Another Top Russian Executive Dies Suspiciously \| Newsmax.com It is my understanding that there is no distinction in Russia between the Russian Mafia and the government. To deal with one is to deal with the other. I count eleven Russian oil company executives murdered or dying under suspicious circumstances in the last twelve months.

One of the reasons they are so despised/feared by Russians.
