Suicide or State Secret? Another Russian Official Dies Hours After Putin Fired Him

String of Kremlin deaths sparks fear of elite purge as questions swirl over ‘suicides’ and cover-ups.

Mysterious Deaths a Sign of Putin’s Purge?

Tensions are boiling over in Moscow as yet another top Russian official is found dead under suspicious circumstances.

With a string of sudden “suicides” and unexplained falls, insiders fear the Kremlin is in the grips of a deadly purge.

Russia’s Transport Minister Found Dead After Sudden Dismissal

Roman Starovoy, Russia’s Transport Minister, was found dead in his car, just hours after being dismissed by Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin says suicide, but timing and inconsistencies around his death have fueled speculation of foul play.

A Second Death, Just Hours Later

In a shocking twist, another Transport Ministry official collapsed and died just moments after learning of Starovoy’s demise.

Andrey Korneichuk, head of land relations, was pronounced dead at his desk. The official cause? “Suspected heart failure.”

Oil Exec Plunges to Death From Moscow Penthouse

Just days earlier, Andrey Badalov, vice-president of Russia’s state pipeline giant Transneft, reportedly fell from his penthouse window.

Authorities called it an accident. Observers aren’t so sure, especially given his high-profile energy ties.

The Pattern Nobody Can Ignore

These deaths follow a disturbing trend. Since 2022, at least three Gazprom executives have turned up dead, each supposedly leaving behind a suicide note.

But the public and many within Russia are beginning to question that narrative.

“Unexplained” Is the New Normal

From “sudden illness” to “accidental falls,” the explanations for these high-level deaths sound increasingly familiar.

Critics say these vague causes are designed to obscure what may be a deliberate effort to silence dissent or tie up loose ends.

Kremlin Timeline Doesn’t Add Up

The Kremlin claims Starovoy died Monday, but insiders told Forbes Russia he likely passed away over the weekend.

Why the delay? That discrepancy only deepens suspicions of political theater or cover-up.

Panic Grips the Kremlin Inner Circle

According to reports, Putin has begun purging his own administration in response to mounting pressure from military failures and economic woes.

Officials are reportedly terrified and with good reason.
