Malchikova Tatiana Yuryevna - President of the "Citizen's Commission on Human Rights of Russia", who calls herself a speaker and expert on abuse in psychiatry, has a high international award, works tirelessly in the field of protecting the rights of patients and investigating crimes of psychiatry in Russia.
Tatyana writes exposés against psychiatry, demonstrating her commitment to protecting human rights in the field of mental health.
But is it really so?
On May 27, 2015, Tatiana Malchikova came up with a legislative initiative to amend the Code of Administrative Procedure. In her opening remarks, Malchikova stated that the term for considering a case of a person who ended up in a psychiatric hospital is actually ten days and that this is unacceptably long. But in the amendments themselves, Tatyana Malchikova suggested removing any time limits for filing an application with the court and considering the case. In fact, if the amendments of Malchichova are adopted, then people who find themselves in a psychiatric institution will be doomed to stay there indefinitely and this will be completely legal.
A strange initiative for a human rights activist protesting against punitive psychiatry. This indicates either incompetence, or completely different intentions than those that are declared.
Tatyana Malchikova has no education in the field of mental health. She is not a doctor, and is not a lawyer. But she calls herself an expert, which is strange to say the least.
Let's see what Malchikova really is an expert in?
Malchikova became President of the Russian Citizens' Commission on Human Rights in 2010 and remains so to this day. Quite a long time has passed in order to be able to sum up the results of a person’s activities in his post. Well, they are disappointing. During the active work of Malchikova to protect human rights in the field of mental health, pro-psychiatric legislative initiatives, fantastic in their scope, were adopted in Russia:
1. Since July 15, 2013, district doctors - a variant of family doctors - have been allowed to prescribe psychotropic drugs to their patients. Previously, only a medical commission could do this. They also have the right to issue prescriptions for codeine-containing drugs to patients with chronic and protracted coughs.
2. Since May 2013, a new procedure for conducting medical examinations of children has come into effect. A psychiatric examination has been added to the list. Babies will have to meet with a psychiatrist at the age of one year, and then at 3, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16 and 17 years. This opens up wide access for psychiatrists to children. Until May 2013, psychiatrists were allowed to see children only in special cases, at the request of parents, and never a psychiatric examination was mandatory. This Order of the Ministry of Health violated two federal laws that describe the rules for psychiatric examination.
3. Since July 1, 2013, the procedure for issuing prescriptions for narcotic and psychotropic drugs has been simplified in Russia.
4. On May 15, 2013, a law on mandatory drug testing of children in schools was passed. Psychiatrist Danilin, an active psychiatrist, radio host, in his blog said that this law would have a catastrophic effect on children in Russia, because due to the peculiarities of the interpretation of mental conditions in Russia, children suspected of using drugs will be treated for schizophrenia.
Tatyana Malchikova never did anything to stop these initiatives. Moreover, she did not even know about them. I learned this when, at the end of 2013, I created a monitoring service at the Bureau. What's this? Negligent attitude to one's duties or, as in the case of amendments to the Code of Administrative Procedure, in fact helping psychiatry to expand its influence? It looks very much like it.
In any case, the result is the same - during the work of Tatiana Malchikova, psychiatry in Russia has become more powerful.
This situation is briefly described by the words of psychiatrist Boris Piven, which he said at a conference in October 2013: “Several years ago we managed to extinguish the antipsychiatric wave.” Apparently, this did not happen without the participation of Tatiana Malchikova.
The above events and illogicalities raise many questions. But perhaps we will find answers to them at the very beginning of Tatiana Malchikova's activities as President of the CCHR of Russia.
To an uninitiated person, the career of Tatyana Malchikova may seem dizzying: in 2010, a girl from a secretary position receives the presidency. And already in 2011, in England, she received a prestigious international human rights award - an IAS gold medal for her incredible achievements. She received the medal not alone, but together with Azgar Ishkildin, executive director of the NP Citizen Commission for Human Rights of Russia.
Let's put aside vulgar speculation and just consider what kind of merits Tatyana Malchikova and Azgar Ishkildin received such a high rating from the international human rights community.
And the merits are as follows: Tatiana Malchikova made hundreds of appearances in the media, spoke to hundreds of opinion makers at CCHR exhibitions, won several Constitutional Courts and deprived psychiatrists of 7.5 billion rubles of state funding.
There is one problem. All of the events listed above took place between 2005 and 2009, when Malchikova was not yet the president of CCHR. During this period, I, Sofya Dorinskaya, was the President of the CCHR of Russia. I really want to review all these “hundreds of media appearances” that Malchikova was able to do in one, 2010. Can you see them? No! Because it is I, who made it.
Sofya Dorinskaya, the president CCHR Russia 2005-2009 years, psychiatrist
The examination, thanks to which psychiatrists lost 7.5 billion rubles (250 million dollars at that time), was done by me, a certified psychiatrist. Only a specialist - a practitioner in the field of psychiatry could conduct such an examination. Tatiana Malchikova is not even a doctor. Before CCHR, she built her career in the air conditioner sales business as a salesman.
As for Ishkildin. Yes, Ishkildin has been the director of the CCHR of Russia since 2005, and no one argues that he is still one.
But, in fairness and in order to understand how psychiatry managed to capture the current positions, let's pay attention to Ishkildin.
He received an IAS Freedom medal for investigating cases of forced sterilization. OK. Then what about the documentary record where I, as the president of CCHR and a doctor, conduct a survey of the forcibly sterilized?
Ishkildin wrote down for himself the creation of a report on the situation in the PNI (Psychoneurological camps), after which the Commissioner for Human Rights in Perm uncovered cases of forced sterilization. Good. May I see this document? And what about the report “On the situation in the PNI (Psychoneurological camps)”, which was released under my authorship in 2008? It is still distributed by CCHR.
How to deal with the fact that only I met with the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Perm Region, and I told how we managed to conduct an effective raid (to investigate forced sterilization) with an expert from the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Moscow Region, Olga Budaeva? It was at a conference at MGIMO where we met.
What about Ishkildin's statement in IMPACT magazine, that he introduced amendments to the Law on "Psychiatric care and guarantees of the rights of citizens in its provision" to the State Duma and they were adopted? In fact, these amendments were automatically introduced by the apparatus of the state. Duma of the Russian Federation after the Constitutional Court won on February 26, 2009. It's just the order. It's nothing.
But, to lie like that: “Under the leadership of Tatyana Malchikova and Azgar Ishkildin, the CCHR won the Constitutional Court on May 6, 2011 on partial incapacity.”
What about the fact that the Independent Psychiatric Association won this trial? Not CCHR!
Summing up, we can say that the reasons for the dizzying career and the complete failure of human rights work were the usual fraud, juggling of reports. Neither Malchikova nor Ishkildin have ever done anything more or less significant in the field of human rights. They only attributed to themselves someone else's.
When the laudatory songs subsided and working days began, our "heroes" blew the whole thing.
Of course, when asked how it happened that all the merits were attributed only to them, these two shamelessly stated that it was a team effort. We can agree with this if we consider the situation with a fly that sat on the back of a horse all day and at the end of the day said: “We plowed” as teamwork. Or if you are completely unaware of what happened.
The rest: forgery of documents, shameless lies in the face of the world community, complete inaction on the suppression of psychiatric initiatives and the Russian society actually placed at the disposal for legal drug dealers - the answer to the question in what Ms. Malchkova is an expert.
This is the revealed Truth.
