Putin ally’s daughter found dead in her Moscow apartment after ‘feeling unwell’

The glamorous daughter of a Putin ally was found dead in her Moscow apartment after “feeling unwell”.

Natalia Bochkareva, 44, the daughter of former Putin ally Vasily Bochkarev, was found dead in her apartment in Moscow’s Presnensky district on July 11.

The concierge at his apartment called the police to report that he had stopped opening the door.

But when the police went to the property and forced open the front door, they discovered her dead body.

He is the latest in a long line of public figures to suddenly fall ill and die in Russia.

The concierge at his apartment called the police to report that he had stopped opening the door.

But when the police went to the property and forced open the front door, they discovered her dead body.

There were no signs of a violent death, according to preliminary reports. She was the daughter of the late Bochkarev, who ruled Penza oblast from 1998 to 2015.

The 67-year-old, who belonged to Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party, died of lung cancer a year after leaving office.

Mrs. Bochkareva managed the family wood processing and bakery businesses after her father’s death.

But two years ago, he made headlines after falling victim to a scam when he sent a self-styled fortune teller RUB 16 million (GBP 136,000) to remove a curse.

However, after receiving the money, the fortune teller had broken all contact with Natalia and had not fulfilled her part of the agreement.

Russia has been plagued by a spate of “suspicious” deaths, many related to the energy sector, since tensions rose ahead of Putin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Former Prime Minister Magomed Abdulayev, 61, (pictured) was hospitalized but died of serious injuries in the Caspian Sea city of Makhachkala after being struck by a car.

In January, 61-year-old Magomed Abdulayev, close to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, was struck by a car and died of serious injuries in Makhachkala on the Caspian Sea.

Ukraine immediately suggested that this was the latest in a string of Russian deaths in the past year dominated by Vladimir Putin’s war.

The Pravda Geraschenko Telegram channel, run by Ukrainian official Anton Geraschenko, published: “Another mysterious death of a Russian official.

‘A car ran over the former Prime Minister of Dagestan in Makhachkala, killing him.

“Russian media report that Magomed Abdulayev, 61, was the victim of a car crash when he crossed the road in the wrong place.”

Wealthy politician Nikolay Petrunin, also known as Russia’s ‘Gas Wonderkid’, was just 47 years old and had been in a coma for a month when he died in October last year.

The billionaire father of three, a former top executive in the gas industry, has been reported to have died from complications related to severe covid.

He was vice-chairman of the powerful energy committee of the Russian parliament and a Putin loyalist and “political protege.”

His businesses built gas pipelines for major Russian energy operators and he had ties to the Kremlin’s gas giant Gazprom, which now deprives the West of Russian supplies because of the war, and Rosneft. He declared an annual salary of up to £1.75 million.

And on September 1 of last year, oil tycoon Ravil Maganov, 67, fell to his death from the sixth-floor window of a Moscow hospital.

One report says that he was ‘beaten’ before being ‘thrown out of a window’, but this was not officially confirmed.
