Sources: Roman Starovoit, who was dismissed today from his post as head of the Ministry of Transport, was found without signs of life in the Moscow region

Several sources of information are sharing data that Roman Starovoit was found dead today in the Moscow region. According to the latest information, his body was found in the city of Odintsovo, in his house. According to other information - in his personal car, in the parking lot of one of the parks.

In particular, this kind of information is published on the information portal REN-TV.

Telegram channel 112 Citing his own sources, he writes that Starovoit committed suicide.

As already reported in one of today's news According to the Military Review, Roman Starovoit was dismissed from his post as head of the Ministry of Transport by decree of the President of Russia. However, the presidential decree did not contain the wording "due to loss of confidence."

A number of experts associate this dismissal with Starovoit's activities as governor of the Kursk region. Let us recall that Starovoit's replacement in this post (the post of Kursk governor) - Alexey Smirnov - is under investigation. He is suspected of committing thefts during the construction of fortifications in the Kursk border area. At the time of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion of the region, Alexey Smirnov had held the post of acting governor for less than 3 months.

As of 16:00, there is no official confirmation of the information about Roman Starovoit’s death.

Statement by the official representative of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation from 16:20:

Today in the Odintsovo urban district, the body of the former Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Roman Vladimirovich Starovoit was found with a gunshot wound in his personal car. The circumstances of the incident are being established.

          People like this won't shoot.

          . Former First Deputy Head of the Russian National Guard Viktor Strigunov has been arrested and placed in the Lefortovo pretrial detention center. According to preliminary data, the criminal case is related to embezzlement during the construction of a military training ground near Novosibirsk. The Colonel General is charged with bribery and abuse of office. Strigunov headed the Siberian District of the Russian National Guard in 2016, became the first deputy director of the department in 2021, and was dismissed from his post in 2023.

            But accidents with top managers, that's an interesting phenomenon. Over the past 4 years, at least 27 top managers have died in Russia

            Falls from windows, suicides, heart attacks and family tragedies have given rise in the West to the term “sudden Russian death syndrome,” first mentioned by The Atlantic in December 2022.

          If you personally did not abuse your official position for selfish purposes, you personally have nothing to be ashamed of. Let them be ashamed. Although usually, by the time you climb so high, the place that you are ashamed of becomes filled with fat and stops functioning.

      hi The Kingdom of Heaven according to our Orthodox custom, if this is true.
      Somehow everything turns out very logical and coherent, as Sherlock Holmes would say.
      They want to convince us that the greater part of the defense and the inaccessibility of the enemy to a breakthrough and penetration deep into the territory of the state is maintained only on fortifications buildings and scattered contingent of border guards along the border, without heavy weapons and other advantages that existed in the USSR? request

          No one wants to convince about "only two", there is enough additional information. Here is the message from December 21, 2024:
          In Kursk, local top manager Vladimir Lukin has been taken into custody. He is suspected of "misappropriating" millions of rubles allocated for the construction of fortifications on the border with Ukraine.
          In early December, Lukin's deputy Igor Grabin was also sent to pretrial detention in connection with the embezzlement case. According to investigators, in 2023 he signed a contract and paid for the construction of fortifications in the border area.

          hi The sad thing is that following the series of events after the 2023 march and the tragic death of Utkin and Prigozhin, there is an avalanche of cases in the Ministry of Defense and other departments.
          And the events of August 2024 in the Kursk region are, as it were, distracted from the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense, focusing more attention on the corruption of civilian officials and undesirables, like General Popov.

        Ask young guys who have served in the military in recent years.
        All the guys I knew, after six months of service in the unit, were sent almost all at once to months-long “exercises” in the border regions of Russia or simply to serve out their service in units in these regions.
        Conscripts are not sent to the ZBD, but no one has forbidden them from setting their duty station so that they actually serve in the required positional areas.
        In fact, they continue to serve as before, but if anything happens, they are already where they need to be.

          Starovoit has a good roof in the presidential administration and the government (read Kiriyenko, since Starovoit is a graduate of his project, the “school of governors”)

          His career seemed to be going well, but someone needed him as a governor.
          He went through "school", then was assigned to be a governor, then SVO was friends with Prigozhin (who for some reason made caches with weapons in the Kursk region). He sawed off quite a bit on constructions, was removed from the governorship in time (although he was supposed to sit in Kursk until September 2024), just before the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
          He left his buddy Smirnov in charge.
          Who was called to account for embezzlement.
          In the photo, Vladlenich, exactly 7 days after the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered, rushed to Kursk for some reason. He was officially interested in how the construction of the second stage of the Kursk NPP was going. I was wondering, couldn't it have been possible to just contact him by phone?

        They say that there are almost no questions about Belgorod and Bryansk.
        They immediately woke up and started construction with the assistance of "specialists of the private sector of the military economy", long before the Kursk region. Even taking into account that in Bryansk our troops on the border have been creating a strip of "dead zone" since 2023, warning in advance of the possibility of a breakthrough there, and Belgorod is already close to the SVO zone and it is easier to transfer reinforcements there.
        What were they thinking in Kursk region, knowing that they had a large city Sumy, almost on the border, enemy supply lines, right on the border, which the enemy would want to move away from these roads and the nuclear power plant in the region - it is not clear. Especially considering how the Ukrainian Armed Forces were diligently rushing into neighboring Belgorod.

      Some very ambiguous news. Everything is unclear.

      There is already official confirmation from a serious source:
      MOSCOW, July 7 — RIA Novosti. Former Transport Minister Roman Starovoit committed suicide in Odintsovo, Moscow Region, emergency services told RIA Novosti.
      "Preliminary, Starovoit committed suicide in Odintsovo near Moscow," the agency's source said.
      At the scene working investigative team.
      Earlier on Monday, Starovoit was dismissed from his post as head of the Ministry of Transport, where he had held the post since May 2024.
      Before that, he headed the Kursk region: from October 11, 2018 to September 16, 2019 - as acting governor, and then - as the head of the region.

          Starovoit divorced his wife in 2021, and they have two children. For at least the last year, the official had been in a relationship with Polina, a graduate of the local medical university. He left the Kursk region with her after his resignation.

      Moreover, the military presents design documentation, must supervise the work, place warehouses with military property and weapons, and as they are ready, troops are deployed in the fortified areas. This also includes the preparation of the so-called "security zones", which civilians definitely cannot do. There was and is nothing like this in the Sudzhan area. According to the report of the Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov to the President on the liberation of the Kursk border area, the words were heard that the paratroopers and marines showed themselves especially well, stopping the advance of the mobile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in early August 2024. Moreover, we are talking about typical "meeting battles". The conclusion is still the same: no fortified areas were planned or built in this direction. Starovoit and Co. are "scapegoats" who were given for slaughter in order to ward off the threat of responsibility from the big guys...

    Shot himself with an award pistol? He is not a serviceman. Why was he awarded a personalized weapon? So that he could shoot himself if the opportunity arose? Again, the dates look strange. Or maybe all governors have a Makar in their safe?

    I must note that for a person "inside" the active army, you have a very wide range of interests, and a lot of free time to share your thoughts.

    I am on the front lines, my education is diverse and of a fairly high level, I bought a starlink, unlike many on LBS I can say with confidence that not a single enemy was harmed - this does not apply to me..

    According to the latest information, his body was found in the city of Odintsovo, in his house. According to other information - in his personal car, in the parking lot of one of the parks.

    beyond the parking lot, as the RBC correspondent said, in the bushes behind a concrete fence...

    Yes, it's very simple. All things fit into one 1-liter backpack. The extra is thrown away, the necessary is bought as needed. There is no armor, mobility is more important.

      Well, yes. More gas - fewer potholes, and brakes were invented by cowards.

      But at the same time, it is not necessary to pour stinking liquid on everything that comes to hand. Using, as you said, "a versatile and fairly high level education" and a Starlink carried with you. On the front lines.

      I repeat - you are being read carefully. Be careful.

    Look at the quality of the government's personnel reserves using Starovoit as an example. These people are synonymous with failure, theft and incompetence. Wasn't it clear what negative selection would lead to?

    Judging by the publications in our media, Starovoit committed suicide either on the 5th or the 7th, either in a car or in the bushes, with an award PM, although he was awarded a Glock, which can be seen in the video on the Internet. But everyone is absolutely sure that it was suicide, yeah.
    If they did help him commit suicide, they did it very clumsily. It seems that the relevant professionals have been assigned to departments engaged in Internet surfing in search of seditious blogs and comments to them in recent years. That is why the main Ukronazis live peacefully - they have no time for them, sedition needs to be looked for on the Internet.
