The news came from the tank factory where he worked, the Uralvagonzavod machine-building company: the largest tank manufacturer in the world.

The general’s name was Alexei Maslov, and he was recently working as an international representative. The company did not provide further explanations.

General Maslov, who was commander-in-chief of the Russian Ground Forces from 2004 to 2008, passed away on Christmas Day in a Moscow military hospital, the company said.

Uralvagonzavod called him “a distinguished commander who made a valiant journey from platoon commander to commander-in-chief of the ground forces.”

The former military leader, originally from a Russian region bordering Ukraine, had close ties to the country that Russia invaded in February.

General Maslov’s military career began in Soviet Ukraine, where he studied at a high school for military commanders in Kharkiv
Later he was stationed in the Carpathians, on the border with Romania.

After a four-year stint in command of Russian forces, General Maslov was appointed deputy to Dmitry Rogozin, the then-Russian envoy to NATO in Brussels.

A wealthy Russian businessman and United Russia MP, Pavel Antonov, who criticised the war in Ukraine in June, was found dead on Sunday evening after a fall from the third floor of a hotel in Rayagada, in the Indian state of Odisha, while was celebrating his 65th birthday.

According to local authorities, cited by Tass, Antov committed suicide because he was depressed by the death two days earlier, apparently of a heart attack, of a Russian friend, Vladimir Budanov, who was part of a group of four tourists who arrived in the hotel a few days before.

According to the New Indian Express, Antov was “visibly upset” after attending Budanov’s funeral.
