Ravil Maganov was given a lifetime achievement award by President Vladimir Putin in 2019
The Chairman of Russia's Lukoil oil giant, Ravil Maganov, has died after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, reports say.
Maganov, 67, was being treated at the city's Central Clinical Hospital and died from his injuries, sources told Russian media.
He is the latest of a number of high-profile business executives to die in mysterious circumstances.
Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, Lukoil called for the war to end.
Early in March, the Lukoil board called for the conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible, expressing its sympathy to the victims of this tragedy.
Ravil Maganov took over as chairman of Lukoil's board two years ago. He began working for the private oil company in 1993.
In May a former senior manager at Lukoil, Alexander Subbotin, reportedly died also under unusual circumstances.
OpinionI would relate this article to the Social organization topic, the news shows us how are social relationships in Russia and they are not good. What shocked me the most while reading the article was how little we know. We just know that some important chairman died, that's all, and most likely he was killed for his opinion on the invasion of Ukraine. I believe he is not the only one who has died for these reasons, and I also believe that the media only posts about famous people that have died, not some regular worker who said something to the wrong person and ended up killed misteriously. I hope this Russia-Ukraine conflict ends really soon and everything can be back to "normal".
