Many members of the Russian elite died in a suspicious and mysterious way from the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Analysts say the reasons for this are complex, but also typical of Russia’s high politics.
Although Russia’s closingness does not exist, according to Western agencies and Russian activists, more than 75 important people from Russia’s political, military and business circles have died in Ukraine in February 2022. To July 2025. Years.
These include oligarchs, politicians, military officials and persons associated with state structures.
The official Moscow called their suffering suicides, falls from the window, random poisoning, cardiac shocks or violent deaths in family tragedies.
The last such case death is the novel.
His body was found in the Odints Moscow neighborhood, in which many members of the Russian elite live. Russian media reported that he committed suicide in the park, and that gunman who gave him President Putin.
The Staro is 2024 from May 2024. was the Minister of Transportation, and before that, the governor of the cozur area, which Ukrainian forces attacked in August 2024.
The military success of Kiev in that region has humiliated Russia. The Staro is removed with the ministerial function immediately on the eve of the suicide.
Padua from windows, drowning in bath and pool
The Jevgeni’s sake was killed in an aviation accident for two months after he started the rebellion against President Putin with his wagner’s mercenary army.
He and his men played an important role in the first year of war in Ukraine, but when they expressed dissatisfaction with the water leadership and headed into a military service on Moscow, it was clear that it would not last long. Today, no more nor his groups are gone.
One of the few companies in Russia, initially shyly advertising against invasion of Ukraine, with an explanation that such a war will weaken the economy, Lukoil.
The president of that energy Diva Ravil Maganov died after the alleged fall from the hospital window in Moscow.
Fall from the window, Oligarh Pavel Antov and Marina Jankin, the Financial Director of the Western Military District have ended.
Suicide by suspension committed by Sergei Fushion, former executive director Novatek, a senior manager in Gazprom Alexander Tjeljakov and Roman Malik, colonel in charge of mobilization.
The array continues with suffers in the bathtub, pavement drownings, falls down the stairs, and the most commonly cited reason for death is a heart attack.
Russian media never explored what is behind this number of deaths of influential people, and the official Moscow would only express complicity and ignored the inquiries of the Western media.
The atmosphere of fear
Russian professors and analysts who fled to the west are mainly afraid of their name to comment on those deaths.
But they give a sense that those are a consequence of complex struggles for power, control over resources and clear and fast removal of potential threats regime.
All this produces an additional atmosphere of fear and uncertainty within the elite, which further strengthens authoritarian control and deterres them from opposing regime.
In this sense, suspicious deaths serve as a warning to those who could be a dissident or threat.
He is also professor Jeffrey Winters, a political site from Illinois, the author of the book “Oligarsi”, which points out that rich people in Russia are almost impossible to kill without the state’s decision.
“These are billionaires with bodyguards, with access to best medical care, private drivers, with all the best protection conditions that money can buy,” he said.
“I can’t claim directly, but it seems logical to move them to those of the same hand that enabled them to become rich, influential or highly politically positioned.”
Disloyalty equal to death
All these suspicious deaths of Ukraine benefits to warn the ruthlessness and becoming of the Russian regime and clarified the west against what Ukrainians are actually struggling.
Advisor to the Ukrainian President Mihajlo Podočak stated that in Russia disloyalty means death.
The former candidal advisor for Russia and the great connoisseur of the way Fiona Hill works that not all deaths needed under the same denominator, but should not even wonder what undemocratic regime does not work in a democratic way.
Hill emphasized in the Guardian interview as only one segment of the war Russia with the west that already lasts.
“Russia hardened as an opponent in ways we probably didn’t predict completely,” she said. Poisoning, assassinations, cyber attacks, sabotage and infrastructure threats are just part of the same tactics, it concluded.
“Syndrome of sudden death of influential Russians”, as the BBC last year, called those cases, did not start at the time of invasion of Ukraine.
And before attacking Ukraine at least 38 of the deaths of business people who were close to the cremier at some point, he explains to the miserable or mysterious circumstances.
The most famous case is Oligarh Boris Berezovski, who committed suicide in his home near London.
British investigators have said that they did not find any evidence that it was violent death, but in the social networking in the explanation, many did not believe.
As neither today many do not believe that the influential and rich Russians are so careless or mentally labile.
