Russian Politician from Putin’s Party Found Dead
Russian politician Vladimir Egorov, a member of the United Russia party, was discovered dead in a courtyard outside his home at the age of 46. The Tobolsk City Duma Deputy was reportedly found with no “external signs of criminal death,” according to local media reports.
The circumstances surrounding Egorov’s death remain unclear, with investigators still conducting an autopsy to confirm the cause of death. The Tobolsk City Duma published an obituary stating that Egorov died “as a result of an accident.” Egorov was also praised by the Duma for his support of military personnel and active participation in the social and political life of the city.
Egorov’s death adds to a list of prominent Russians who have died in recent months under unclear circumstances. Among them is Ravil Maganov, chairman of Lukoil, who fell out of a hospital window in Moscow and Pavel Antov, a Russian sausage magnate and lawmaker, who died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in India.
The string of deaths has raised concerns and speculation about potential foul play or political motives. The death of Pyotr Kucherenko, Russian Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education, who fell ill on a plane with a Russian delegation returning from Cuba, was also met with skepticism by a journalist who stated that Kucherenko had expressed fear for his own safety.
The deaths have sparked questions about the safety and wellbeing of Russian elites and their potential connections to the government. For now, Egorov’s death adds to a growing list of Russian elites who have died under unclear circumstances, leaving many to wonder about the true circumstances surrounding these tragic events.
