Katchanovski is notable neither as an academic nor as an author, and is not known by the wider public for any reason. His sole claim on public attention is as the origin of a WP:FRINGE theory that the Maidan massacre was a false flag operation that has subsequently been disseminated by Russian propaganda sources. The biographical article on Katchanovski is a WP:COATRACK for this contentious political viewpoint, and should be subsumed into the main article on Maidan casualties, should anything be worth rescuing.

This article has been re-nominated for deletion as previous discussions did not reach consensus. Since those discussions, further developments have rendered Katchanovski's conspiracy theory even more dubious: most notably, that a Ukrainian court has determined that 40 of the 48 dead were shot by the Berkut, and that causes of the remaining 8 deaths cannot be conclusively determined.
