Lie detector, polygraph in Ukraine.

Welcome to the official website of ARGO-A, the leader in lie detection in Ukraine, Europe. Our leading specialists have worked in this realm since 1997, becoming the nation's first private lie detection representatives.

ARGO-A is a privately owned lie detection firm that operates in three primary business segments pertaining to the psychophysiological detection of deception:

ARGO-A provides professional polygraph services (polygraph examinations) to private businesses, private citizens, and government agencies and organizations. Our services are aimed at improving our clients' security, security and profitability of their businesses, and the quality of their personal lives. We accomplish this by conducting pre-employment, periodic, and special polygraph evaluations of individuals.

ARGO-A is the authorized representative of Lafayette Instrument Company polygraphs in Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Lafayette Instrument Company, located in Lafayette (Indiana, USA), has been manufacturing polygraphs since the 1950's and is the global leader in the manufacture and sale of polygraphs. Lafayette Instrument Company polygraph instrumentation is accredited by the leading international polygraph associations and is preferred by polygraph examiners from the 80 countries using polygraphs. The company's global polygraph market share is approximately 85 percent. ARGO-A is Lafayette Instrument Company's No. 1 polygraph dealer in Europe and No. 2 polygraph dealer internationally.


ARGO-A prepares highly skilled, methodically competent polygraph examiners in Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine, representing in Europe the Indiana Polygraph Institute (Indianapolis, Indiana). Indiana Polygraph Institute is an accredited institution offering comprehensive polygraph examiner training to the private, public, and law enforcement sectors around the world.

ARGO-A employs the highest quality personnel. Dr. Andrii Volyk is the founder and director of ARGO-A and an internationally trained and accredited polygraph examiner. Dr. Volyk holds a degree in lie detection from the Arizona School of Polygraph Science (Phoenix, Arizona, USA). This famous school is one of only nineteen polygraph schools in the world accredited by the prestigious American Polygraph Association (APA). Dr. Volyk became the first Ukrainian graduate of the Arizona School of Polygraph Science. Dr. Volyk holds a PhD in Economics from the Institute of Agrarian Economics (Kyiv, Ukraine). He studied for approximately one year at the highly ranked Purdue University located in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Dr. Volyk is the first active member of the APA from Ukraine. The APA is the most famous and renowned international polygraph association, with high moral and professional requirements for its members. Founded in 1966, the APA is the oldest and the largest professional polygraph association in the world, counting over 2600 members in 32 countries. Furthermore, Dr. Volyk is President of the International League of Polygraph Examiners (ILPE) - the international professional association of polygraph specialists representing the private, law enforcement, and government sectors worldwide.

Polygraph examiner, Oleksandr Volyk, MS, MBA, is the first Ukrainian graduate of the world renowned Maryland Institute of Criminal Justice (MICJ), located near Washington D.C. - the capital city of the United States of America. This institute, established in 1971, has been accredited by the American Polygraph Association for over 20 years. Mr. Volyk studied under the tutelage of Mr. Billy H. Thompson - the founder and director of MICJ, a remarkable polygraph examiner with nearly 50 years of professional experience. Mr. Volyk has worked in the field of lie detection since 1997 and is a member of the ILPE and the APA. Mr. Oleksandr Volyk has earned two master's degrees from Purdue University: Master of Science in Agricultural Economics and Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the elitist Krannert School of Management.

Upon completion of their degrees at U.S. polygraph schools, Dr. Andrii Volyk and Oleksandr Volyk underwent a comprehensive training course on computerized polygraphs at Lafayette Instrument Company. Dr. Andrii Volyk and Oleksandr Volyk have been employed by several prominent national and international companies, and possess extensive professional experience. They are fluent in the Ukrainian, English, Spanish, French and Russian languages. Both polygraphists are Honored Citizens of two American cities - Lafayette and West Lafayette.

ARGO-A specialists are private polygraph examiners, who are not employees of any government or police agency; thus the privacy of individuals, companies, and institutions is not compromised. ARGO-A provides discreet and confidential testing for clients whilst remaining independent, impartial, and objective. ARGO-A maintains the highest standards of moral and ethical professional conduct complying with the International League of Polygraph Examiners Code of Ethics and the American Polygraph Association Code of Ethics.

ARGO-A possesses the largest polygraph library in Ukraine. The ARGO-A library, established in 1997, has over 200 titles of books, brochures, catalogs, periodicals, scientific papers, statistical data and video materials predominantly in the English language. This is impressive not just by Ukrainian standards, considering the relatively confidential nature of the lie detection field and a rather limited choice of polygraph literature around the world. The ARGO-A library contains a number of rare, collectible books, among which are: "Lying and Its Detection" (1932) by Dr. John A. Larson - the lie detector/polygraph inventor; "Lie Detection and Criminal Interrogation" (1953) by Fred E. Inbau and John E. Reid - prominent American, world-class, polygraph examiners and interrogators. Several books contain authors' autographs, among which the most valuable are: "The Lie Detector Test" (1938) by Dr. William Moulton Marston - a key figure in polygraph development; "The Lie Detector Man" (1984) by Eloise Keeler - sister of Leonarde Keeler - the father of the modern polygraph.

ARGO-A has the best collection of ink, thermal, and computerized polygraphs of different generations and brands in Europe. The collection includes historic polygraphs manufactured by Lafayette Instrument Company, Stoelting, Associated Research, B&W Associates, Thompson-Metrigraph Instrument Company and others. ARGO-A's library and polygraph collection continue to expand.

Thank you for your interest in our services and products. Our goal is to improve your personal security, the quality of your personal life and the security and profitability of your business.

We hope that our collaboration results in our mutual success.
