最新报道:Russian businessman and Putin associate Yuri Starovoit has died just hours after being dismissed from his position as head of the state-run United Shipbuilding Corporation. The 68-year-old's sudden death was announced by the corporation without disclosing the cause. Starovoit had led the shipbuilding giant since 2020 and previously served as deputy governor of St. Petersburg. His dismissal came amid reports of financial irregularities at the corporation, which builds warships for Russia's navy. The timing of his death has raised questions, though authorities have not indicated any foul play. Starovoit was considered part of Putin's inner circle in St. Petersburg during the 1990s.
