The CEO of Russian oil company Lukoil, Ravil Maganov, has died after falling out of a Moscow hospital window. The Interfax news agency reported on Thursday. The police have initiated investigations, according to media reports, the most likely cause is suicide. It is said that Maganow was diagnosed with heart problems and depression in the hospital.
However, it is not the first death among Russia’s top managers since the outbreak of war: according to media reports, for example, Lukoil manager Alexander Subbotin died in May, allegedly during occult treatment for alcohol addiction.
In addition, several managers of Russian energy companies have been found dead since the beginning of the year. They too are said to have taken their own lives. In a video interview published on YouTube at the end of April, Gazprombank’s longtime deputy head Igor Volobuyev doubted that it was a suicide. Shortly before, Volobuyev had fled to Ukraine and stated that he wanted to fight Russian troops there.
