Life

Ivan Sikorskyj was born in 1842 to a Ukrainian priestly family in the village of Antoniw in what is now Skwyra Raion in the Ukrainian Oblast of Kiev . He studied at the Medical Faculty of the Kiev St. Vladimir University and graduated in 1869. In 1872 he wrote his dissertation "on the lymphatic vessels of the lungs" and decided to specialize in mental and nervous disorders. In 1873 he moved to Saint Petersburg to work as a doctor at the Medical and Surgical Academy under Professor Ivan Mikhailovich Balinski ( Иван Михайлович Балинский ). He then worked for two years at St. Nicholas Psychiatric Hospital and then returned to the Academy as a private lecturer. During his time in St. Petersburg he published 17 scientific papers and became an experienced scientist and member of scientific societies in Russia, Belgium and France. On January 1, 1885 he moved back to Kiev and received the chair of nervous and mental diseases at the Kiev University, where he worked until the end of his life. In 1886 he founded the magazine "Вопросы нервно-психической медицины и психологии" (German: questions of neuro-psychological medicine and psychology ) and became its editor-in-chief. He also founded an educational institute for mentally handicapped children in Kiev and in 1912 the world's first institute for child psychopathology. He has published more than 100 scientific papers, including on psychology and psychiatry, many of which have been translated into other languages.

He was a theorist of nationalism and was a member of the Kiev Club of Russian Nationalists for many years. As a medical professor, he publicly supported the version of the prosecution in the anti-Semitic Beilis affair .

Shortly after the conquest of Kiev by the Bolsheviks , the 77-year-old Sikorskyj was summoned by the Cheka on February 14, 1919 . He was supposed to be forced to persuade his emigrated son, Igor, to return to Russia through a call in the press. During the interrogation, Sikorskyj suffered a fatal heart attack. He was buried in the Baikowe Cemetery in Kiev .
