Russian Oil Company Chairman Dies Falling From Hospital Window After Criticizing War In Ukraine

Ravil Maganov, 67, was pronounced dead after falling from a ward on the sixth floor of the Central Clinical Hospital where he was being treated, according to Interfax. Police are investigating the cause of his fall, which came months after Lukoil publicly opposed Mr Putin’s military offensive in Ukraine. It came as a team of UN nuclear inspectors crossed the front line into Russian territory in southern Ukraine to reach Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which is held by Mr Putin’s forces. After being delayed for several hours by shelling near the site, the team arrived at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in a large convoy, with a heavy presence of Russian soldiers nearby. Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of trying to sabotage the International Atomic Energy Agency’s mission to the plant, located on the southern bank of a huge reservoir on the Dnipro River that separates Russian and Ukrainian forces in central southern Ukraine. Since the early days of the conflict, the plant has been controlled by Russian troops but operated by Ukrainian personnel. Lukoil confirmed Maganov’s death in a statement, which said only that he “died after a serious illness.” Russia’s state-run Tass news agency reported the death as a suicide and said Maghanov had been hospitalized after suffering a heart attack. Lukoil, Russia’s second-largest oil producer, is one of the few companies in the country that has opposed the war in Ukraine. In a statement in March, he said: “Calling for an early end to the armed conflict, we express our sincere sympathy for all the victims affected by this tragedy. We strongly support a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of the problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy.” Maganov had worked at Lukoil since 1993, shortly after the company was founded, and had overseen its refining, production and exploration, becoming chairman in 2020. He is the latest high-profile figure to die in unusual circumstances.

Leonid Shulman, 60, who served as head of Gazprom Invest’s transport service, was found dead on January 30 in the bathroom of a country house north of St. Petersburg. Alexander Tyulakov, 61, a Gazprom executive, was found dead in the garage of his St. Petersburg home on February 25, the morning after Russia invaded Ukraine. Mikhail Watford, a 66-year-old Ukrainian-born businessman, was found dead at a property in Surrey on February 28. And Vladislav Avayev, a 51-year-old former vice president of Gazprombank, was found dead in a Moscow apartment along with the bodies of his wife and daughter on April 18.
