Ravil Maganov, chairman of the national oil company Lukoil, fell from a Kremlin Hospital window under suspicious circumstances, according to reports: CCTV cameras had been "turned off for repairs", Putin was visiting the hospital the same day, and associates did not believe he was suicidal.

Seit Anfang 2022 kam es unter einigen Quellen vermuteten verdächtigen Umständen zu mehreren ungewöhnlichen Todesfällen russischer Geschäftsleute oder hoher Beamter, manchmal auch ihrer Familienangehörigen.[1][2][3][4]

Analyse Bearbeiten

Am 3. Juni 2022 beschrieb der niederländische Nachrichtensender NOS das Phänomen als „eine düstere Serie russischer Milliardäre, viele davon aus der Öl- und Gasindustrie, die seit Anfang dieses Jahres unter ungewöhnlichen Umständen tot aufgefunden wurden. Das erste Mal ereignete sich am 30. Januar, als …“ Der 60-jährige Leonid Schulman, Transportchef des russischen Energieriesen Gazprom, wurde tot im Badezimmer seines Landhauses in der Region Leningrad aufgefunden. Neben seiner Leiche lag ein Abschiedsbrief.[4] Am 6. Juli 2022 beschrieb CNN Portugal die Gruppe als „Millionäre mit direkten oder indirekten Verbindungen zum Kreml, die seit Jahresbeginn in einem mysteriösen Szenario tot aufgefunden wurden“.[5] Es verwies auf eine frühere Untersuchung von USA Today, die zu dem Schluss kam, dass „38 russische Geschäftsleute und Oligarchen in der Nähe des Kremls zwischen 2014 und 2017 unter mysteriösen oder verdächtigen Umständen starben“.[5] Im Dezember 2022 bezeichnete The Atlantic das Phänomen als „Sudden Russian Death Syndrome“, möglicherweise in Anspielung auf das Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.[6] oder SADS (Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome).[7]

Some commentators ruled out suicides or poor health.[8] Other commentators, including Fiona Hill and Mark Galeotti, are skeptical of such conspiracies.[8] They point out the deaths are not necessarily all connected, and that it is far more likely some really are suicides, and some could be killings by competing influential clans to wipe out competitors without a centralized Kremlin effort. The suicide rate in Russia is the third-highest in the world,[8] and similar trends have been noted in 2020 about doctors who have treated COVID-19 patients falling from high windows.[8] Suicides could be further increased especially in the Russian business community due to substantial pressure from the war in Ukraine and international sanctions.[8]

Calls for further investigations Bearbeiten

Friends and families of the deceased Russian businessmen generally found it "unthinkable" that they killed themselves – and in some cases also their wives and children – and have demanded an independent investigation into the mysterious deaths.[4] , the Ukrainian-born ex-vice-chairman of Gazprombank, who left Russia during the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and joined the Freedom of Russia Legion,[9][10] said in an interview with The Insider that he thought that his former colleague Vladislav Avayev's alleged murder of his family and subsequent suicide had been staged: "Why? That is difficult to say. Perhaps he knew something and posed some kind of danger."[4][11] Likewise, Sergey Protosenya's son, who was not in Spain when his parents and sister were found dead in Lloret de Mar, stated his father was not the perpetrator ("my father is not a murderer"), but that his parents and sister were murdered by someone else.[4] Protosenya was the former CEO of gas giant Novatek, which published a statement saying he was "a real family man", and called on the Spanish authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation.[4]

Businessman and critic of the Russian federal government Bill Browder has opined that Putin is personally ordering executions of influential business leaders in critical sectors whom he feels will not be yes-men and intimidates their successors with threats of death or violence.[12] In Russian mokroye delo or “wet work” is the name given to the business of assassination with people told to commit suicide or they and their families will receive a visitation.[6]

According to an investigative report by Novaya Gazeta, some of the deaths may be connected to large scale accounting fraud by Gazprom executives, who may have funneled money to a network of businesses owned by friends and family members with ties to the FSB and Russian military.[13]
