Maganov (Ravil')

Ravil Maganov (1954-2022) was a prominent Russian businessman and oil executive. He was best known for his long tenure at Lukoil, one of Russia's largest oil companies. Maganov joined Lukoil shortly after its formation in 1991 and played a crucial role in the company's development and expansion. He held various senior positions within the company, eventually becoming its Chairman. Under his leadership, Lukoil became a significant player in the global energy market.Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in 2022, Lukoil's board of directors, led by Maganov, issued a statement calling for a swift end to the conflict, describing it as a "tragedy" and expressing sympathy for its victims. On September 1, 2022, Maganov allegedly "died after falling from a sixth-floor window at the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital." Some media outlets have speculated that his death may be connected to other mysterious deaths of Russian businessmen from oil and gas industries in 2022. [ChatGPT, edited]
