Photograph: Mikhail Klimentyev/Sputnik/AFP/Getty Images Andrew Roth in Moscow Thu 1 Sep 2022 07.08 EDT A senior Russian oil executive has died after falling from the window of a Moscow hospital, months after his company criticised the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ravil Maganov, the chair of the board of directors of Lukoil, Russia’s largest private oil company, “fell from a window at Central clinical hospital”, the Interfax news agency wrote on Thursday, citing a source. “He died from injuries sustained.” Lukoil said Maganov had “passed away following a severe illness”. The company did not say what Maganov was being treated for. It was not immediately clear whether his death was an accident, a suicide, or caused by foul play. Russian state media agencies citing an unnamed source reported that Maganov had been admitted to the hospital with a heart condition and had been on antidepressants. Baza, a Russian news site with close ties to the police, suggested he may have slipped from a balcony while smoking and that no CCTV was available because cameras had been turned off for repairs. Russian oil production falls less than 3% as sanctions have ‘limited’ effect Meanwhile, the state-run news agency Tass claimed on Thursday that Maganov had taken his own life, citing a source in Russia’s security services who called Maganov’s death a “suicide”. That version of events could not immediately be verified by the Guardian. Half a dozen businesspeople with ties to the Russian energy industry have died in apparent suicides or in mysterious circumstances since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. None of the deaths have been classified as murders. Maganov’s death has attracted scrutiny because Lukoil was rare among Russian energy companies in criticising the invasion of Ukraine, publicly calling for a ceasefire just one week after Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of Moscow’s “special military operation”. “Calling for the soonest termination of the armed conflict, we express our sincere empathy for all victims who are affected by this tragedy,” the board of directors of Lukoil said. “We strongly support a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy.” Maganov was a prominent member of the Russian business elite. He was a close associate of one of Lukoil’s founders, Vagit Alekperov, a former Soviet oil minister who resigned from his position as CEO shortly after the UK and EU imposed sanctions on him.

That was very good. Exactly what I expected to be going on in the PNAC, Rand Corporation planning for conquering Russia and keeping the Hunter and DementiaJoe10%/Pelosi et al bribery and corruption and megalomania cash flow gushing. Peculiarly, Americans go on voting for more of the same, chanting USA! USA! USA! Even if the election was stolen, the voting was so close that Americans give democracy a bad name. It is not clear that democracy as commonly enacted these days is in fact the best means of governing. VVVs are of course the necessary and sufficient conditions for success, whether enacted by King, Emperor, Democracy, or military ruler. Maybe VVVs are called Confucian values in China. I should ask Google what Confucian values are. Maybe that's why China is doing okay in recent decades, compared with Mao's Maelstrom. Mqurice 5 minutes later = now I'm a world expert on Confucianism. Sure enough, Confucius figured it out too.
