The body of the former deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Combating Extremism Major General Vladimir Makarov was discovered in the village of Golikovo near Moscow. Law enforcement officials told TASS on Monday that he committed suicide.
“The incident occurred on the morning of February 13. The body of the 72-year-old former deputy head of the Main Directorate for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Major General Vladimir Makarov, was found in a country house in the village of Golikovo near Moscow. It was previously established, that he killed himself,” the source said.
Major General Makarov he was released in January of this year from the position of Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Combating Extremism.
We remind you that on September 1 it was reported about the death of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of “Lukoil” Ravil Maganov , who was reported to have fallen from the window of the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow. Much uncertainty remains surrounding his death.
Since the beginning of this year, extremely sharply the death rate among Russian oligarchs, particularly energy-related millionaires, soared. Not one of them is quite dubious.
None of those who died that year are known to have made critical remarks about the policy of the Kremlin and the invasion of Ukraine, and their names are not part of the sanctions lists of Western countries against Russia.
One of the last cases is with the former top manager of the Russian oil company “Lukoil” Alexander Subotin, who was reported to have died of a heart attack after visiting a Russian voodoo magician. He or his brother, Valery Subotin, were pointed to as possible successors to the founder and company president Vagit Alekperov, who resigned on April 21after Western sanctions were imposed on him.
In April, the former vice president of one of the leading Russian financial institutions in Russia, “Gazprombank”, Vladislav Avaev was found dead in his apartment in Moscow along with his wife and daughter – the official version reads “double murder-suicide”.
Shortly before the start of the invasion of Ukraine, the former executive director of “Gazprom” Alexander Tyulyakov was found hanged in the garage of his apartment building near St. Petersburg.
In late February, days after Russia officially invaded Ukraine, another Russian oligarch – Michael Watford – was found hanged in the garage of his home in Surrey, UK. The 66-year-old Ukrainian-born Russian made his millions as an oil and gas tycoon after the fall of the USSR.
Most seriously reflected in the Russian media, although it does not raise so many questions, was the death of Andrey Krukovski, the 37-year-old director of the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort, near Sochi, who died in a skiing accident. However, the resort he managed is under the aegis of energy – created by Gazprom as part of the preparations for the Winter Olympics organized by Russia in 2014.
