And with almost all victims, the way that happened is very suspicious. This is no different with the last victim: Pavel Antov (66), a wealthy sausage manufacturer.
Antov was found dead at an Indian hotel in the city of Odisha where he had just celebrated his 66th birthday. According to Russian media, the wealthy owner of a meat processing plant fell out of his hotel room window on Sunday. A remarkable story, especially when you know that Vladimir Budanov, a friend of Antov, lost his life two days earlier during the same trip. He reportedly suffered a stroke.
According to Vivekananda Sharma, superintendent of the Odesha police, Antov was depressed by the death of his friend and committed suicide. The Russian consul in Kolkata told the Tass news agency that police see "no criminal elements" in these tragic events.
The death of millionaire Antov and his companion need not come as a complete surprise. They are the umpteenth in the row of Russian prominent people who have died in recent months. The causes of death that are given are often vague or sometimes simply very absurd. It is suspected that the Russians themselves are behind the many victims. The most common theory is that many top men were killed for criticizing the war.
That could also have been the case with Antov, who was active as a local politician in the city of Vladimir. In June, a WhatsApp message from him leaked in which he appeared to condemn a missile attack on Kiev. "It is extremely difficult to call all this anything other than terrorism," he wrote. Although Antov later denied that the message came from him and professed himself extensively as a fan of Putin, the damage was probably already done by then.
