Former Russian Deputy Justice Minister found dead in his apartment

Russia's former deputy justice minister, Sergei Tropin, has been found dead in his apartment in central Moscow. Russian media reported that the former official's body was found in the bathroom, and that he had apparently drowned.

Sergei Tropin served as deputy justice minister from February 1996 to March 1997 under President Boris Yeltsin, who in May 1996 awarded him the highest rank of State Counselor of Justice, First Class.

In total, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale occupation of Ukraine, more than 20 civil servants have lost their lives in strange circumstances.

In late September 2025, the former chairman of the St. Petersburg Committee for the Development of Transport Infrastructure, Alexander Fedotov, fell from a hotel window at Sheremetyevo Airport. The body of the former deputy chairman of Rosreestr, Boris Avakian, was found at the Armenian consulate in St. Petersburg.

In July 2025, Transport Minister Roman Starovoit committed suicide, and shortly thereafter, his deputy, Andrei Korneichuk, died of a heart attack.

In the first half of 2025, deaths of officials were recorded every month. These include the deputy head of the Vladivostok administration, Konstantin Klyuev, who was found dead in Thailand; Yevgeny Golovaty, deputy head of the "P" department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who committed suicide by gunshot; Vladimir Anayev, deputy head of the Arkhangelsk region administration, who lost his life while playing hockey; and Igor Rozhnev, deputy head of the Krasnoyarsk Federal Penitentiary Service, who committed suicide. /CNA
