A top Russian oligarch was found dead by Putin’s spies after mysteriously falling 35 meters from a window of his Moscow home.
Mikhail Rogachev, 64, was vice president of Russian oil giant Yukos, which was forced to close 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 spy chief, and with injuries characteristic of a fall, local media said.
TV channels reported that he lived on the 10th floor and had committed suicide, claiming he had cancer and left a note, which the police are now investigating.
But these reports were vehemently denied by his closest friends and family.
Mikhail Rogachev, 64, a former top manager at the Yukos oil company, which was in conflict with Vladimir Putin, died mysteriously after falling from a window in Moscow.
His body was found in Moscow by an employee of the Russian foreign intelligence agency SVR.
Many prominent Russian figures have died under mysterious circumstances during Putin’s regime.
His relatives insisted there were no signs he was suicidal and that he was in “good spirits” shortly before his death.
Rogachev had a long and successful career in some of the leading companies in post-Soviet Russia.
In 2007, he became deputy CEO 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 series of unexplained deaths of prominent 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 called his death a suicide, but police sources said there was no suicide note and there were no CCTV cameras in the section of the building where Maganov fell.
He was then replaced by Vladimir Nekrasov, in October 2023, who died at age 66 of “acute heart failure” in October 2023.
The following month, Russian senator and war supporter Vladimir Lebedev, with close ties to Lukoil, died suddenly in an unexplained “terrible tragedy” at the age of 60.
The Russian tycoon was found hanged in his office bathroom by his boss.
In March, Lukoil vice president Vitaly Robertus, 53, became the latest victim of a deadly curse stalking Lukoil, a major company that props up Putin’s regime.
Then, a prominent judge was found dead after falling from a high-rise building in Moscow.

Anna Tsareva, deputy editor of the pro-Putin newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, was found dead by her father, aged just 35.
Marina Yankina (pictured), 58, was discovered by a passer-by at the entrance to a house on Zamshina Street in St. Petersburg. He is believed to have died after falling from a height of 160 feet.
Earlier this year, Zoya Konovalova (pictured), 48, editor-in-chief of the Russian state television company Kuban, was found with her ex-husband.
Natalia Larina, 50, was known for handling high-profile political and criminal cases, punishing Kremlin traitors.
He had been a criminal judge for more than 15 years and had a reputation for delivering verdicts in cases against opposition political activists.
In December 2023, Vladimir Egorov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, jumped from a third-story window in Moscow to his death.
Egorov, 46, was a wealthy and prominent politician in Tobolsk, an oil-rich region in western Siberia.
His body was found in the patio of his house, according to reports.
Just a few weeks earlier, the deputy editor of Putin’s favorite propaganda newspaper was found dead at just 35 years old.
The body of Anna Tsareva, 35, was discovered in her home on Bolshoy Tishinsky Street in the capital, 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 key figure in financing Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine, also died after falling from a height of 50 meters in St. Petersburg.
She was head of the Ministry of Defense’s financial support department for the Western Military District, which is closely involved in the dictator’s invasion.
Earlier this year, the editor-in-chief of the warmonger’s state television empire was also discovered dead after 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.
