Alexandre Tiounine, dirigeant d’une entreprise fournissant des matériaux pour les drones russes, retrouvé mort au bord d’une route

In the suburbs of Moscow, the body of Alexander Tyunin, 50, general director of NPK Khimprominzhiniring, a subsidiary of the state-owned nuclear giant Rosatom, was discovered near his car on the side of a road near a forest.

Alexander Tyunin, CEO of Russian company JSC NPK Khimprominzhenering, is believed to have committed suicide. His body was found near his car on a road bordering a forest in the Moscow region, emergency services told the Russian state news agency TASS.

"The body of Alexander Tyunin was found near his car on a road bordering a forest in the Moscow region. Initial findings suggest suicide," a source told the Moscow-based agency.

Next to the body of the director of this subsidiary of the state-owned nuclear giant Rosatom, a hunting rifle and a handwritten note were found, according to the Russian agency.

According to the Moscow Times, another Russian media outlet but one that the authorities have described as an "undesirable organization," the letter stated that Alexander Tyunin had decided to end his life after five years of increasing depression, which he described as "worsening year by year." Russian state media, such as TASS, were quick to label the case a suicide.

Massacre among Russian leaders

The death of this new leader adds to a growing and disturbing list of "unexplained " deaths among top executives in Russia's energy, nuclear, and industrial sectors since the start of the war against Ukraine.

Tyunin had headed Khimprominzhiniring since April 2016, overseeing the production of carbon composites, particularly for aviation. The company is contributing to Russia's war effort in Ukraine, particularly in the development of drones in the War 2.0 being waged by the warring parties. The company was subsequently integrated into Umatex, a Rosatom division specializing in advanced materials, which was hit by US sanctions in February 2023.

According to numerous Western investigative sources, Rosatom's governance is entirely subservient to Putin, who uses it as a geopolitical weapon to penetrate foreign markets and depend on its fuel supply and power plant management services.

Tyunin is now the 20th senior Russian official to die in mysterious circumstances since February 2022. On September 8, authorities discovered the decapitated body of Alexei Sinitsyn , a mining and fertilizer executive, in the Kaliningrad region. In August, the sudden deaths of Dmitry Osipov, chairman of Uralkali, and Mikhail Kenin, founder of construction giant Samolet, also raised questions in the West.

    C'est vrai et je suis contre. Mais on a marché aussi pour libérer un méga-menteur, qui je suis d'accord, n'a violé personne. Mais méga-menteur quand même et responsable de la mort de plusieurs jeunes senegalais.
