The president of the Russian oil giant Lukoil dies. The second president in a year

Vladimir Nekrasov, chairman of Russia's second largest oil producer Lukoil, has died suddenly at the age of 66 following acute heart failure, the company said on Tuesday.

Lukoil said Nekrasov worked for nearly 50 years in the oil and gas industry. He also served as first vice president of Lukoil and advisor to the company's president. There have been no further comments from the company, the largest Russian private oil company with plants around the world, including in Sicily until a year ago.

T he previous head of Lukoil's board of directors, Ravil Maganov, died in September 2022 after falling from a Moscow hospital window, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

Several Russian businessmen, most of them linked to the energy industry, died suddenly under unclear circumstances in the months after the start of what Moscow calls its special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022.

Unusually among Russian companies, Lukoil has taken a public stand on Moscow's operation in Ukraine. In a statement dated March 3, 2022, the company's board of directors expressed its concern about the “tragic events” in Ukraine and called for an “early end to the armed conflict” through negotiations.

However, Russian tycoons will earn well, but they are very unlucky.
