Dmitri Anatolyevich Kuznetsov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dmitri Anatoljewitsch Kusnezow ( Russian Дми́трий Анато́льевич Кузнецов , English transcription Kuznetsov or Kouznetsov ; * 1955) is a Russian biologist and biochemist . From 1989 to 2000 he worked in public as a creationist and then as a Sindonologist . Between 1994 and 2002 he was found to have falsified research results and invented evidence in his scientific publications . The representations of his own scientific activities and activities also turned out to be manipulated.

Studies and activity until 1989

Prize of the "Lenin Komsomol"

According to his own account , Kuznetsov first studied medicine at the " Moscow Medical Academy IM Setschenow " (ММА) ( Russian Медицинская академия им. И. М. Сеченова ), where he obtained a doctorate in medicine in 1978 . 1981 followed a scientific research doctorate ( Ph.D. ) at the Moscow Lomonosov University and in 1989 the acquisition of the title "Doctor of Sciences" in molecular biology at the "Institute for Nutritional Research" ( НИИ питания РАМН ) of the Soviet "Academy of Medical Sciences". The Soviet doctoral degrees acquired by Kuznetsov were, according to Russian terminology, that of a "candidate for science" ( aspirantur ) and that of a "doctor of science". In Germany, the scientific degree "Candidate Nauk" is equated with the German doctoral degree, the scientific degree "Doktor Nauk" corresponds to the German habilitation .

In 1983 Kuznetsov received the Lenin Komsomol Prize ( премия Ленинского комсомола ), which was awarded annually to two young scientists. Later this award was sometimes abbreviated in press publications as the " Lenin Prize ", the most prestigious scientific award in the USSR. In 1986, according to his own résumé, he was honored by the Council of Ministers of the USSR for his biochemical work. A valid document for this price has not yet been found. At the end of the 1980s he was a member of the advisory board of the “International Journal of Neuroscience” and, according to his own statements, a member of the editorial committee of two specialist journals called “Journal of Applied Biochemistry and Biophysics” and “Ecology Research”. The latter two magazines later turned out to be nonexistent.

In 1979 Kuznetsov started scientific publications. His essays show him until 1989 as an employee of the “Laboratory for Toxicology ” of the Moscow “Municipal Institute for Hygiene and Epidemiology ”.

Creationist Research

The origin of the species according to the young earth theory

According to his own statement, Kuznetsov came into contact with creationism for the first time in 1983 through a book by Henry M. Morris and became an advocate of the young earth theory , which is represented by Morris and the Creation Research Society . This organization is generally regarded as a non-scientific missionary organization whose "research" is usually classified as scientifically unreliable by the established sciences. Two years later he became a supporter of an American Baptist Anabaptist movement missionary in the Soviet Union .

In 1989, Kuznetsov published an article in a reputable journal about in vitro studies on voles , in which he used molecular research data to argue against the theory of evolution. The paper dealt with the interactions between messenger RNA (mRNA) and cytoplasm . Kuznetsov was isolated according to this paper mRNA of three Wühlmausarten in order protein to produce ( protein synthesis ). The result was surprising that every vole species had a ribonucleotide that blocked the production of the protein of the other species, but not that of its own mRNA. This blocking effect did not occur in more distant species such as rabbits and humans. Kuznetsov drew the conclusion from this that this ribonucleotide is an "anti-evolutionary factor" that serves the immutability of the respective species. He assessed his results as "a new criticism of the modern molecular-genetic concept of biological evolution" and as confirmation of "the general creationist concept" of the development of various forms of life.

The thesis presented in this publication gave Kuznetsov an impressive start in the creationist scene. At the beginning of 1990 he met with employees of the Institute of Creation Research (ICR) in Santee, California, and agreed to work together. In the following years, the "Creation Science Foundation" adorned itself publicly with Kuznetsov, whom they described as a "top scientist" and "true world-class researcher", who declared that followers of the theory of evolution would select data "subjectively" to support their theory. Various creationist organizations funded what critics call "leisure research" anti-evolutionary investigations of the "creationist superstar".

In 1990, Kuznetsov became president of the Moscow Creation Science Fellowship, Inc. He toured the United States, lecturing on biological evidence for creationism, and publishing several papers in creationist journals. With the creationist Lionel Dahmer and his friend and colleague Andrei A. Iwanow ( English Ivanov), he published a study on the age determination of dinosaur bones , which according to the authors should have an age of twenty to thirty thousand years. This result, which contradicts the general state of research, also met with a favorable reception by the creationists.

In 1991 the Creation Science Foundation organized a lecture tour through Australia for Kuznetsov . In 1992 and 1994 he organized international creationist symposia in Moscow. In 1992 he published the pamphlet “What your textbook has concealed” in Moscow. Truth and Fiction in the Theory of Evolution ”, an anthology in 1993 entitled“ The Scientific Foundation for the Idea of ​​Creation ”, which contained essays by Russian scientists with an anti-evolutionist tendency. He also wrote a column in the monthly "The Protestant" entitled "Science Without Atheism".

Allegations of scientific falsification

Kuznetsov's vole article from 1989 went unnoticed for a long time in specialist circles of evolutionary biologists. Dan Larhammer, Professor of Molecular Cell Biology at Uppsala University , read the article in 1994 and found serious errors in Kuznetsov's methodology . He described his experimental approach as "improper" and "obscure", which was already unusual given the cautious language used in scientific circles. He assessed Kuznetsov's experiments as technically inadequate and inadequately documented and stated that the numerical results would appear “fabricated” - a clear allegation of falsification. Kuznetsov's conclusions therefore have no scientific basis. Larhammer also checked the article's key references and found that at least 8 of them were incorrect: either the article did not exist in the specified location and / or the author and magazine did not exist. In one case, the alleged author of an article stated that he had never published anything on such a topic. Kuznetsov was then immediately dismissed from the advisory board of the "International Journal of Neuroscience".

Startled by the publications, creationist scholars examined Larhammer's allegations and found fictitious evidence in two other articles by Kuznetsov. Thereupon the "Creation Research Society" separated from him because of "misconduct", with "financial problems" with Kuznetsov being cited as an additional reason. A later investigation by the Italian skeptic Gian Marco Rinaldi came to the final conclusion that more than 50 indications of fraud could be found in the individual references to Kuznetsov's vole article alone. Kuznetsov never commented on the allegations, but abruptly ended his public career as a creationist biologist in 1995.

Sindonological research

Photo negative of the Turin Shroud

Kuznetsov had long since found a new field of activity, this time in archaeological chemistry, a branch of archaeometry . As the main research object, he chose the Shroud of Turin , a length of fabric that allegedly shows an image of the body of Jesus Christ. His work as a Sindonologist was originally inspired by Guy Berthault, a wealthy French creationist who had financially supported Kuznetsov on most projects since 1992. While the scandal surrounding his falsified creationist research was raging, he had already published nine articles on the shroud in recognized chemical and archaeological journals from 1994 onwards. His co-author in all cases was his old companion Andrei Ivanov.

The main message of his publications was the refutation of the results of a carbon-C14 analysis of the shroud in 1988. According to this investigation, the shroud came from the Middle Ages and not from the time of Jesus. Kuznetsov claimed in his publications that he had experimentally proven that the composition of the carbon isotopes in the cellulose of the linen fabric could be changed by various factors. Contrary to previous investigations, the substance could therefore be 2,000 years old. The followers of the authenticity of the relic hailed him as “a kind of savior of the shroud”. Radiocarbon laboratory representatives who carried out the 1988 study immediately rejected Kuznetsov's results as incorrect. His tests turned out not to be reproducible.

In 1995, Kuznetsov was a participant in a congress of chemical archeology in California and a conference on the dating and preservation of ancient textiles at the University of North Carolina . He gave related seminars at the University of North Texas and lectured at Yale . In early 1996 he went on a lecture tour through Italy. The curriculum vitae of Kuznetsov also lists seminars for 1995 to 1997 at the Faculty of Chemistry at Sapienza in Rome, at the Politechnikum in Turin , at the University of Florence and at the University of Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates . There are also numerous conferences in Italy .

Again allegations of counterfeiting

Of Kuznetsov's archaeometric publications in reputable journals, nine were produced in a period of a few months in 1994 and published between 1994 and 1996. All articles cover experimental work on chemical changes in flax pulp tissues. A first check already shows that there are actually only three autonomous works, the number of which has been artificially inflated by cloning. Gian Marco Rinaldi has carefully examined each of these articles and published the following results in 2002:

In a group of articles, Kuznetsov reports on comparative tests with a total of fifteen samples of antique textiles from various age groups. According to him, fourteen of these samples come from various Russian museums. According to Rinaldi, some of these museums do not exist, as do several lenders named by Kuznetsov. Other museums stated that they did not give Kuznetsov any textile samples. Therefore, the actual implementation of the experiments described cannot be assumed.

Textile samples from Moscow and Krasnodar are examined and compared in two further articles . In addition to Kuznetsov and his two colleagues, two other co-authors of the "Krasnodar Center for Environmental Studies, University of Rostov-on-Don" are named in this work. Odile Eisenstein from the University of Montpellier , then editor-in-chief of the "New Journal of Chemistry", came to the conclusion that such a research center and the named co-authors did not exist in Krasnodar.

In some articles, measurement results of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) on carbon isotopes are given. The laboratory in Protvino named for carrying out this work apparently never existed, the names of the laboratory scientists mentioned by Kuznetsov in two articles are unknown to the professional world, the AMS measurements described were, according to general knowledge, not possible outside of military research institutions in Russia at the time .

In one of the nine articles, Rinaldi could not find any evidence of fraud.

In 2000, Kuznetsov published a tenth final scientific article on the subject, which reported extensively on the study of Irish finds. The four historical textile samples listed in it do not exist. The sites mentioned by Kuznetsov do not exist or were not archaeologically investigated at the time. The lenders, scientific advisors and the persons listed in the acknowledgments also do not exist or cannot be verified. One of the key documents listed, an alleged publication by the Georgian Academy of Sciences , is as little known there as the stated authors. It follows that Kuznetsov cannot have examined any of the samples listed and the results cited by him in the article are not based on any real basis. The National Museum of Ireland came to the same conclusions in an independent study.

Kuznetsov never commented on these allegations.

Even before this, doubts about Kuznetsov's financial conduct and his scientific honesty had arisen among the Sindonologians. Physics professor John P. Jackson publicly accused Kuznetsov in the fall of 1996 of having used several of his calculations in a statement on the Shroud to give the impression that the work was by Kuznetsov himself. And the writer Ian Wilson , author of a book about this Shroud of Turin, warned at the end of 1996 of Kuznetsov's financial machinations in connection with a Russian licensed edition of his book. But nobody in his new field of research had noticed that Kuznetsov was also suspected of being a forger in a completely different area of ​​science. In retrospect, the Italian skeptic Rinaldi remarked: "If someone had noticed that a Dmitri Kuznetsov was accused of falsifying a work with mice, who would have thought that it would be the same Dmitri Kuznetsov who deals with antique bed linen?"

Kuznetsov abruptly withdrew from sindonological research in the winter of 1997/98. The funds were withdrawn from him by his donors. The reason for this was his arrest for fraud in the USA.

Criminal investigation

In December 1997, Kuznetsov was arrested in the small town of Danbury , Connecticut , on charges of theft , check forgery and attempted check fraud. Kuznetsov had made out checks stolen from a married couple in Virginia on himself as beneficiary and tried to deposit them at a bank into an account he had opened for this purpose. The same method had been used to cash in checks for the same theft in New York and New Jersey . In these cases, too, Kuznetsov was suspected of perpetration. Unable to raise $ 100,000 on bail, Kuznetsov was held in custody for five months.

In May 1998, Kuznetsov was conditionally released as a first-time offender with a six-month probationary period under the condition that his victims would be compensated and that he would serve 150 hours of free classes at colleges. However, since he did not comply with the legal requirements and did not appear in court when requested, the police put him out for a search. Kuznetsov escaped arrest by fleeing to Moscow.

In June 2001, Kuznetsov stated in a newspaper article in the " Moskovsky Komsomolets " (Московский Комсомолец) that he had been wrongly accused, but that he could not pursue his rehabilitation because of blocked bank accounts. Incidentally, Kuznetsov only made this public statement in order to defend himself against allegations that were brought against him in the course of an American-Russian secret service affair.

Intelligence affair

In January 2001, the American student John Tobin was arrested in the Russian city of Voronezh and a small amount of marijuana was found on him . For this he was sentenced to 37 months in prison, but the sentence was reduced to 12 months by a higher court. Even before the trial began, the spokesman for the Russian counterintelligence service FSB in Voronezh, Pavel Bolshunov, said Tobin was suspected of having come to Russia for training purposes, not as a student, but on behalf of an American secret service. At the end of June 2001, the FSB announced the presentation of a witness who could testify to Tobin's activity as an FBI agent. The witness was Dmitri A. Kuznetsov.

Kuznetsov said he saw Tobin on a report on Russian television and recognized him as an FBI agent who visited him in prison while he was incarcerated in Connecticut in 1998 and wanted to promote cooperation with American intelligence. The FSB then arranged a confrontation between Kuznetsov and the prisoner. Tobin later described this visit by Kuznetsov, who appeared in his cell accompanied by two FSB agents, as "the darkest moment" of his imprisonment.

The suspicion against Tobin could actually be based on some circumstantial evidence: Tobin was a student at military cadet institutes from 1994 to 1997 and had not only learned Russian there, but also attended a course on questioning techniques for counter-espionage. He was also a reservist in the Army Intelligence Unit. He had a college degree in "International Relations" and in 2000 a doctoral scholarship from the Fulbright Commission for a thesis on "Russia's Transition to Democracy". Tobin lived near Kuznetsov's detention site, but was a student at Middlebury College , Vermont, more than 200 miles away in 1998, and was only 21 years old. Tobin, in turn, accused the Russian authorities of trying to recruit him as an agent.

When the international press began to take an interest in Kuznetsov after his public statement, he was suddenly "undetectable". Thereupon journalists asked former colleagues of Kuznetsov in America about his reputation. Sidney Weinstein, professor at Yeshiva University , director of the prestigious International Journal of Neuroscience and former sponsor of Kuznetsov told the Moscow Times , among others, that Kuznetsov had gone from being a promising scientist to a “clever deceiver” and described him as one "Liar", "thief" and "sociopath" who violated the rules of scientific ethics on several occasions. Weinstein went on to say, "I have serious doubts about what Kuznetsov has to say on a subject." Another respondent, Ted Sarafian, a professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, said he had one case back in the 1980s suspected that Kuznetsov had plagiarized a passage from one of his essays.

After serving 6 months, Tobin was released early for good conduct and returned to America.

Remaining since 2002

Kuznetsov's other publications were never checked for evidence and are cited further. For years from 2002 there were no clearly verifiable indications as to whether and where Kuznetsov continued to work scientifically. The publications that can be found under the name Dmitri A. or DA Kuznetsov (Kouznetsov) up to 2009 could not be unequivocally assigned to him due to the frequency of the name parts and the lack of further biographical data. However, there is an employee of the "NN Semenow Institute for Chemical Physics" ( Институт химической физики им. Н. Н. Семёнова ) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow who has noticeably often old works by Dmitri, who is treated here A. Kuznetsov cites as references. He drew his English publications with DA Kuznetsov.

Recent publications confirm the identity of Kuznetsov with the employee of the "NN Semenow Institute for Chemical Physics", where he is still active today as a "Senior Fellow". Since 2008, the forger, who has been convicted several times, has also been Professor of Medical Nanobiotechnology at the Russian State Medical University (RSMU). In more recent biographical accounts, Kuznetsov also claims that he received the State Prize of the USSR in 1988 . He did not mention this award in his résumés from the 1990s. There is currently no evidence of this.

In order to spread his newer work, Kuznetsov founded a questionable network of online specialist journals in 2010, for which he acts as editor-in-chief. They operate as the European Journal of Medicinal Plants , International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry or British Journal of Medicine and Medical Research . The title is entirely fictitious, because the periodicals have no relation to any reputable international or national specialist organizations. The scientific seriousness of the publications is allegedly guaranteed by peer review . This claim is extremely questionable as there are often only a few days between submission and publication of the work. In the case of the mentioned periodicals, there is therefore no verification that corresponds to the scientific standard .

Workplaces and academic positions

In the early 1990s, Kuznetsov declared that he had been head of a company-owned biochemical laboratory called "Laserinvest" in Moscow, a joint venture between Great Britain, the Soviet Union and India with a cosmological ("cosmetological") focus since 1987/88 . Apart from Kuznetsov, no scientific publications are known under the name of this laboratory, also known as "Medinvest". Actual research activity by this facility has not yet been proven.

Elsewhere there is a note that he is also a member of a "Comparative Biochemistry Group, Delfison Division Laboratories, Incorporated" at the "Central Narcological Hospital" in Moscow. The existence of such a group has not yet been proven, a Delfison company has not yet been proven. The director of Moscow's “Central Narcological Hospital” later stated on request that the hospital had used a “Delfison method” between 1986 and 1990 as part of a program for the treatment of alcoholism . Kuznetsov was never a member of the institution.

In 1993, Kuznetsov finally declared that he was director of the "Laboratory of Physico-Chemical Research Methods", which should belong to the "Institute for Hygiene and Epidemiology", his former place of work in Moscow. The existence of such a facility has not yet been proven. A “Laboratory of Physico-Chemical Methods of Research” belongs to Lomonossow University, where Kuznetsov studied. In addition, no connection can be seen. With the exception of Kuznetsov's partner Andrei Ivanov, no published work under this name can be verified.

In the mid-1990s, according to Kuznetsov's statement, this facility was replaced by "EA Sedow Biopolymer Research Laboratories", or "SBR Laboratories, Inc." for short. According to Kuznetsov, it was a private institution that was established between 1992 and 1998 existed. Apart from the articles under Kuznetsov's direction, no publications by this laboratory are detectable. A company "SBR Laboratories" could not be identified, its address is said to have been identical to the then private address of Kuznetsov. The creationist “Moscow Creation Science Fellowship”, of which Kuznetsov was president in the 1990s, can still be found at this address.

In 1994, Kuznetsov was named as adjunct professor at the Institute of Creation Research (ICR) of the controversial Creation Research Society in San Diego . References to such activity have been removed from the organization's website. Most of Kuznetsov's publications in the organization's journals are no longer accessible online.

In an interview with the Russian newspaper "Moskovsky Komsomolets" in 2001, Kuznetsov said that in 1997 he was Professor of Biochemistry at Western Connecticut State University . There is no evidence of this.

In 2000, Kuznetsov published in the British journal "Studies in Conservation" the biographical note that he was a professor of biochemistry at the "Nesterova College" of Moscow University. The "Nesterova College" does not belong to Moscow University. According to its own account, a private educational academy that has existed since 1992, the institution has never had a natural science department.

In a short CV from 2012, Kuznetsov states that he was visiting professor at the University of Southern California in San Diego from 1990 to 1993 , at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 1993 to 1995 and at Yale New-Haven from 1995 to 1998. This information is incorrect or falsifies Kuznetsov's actual short stays at these facilities.

Also to the employees of Kuznetsov, Andrei A. Ivanov and Pavel R. Welezky ( Engl. Veletsky), there are doubts. As co-authors of numerous articles, one should assume that they are trained specialists. Ivanov is expressly stated in creationist texts to be "Ph.D., BS , MS ". Ivanov seems to exist at least as a person. Nonetheless, neither of the two persons has yet been identified as employees in any academic institution before or after their work for Kuznetsov. The identity of Ivanov with the colleague of the same name at the Moscow Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry is possible, but not certain due to the frequent name parts and the lack of biographical data. Also, at least for Welezky, there are no scientific publications that can be assigned to him without Kuznetsov. Since research institutions and their entire staff do not disappear without a trace in the 20th century, it can be assumed that these persons - at least scientifically - do not exist until verifiable evidence is presented.
