Kashpirovsky dies at 87 His TV healing legacy

Oct 3

Vremya announces Anatoly Kashpirovsky's death at eighty-seven. Kirill Brainin's full obituary recalls a children's enuresis session the report dates to 1988, while expressly saying reliable outcome data do not exist, and a Moscow–Kyiv televised breast operation presented as remote analgesia. It includes archival speech from Kashpirovsky, patient Lyubov Grabovskaya and surgeon Valentin Korolyov. The reporter raises possible staging and recounts a different Tbilisi patient's later pain admission and retraction. It discusses public disorientation and hope, claims of helping AIDS and radiation victims, parliamentary election, parodies, rivalry with Allan Chumak, lawsuits, a stated 1993 Health Ministry ban and later audience meetings. Brief Budyonnovsk and Muhammad Ali references conclude the mixed skeptical and sympathetic appraisal. Medical claims remain attributed, without scientific endorsement.

Vremya reports psychotherapist Anatoly Kashpirovsky's death at eighty-seven and revisits his mass following, healing claims and mixed legacy. The full obituary preserves skepticism about evidence and remote analgesia alongside sympathy for the hope he offered. It gives no cause of death and does not validate medical claims. TSN's October 3 obituary gives his age as eighty-six, calls the televised healing phenomenon collective psychosis and charlatanism, and recalls his Soviet following, later online sessions and support for Putin. Vremya gives eighty-seven and a more sympathetic, qualified assessment of hope despite lack of reliable cure evidence. The age discrepancy and distinct legacy judgments remain attributed; no cause of death or medical effectiveness is established.
