Let $T$ be a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $H$ with domain $\mathcal D(T)$. Assume that the spectrum of $T$ is confined in the union of disjoint intervals $Δ_k =[α_{2k-1},α_{2k}]$, $k\in \mathbb{Z}$, and $$ α_{2k+1}-α_{2k} \geq b|α_{2k+1}+α_{2k}|^p\quad \text{ for some }\,b>0,\,p\in[0,1). $$ Suppose that a linear operator $B$ in $H$ is $p$-subordinated to $T$, i.e. $\mathcal D(B) \supset\mathcal D(T)$ and $\|Bx\| \leq b'\,\|Tx\|^p\|x\|^{1-p} +M\|x\| \text{\, for all } x\in \mathcal D(T)$, with some $b'>0$ and $M\geq 0$. Then the spectrum of the perturbed operator $A=T+B$ lies in the union of a rectangle in $\mathbb{C}$ and double parabola $P_{p,h} = \bigl\{λ\in \mathbb{C}\,\bigl|\,|\mathop{\rm Im} λ|\leq h|\mathop{\rm Re} λ|^p\bigr\}$, provided that $h>b'$. The vertical strips $Ω_k =\{λ\in\mathbb{C}|\,|r_k-{\rm Re}\,λ|\leq δr_k^p\}$, $r_k =(α_{2k}+α_{2k+1})/2$, belong to the resolvent set of $T$, provided that $δ<b -b'$ and $ |k|\geq N$ for $N$ large enough. For $|k|\ge N+1$, denote by $Π_k$ the curvilinear trapezoid formed by the lines ${\rm Re}\,λ= r_{k-1}$, ${\rm Re}\,λ= r_{k}$, and the boundary of the parabola $P_{p,h}$. Assume that $Q_0$ is the Riesz projection corresponding to the (bounded) part of the spectrum of $T$ that lies outside $\bigcup_{|k|\geq N+1}Π_k$. And let $Q_k$, $|k|\ge N+1$, be the Riesz projection for the part of the spectrum of $T$ confined within $Π_k$. Main result of the work consists in proving that the system of the invariant subspaces $Q_k(H)$, $|k|\geq N+1$, together with the invariant subspace $Q_0(H)$ forms an unconditional basis of subspaces in the space $H$.
