.   Ultimately, if someone wants to cite the article, they won’t go digg...
