Moscow in the spotlight
The deaths of Maganov and Subbotin join those that have been taking place since the beginning of the “special military operation” that Vladimir Putin began in Ukrainian territory on February 24. The first, between rumors of war, occurred on January 30. Leonid Shulman, manager of Gazprom, was found dead in a bathroom in Leningrad. He supposedly cut his wrists.
A Alexander Tyulyakov, who also worked for the Russian energy giant, was found dead in a country house near St. Petersburg on February 25 along with a suicide note.

A Michael WatfordUkrainian-born oligarch by the name of Mikhail Tolstosheya, He was found dead at his home in Surrey County, UK, on February 28. According to police reports, a gardener found him hanged in the garage of his house.
the billionaire Vasily Melnikov, who worked for the MedStorm medical company, was found dead in his luxury apartment in Nizhny Novgorod. They not only found him, but also his wife and his two children between 10 and 4 years old. Russian newspapers reported that he killed his family before taking his own life.
The list goes on and on. Vladislav Avaev he knew too much about the Russian president, as they say in Gazprom, where he worked, that he had been an important member of the Putin administration. Avayev was in Moscow with his pregnant wife and his 13-year-old daughter when he killed himself and the woman and girl were found dead.
Sergey Protosenya he was found dead on April 19. He worked at the Novatek gas company. According to official information, he stabbed his wife and his son to death before hanging himself in Lloret de Mar.
Not all, however, have been members of major gas companies. There have also been two deaths related to the popular social network VK, the Russian Facebook. Vladimir Gabrieliandeputy general director of VKontakte, and its head of acquisitions, Sergey Merzlyakov, died near the village of Shoyna, on the northwest coast of Russia. Both died in a car accident during an expedition.
The list is long, increasingly, and curiously very focused on people related to the energy world, so necessary for Putin to counteract the restrictions and sanctions imposed by the West and also related to social networks, where the Kremlin maintains censorship informative with an iron fist. Probably no one will be able to link these deaths with the FSB just as the links of so many others could not be proven, but suspicions towards Putin and his spies are inevitable.
