Ravil Maganov, 67, chief executive of Russian private oil giant Lukoil \u2014 and a Ukraine war opponent \u2014 died in a six-story plunge from a Moscow hospital window. The death Thursday was reported as a suicide by Russian state media, which noted the oil company\u2019s board chairman had been hospitalized for a heart attack and was taking anti-depressants. In a statement, Lukoil said Maganov died following a \u201clong illness,\u201d according to the English-language Moscow Times. But two people who knew the businessman well told Reuters it was highly unlikely Maganov took his own life. The oil titan is one of several Russian energy execs to die suddenly and under murky circumstances since the war in Ukraine began. Another top Lukoil manager, Alexander Subbotin, was found dead in the basement of a house outside Moscow in May \u2014 the same month Vladislav Avayev, a former executive at Gazprombank, was discovered fatally shot beside his wife and daughter. A month prior, Sergei Protosenya \u2014 a former honcho at liquefied natural gas producer Novatek \u2014 was found dead beside his wife and daughter in Spain. Russian authorities claim he beat the pair to death with an ax before hanging himself. Spanish media reported no suicide note and no bloodstains on his body. Alexander Tyulakov, a Gazprom exec, was found dead in his garage the day after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Lukoil, where Maganov had worked since 1993 \u2014 rising with the company as it grew out of the collapse of the Soviet Union \u2014 was unusual among the Russian oligarch class for consistently criticizing the war in Ukraine. In a March 3 statement, the Lukoil board called the invasion of Ukraine \u201ctragic\u201d and called for negotiations to bring about the \u201csoonest possible end to armed conflict.\u201d With Post wires.
