Ceo Of Russian Oil Company Dies Falling From Hospital Window

Comment The chairman of Russia’s second-largest oil company, Lukoil, died on Thursday after reportedly falling from a window at a Moscow hospital where he was being treated for a heart attack. Ravil Maganov, 67, fell from a sixth-floor window at the Central Clinical Hospital around 7 a.m. local time, state news agency Tass reported. It was not clear whether Maganov’s death was an accident, suicide or something more sinister. Conflicting theories immediately appeared in the Russian media, with Tass citing an unnamed law enforcement source that Maganov was taking anti-depressants and killed himself. Baza, an online outlet with links to the police, said the oil executive may have slipped while smoking on a balcony. Russian oil giant Lukoil had big dreams for its US gas stations. The invasion of Ukraine could spell the end. Lukoil confirmed Maganov’s death but said only that he “died after a serious illness”. “Ravil Maganov contributed enormously to the development not only of the company, but also of the entire Russian oil and gas sector,” the company said in a statement posted on its website, which also extended condolences to his family on behalf of “thousands Lukoil employees. .” Maganov’s unexplained fall is at least the sixth fatal incident this year involving top Russian oil and gas executives whose lives ended in sordid or obscure circumstances. In April, the body of a former top manager of gas giant Novatek, Sergey Protosenya, was found in a Spanish villa along with those of his wife and their 18-year-old daughter. Spanish news agency Telecinco reported that police found the mother and daughter in separate rooms with stab wounds. Protosenya was found in the courtyard, where he was allegedly hanged. Spanish media reported at the time that murder-suicide was the main theory of Catalan police in their investigation. Western sanctions are hurting but not yet crushing the Russian economy Novatek, however, seemingly cast doubt that Protosenya could be responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter. “He has established himself as an exceptional person and a wonderful family man,” the company said in a statement. “Unfortunately, there has been speculation in the media about this matter, but we are convinced that this speculation has nothing to do with reality.” Former Gazprombank vice president Vladislav Avayev was found dead in April along with his wife and daughter in their Moscow apartment. A month later, former Lukoil tycoon Alexander Subbotin died of heart failure in the Moscow region after allegedly receiving homeopathic treatment from a shaman who offered his clients injections of toad venom. Lukoil made headlines in March as the only Russian oil producer to call for an end to the war in Ukraine. In a statement issued days after the February 24 invasion, Lukoil “expressed concern over the tragic events in Ukraine” and called for “an immediate cessation of the armed conflict.” Lukoil’s CEO, Vagit Alekperov, resigned at the end of April after being sanctioned by Western countries. Maganov had served as Lukoil’s first executive vice president since 1994 and was appointed in 2020 as the head of its board of directors. His brother, Nail Maganov, is the CEO of another major oil and gas company, Tatneft.
