Lukoil boss dies after falling from a window in Moscow

The CEO of the Russian oil company Lukoil, Rawil Maganow (67), died when he fell 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. "We deeply regret to announce that Ravil Maganov has passed away after a serious illness," Lukoil said, without providing further details about his death.

Maganov has worked at the second largest Russian oil company since 1993 and became chairman in 2020. He was a close associate of Vagit Alekperov, one of the founders of Lukoil. Alekperov resigned as President of Lukoil in April after Britain froze his assets and imposed a travel ban on him as part of sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine war.

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.
