Once again, the Russian oil company Lukoil has to report the death of a top manager. According to the company, CEO Vladimir Nekrasov died of acute heart failure. Last year, two executives died under strange circumstances.
The Russian oil company Lukoil has now also lost his successor after the fatal defenestration of its CEO last year. The company in Moscow announced that 66-year-old Vladimir Nekrasov died of acute heart failure. Nekrasov had worked at the company for decades. He was appointed last year after then-CEO Rawil Maganov died after falling from the window of a Moscow hospital.
The police launched an investigation after Maganow’s death, and suicide was considered the most likely cause at the time. Maganow was diagnosed with depression in addition to heart problems in the hospital, it was said. Lukoil itself only announced on September 1, 2022 that Maganow had “passed away” after a serious illness. It was not the first death among Russia’s top managers since the outbreak of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
Before Maganov, according to media reports, Lukoil manager Alexander Subbotin died in May, allegedly during occult treatment for alcohol addiction. Since last year, several managers of Russian companies have been found dead. It is said that the oil manager visited a shaman couple for “hangover treatment” after drinking excessive alcohol. In their apartment north of Moscow, the shamans, among other things, cut his skin and dripped toad poison into the wounds. When the billionaire was not feeling well, the couple laid him to rest in the basement of the house and found him dead a short time later.
