It's reported that a pistol was found next to him and that he shot himself. Before that, he had been removed from his position as minister.

  2. Windows’ kill/death ratio is wild.

    Should join an eSports team.

  5. formerly governor of kursk region

    formerly minister of transport

    formerly alive

    current position – prostrate in a morgue

  7. Tip of the day: Working in the Russian government is bad for your health

  8. officials say he ran into a 9mm bullet at the speed of sound

  10. If my math is correct, that’s now 78 likely Putin ordered assasinations of politicians or businessmen since 2022. All mysterious deaths such as falling out of windows, poisonings and suicides. There’s a wiki page for it as well.

  11. thanks for its patriotism

    russians killing russians is normal

  12. What do you bet they threatened to send him to the front and then he made sure it didn’t happen. I am just amazed at how these “leaders” are really just paid enforcers for the king and when the king feels threatened in any way he kills those challengers around him. Just a pitiful society.

  14. They had to mix it up a bit from all the Putin Swan Drives lately.

  17. Forced into retirement. He should stay on the ground floor for the next 6 months

  18. I’d believe it if it didn’t come from Russia. I’m sure the “investigation” was very thorough and left no stone unturned.

  20. The windows were single pane and not breakable so this guy committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head

  22. If you want to make a billion dollars, open a store in Russia that sells window locks.

  23. From Wikipedia, his successor was about to testify against him. I would not be surprised if this was about money for either home defense OR Kursk oblast IDPs compensation getting embezzled (and him not passing cuts upstairs of course)

    “On 7 July 2025, Starovoyt was dismissed by Russian President Vladimir Putin with the wording “for loss of trust.” A few hours after his resignation, Starovoyt committed suicide in his car in Malevich Park [ru], near the village of Razdory [ru], Odintsovo District, Moscow Oblast. According to Russian news outlets, Starovoyt may have committed suicide due to the threat of a criminal case of large-scale fraud being opened against him after Alexei Smirnov, his successor as governor of Kursk Oblast, who was fired in December 2024 and arrested in April 2025, allegedly testified against him. It is reported that Starovoit shot himself with a award pistol given to him by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”

    Crooks all the way down…
