Ravil Maghanov, 67, chief executive of Russia’s private oil giant Lukoil – and an opponent of the war in Ukraine – died in a six-story plunge from a Moscow hospital window. The death on Thursday was reported as a suicide by Russian state media, which noted that the oil company’s board chairman had been treated for a heart attack and was taking antidepressants. In a statement, Lukoil said Maganov died after a “long illness,” according to the English-language Moscow Times. However, two people who knew the businessman well told Reuters it was highly unlikely that Maganov took his own life. The oil titan is one of several Russian energy executives to die suddenly and under mysterious circumstances since the war in Ukraine began. Another top Lukoil executive, Alexander Subbotin, was found dead in the basement of a house outside Moscow in May – the same month Vladislav Avayev, a former Gazprombank executive, was discovered fatally shot next to his wife and daughter.

Russian authorities claim he beat the couple to death with an ax before hanging himself. Spanish media reported no suicide note and no blood stains on his body. Alexander Tyulakov, a Gazprom executive, was found dead in his garage the day after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Lukoil, where Maganov had worked since 1993 – rising with the company as it grew since the collapse of the Soviet Union – was unusual among Russia’s oligarch class for consistently criticizing the war in Ukraine.
