Second Russian Defense Sector Bigwig Dies in Two Days
The former commander-in-chief of Russia’s ground forces died in a military hospital earlier this week—the second bigwig in the country’s military industrial complex to die in just two days.
They are just the latest senior Russia military or political elites to drop dead unexpectedly in recent months.
Alexei Maslov, a retired army general, was serving as a special representative of military-technical cooperation for Uralvagonzavod, Russia’s largest tank manufacturer, when he died “unexpectedly” last Saturday, the company announced in a statement.
