The body of the top manager was discovered under the windows of an employee of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation – the personal driver and assistant of the former first deputy director of the SVR Sergei Vinokurov.
Former deputy director of Norilsk Nickel and former vice president for corporate management of YUKOS EP, Mikhail Rogachev, died in Moscow. The body of a 64-year-old top manager was found under the windows of his house on Protopopovsky Lane – he lives in an apartment on the 10th floor, writes RosSMI.
Law enforcement agencies consider suicide the primary version. Russian media sources reported that Rogachev allegedly “suffered from cancer.”
While other sources in Rogachev’s close circle “categorically denied” the presence of cancer. According to them, in recent years he has had health problems due to unsuccessful surgery on the cervical vertebrae and jaw, but they are not critical. Sources say that Rogachev has no requirements for suicide: in the morning he had breakfast with his loved ones, was in a normal mood, dismantled the garage, and then disappeared.

Rogachev’s wife found the papers scattered on the floor. One part was printed in advance – where the man described his medical history and accused the doctor of an improper operation, and the other was written by hand. The pro-Kremlin telegram channel Mash published its contents. In the text, Rogachev says goodbye to his wife and says that there is nothing he can do because of “wild pain” and only the “instinct of self-preservation” keeps him here.
From 1996 to 2007, Rogachev held various positions at YUKOS, and later became the deputy general director of the mining and metallurgical company Norilsk Nickel. From 2011 to 2015, Rogachev was chairman of the Russian Foundation for Technological Development.
In total, the wave of mysterious deaths that has engulfed Russia’s oil and gas industry since the outbreak of war in Ukraine has claimed the lives of at least 12 senior company executives.
As we have already written, the FSB announced the “prevention of a series of sabotage and attacks on security forces” in Ingushetia. The Russian special service also boasted of the “detention of seven people” in the cities of Magas and Nazran.
