Russian businessman close to Putin mysteriously dies ‘after falling from window in Moscow’: Death comes days after an official found dead ‘under very strange circumstances’

A top Russian oligarch has been found dead by Putin’s spies after mysteriously falling 35 meters from a window of his Moscow home.

Mikhail Rogachev, 64, was the vice president of Russian oil giant Yukos, which was forced into bankruptcy for turning against tyrannical President Vladimir Putin.

The former manager was found at the entrance to his building by an SVR employee linked to a former Russian spymaster, with injuries consistent with a dive, local media said.

TV stations reported that he lived on the tenth floor and that it was a suicide. They claimed he had cancer and left a note – which police are now investigating.

But these reports were vehemently denied by his close friends and family members.

His relatives insisted there were no signs he was suicidal and that he had been in “good spirits” shortly before his death.

Rogachev had a long and successful career at some of the leading companies in post-Soviet Russia.

In 2007, he became deputy general manager of Vladimir Potanin’s Norilsk Nickel, with Potanin now Russia’s richest man, who has also been sanctioned by Britain as part of Putin’s “inner circle.”

Rogachev now joins a long line of unexplained deaths of leading Russian figures under mysterious circumstances.

Lukoil tycoon Ravil Maganov, 67, fell from a window of Moscow’s elite Central Clinical Hospital, also known as the Kremlin Clinic, in September 2022.

Russian state media quickly said his death was a suicide, but law enforcement sources said there was no suicide note and no CCTV cameras on the part of the building where Maganov fell.

He was then replaced in October 2023 by Vladimir Nekrasov, who died of ‘acute heart failure’ in October 2023 at the age of 66.

The following month, Russian senator and war supporter Vladimir Lebedev, with close ties to Lukoil, died suddenly at the age of 60 in an unexplained “terrible tragedy.”

The Russian magnate was found hanged in his office toilet by his boss.

In March, 53-year-old Lukoil vice president Vitaly Robertus became the latest victim of a death curse that haunted Lukoil, a leading company backing Putin’s regime.

Then a prominent female judge was found dead after falling from a Moscow high-rise.

Natalia Larina, 50, was infamous for handling high-profile political and criminal cases, punishing traitors to the Kremlin.

She had been a criminal judge for more than fifteen years and had a reputation for ruling in cases against opposition political activists.

In December 2023, Vladimir Egorov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, plunged to his death from a third-floor window in Moscow.

The 46-year-old Egorov was a wealthy and prominent politician in oil-rich Tobolsk in Western Siberia.

According to reports, his corpse was found in the garden of his house.

A few weeks earlier, the deputy editor of Putin’s favorite propaganda newspaper was found dead, aged just 35.

The body of Anna Tsareva, 35, was discovered in her home in the capital’s Bolshoy Tishinsky Lane – almost a year after the death of her boss Vladimir Sungorkin, 68.

In February of the same year, Marina Yankina, 58, a senior Russian defense official and a key figure in financing Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine, also fell 50 meters and died in St. Petersburg.

She was head of the Ministry of Defense’s financial support department for the Western Military District, which is deeply involved in the dictator’s invasion.

Earlier this year, the editor-in-chief of the warmonger’s state television empire was also found lifeless after a suspected poisoning.

Zoya Konovalova, 48, who ran a channel operating near the front lines of Mad Vlad’s illegal war, was found with her ex-husband.
