Two Russian State Duma deputies with the ruling United Russia party were reported dead on Sunday.

The death of 77-year-old Nikolay Bortsov, who served as a State Duma deputy since 2003, was announced by Igor Artamanov, the governor of the Lipetsk region. He died at his home Lebedyan.

On the same day, State Duma Deputy Dzhasharbek Uzdenov died at the age of 57 after a "serious and prolonged illness," Vladimir Vasilyev, head of the United Russia faction, said.

A number of prominent Russians have died in unexplained or unusual circumstances since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

No cause was given for Bortsov's death. He had previously been hit by sanctions from the United States and other Western countries in connection with Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Newsweek reached out to Russia's Foreign Ministry via email for comment.

Bortsov was one of Russia's wealthiest government employees, with an estimated net worth of $550 million, according to the Latvia-based independent news outlet Meduza. He was included by Forbes in 2021 in a ranking of the country's 100 richest federal workers.

He was sentenced in absentia in Ukraine to 15 years in prison on March 21 alongside 19 other members of the Russian State Duma for voting to recognize Russian-installed authorities in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.

The Security Service of Ukraine said those convicted were: Sergey Altukhov, Andrey Alshevsky, Olga Zanko, Andrey Anikeev, Grigory Anikeev, Valentina Artamonova, Otari Arshba, Alena Arshinova, Timofey Bazhenov, Zarif Baiguskarov, Nikolay Bortsov, Vadim Bulavinov, Dmitry Islamov, Mikhail Kuzmin, Denis Maidanov, Nikolai Pankov, Yuri Petrov, Olga Pilipenko, Valentina Pivnenko, and Dmitry Pogorely.

The head of Russia's Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin called the verdict illegal.

Uzdenov, 56, was a member of Russia's House Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.

"A hard day. Death snatched another comrade from our ranks. Jasharbek (Dzhasharbek) Borisovich Uzdenov, a deputy of the State Duma, the former Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic died after a severe and prolonged illness," Vasilyev said.

Vasilyev expressed his condolences to the relatives and friends of Uzdenov.

"Sensitive, attentive, strong-willed, always ready to help—this is how we will remember Jasharbek Borisovich. He fought for a long time, but, unfortunately, the disease turned out to be stronger. We will miss him very much," he said.

Uzdenov was elected to the State Duma on September 19, 2021. He came under U.S. and New Zealand sanctions after the war began.

At least 20 Russians have died in mysterious circumstances since the war began last February, including Ravil Maganov, the chairman of Lukoil, Yuri Voronov, the founder and general director of the Astra-Shipping transport and logistics company, Vladislav Avayev, a former Kremlin official and vice president of Gazprombank, and Major General Vladimir Makarov, an officer who oversaw the Kremlin's crackdown on anti-war protesters.

Putin pals in peril.

September 19, 2022

Since the start of Russian president Vlad Putin's ill-considered attempt to conquer Ukraine, there's been a rash of mysterious deaths among his oligarch cronies (some pictured above along with the means of their demise). Between the pointless war losses and the sanctions imposed by the West that are slowly strangling the economy, it's not a stretch to imagine these ultra-wealthy businessmen turning against the Russian leader. And Putin, the ex-KBG officer, exacting his revenge.

Prominent among the war's critics has been Ravel Maganov, chairman of the giant Russian oil company, Lukoil. By a strange coincidence, Maganov was reported to have fallen out of a sixth-floor window at Moscow's Central Clinic Hospital earlier this month. And he wasn't the only high-level Russian businessman to expire under puzzling circumstances, either.

The day after Putin ordered troops into Ukraine in February, the body of Alexander Tyulakov, a senior executive at Gazprom, the natural gas monopoly, was discovered with a suicide note nearby. The next month, Russian businessman Vasily Melnikov was found stabbed to death, along with his wife and sons.  

In April, Sergei Protosenya, another Kremlin-linked gas tycoon, was found hanged at his Spanish residence. His wife and daughter were found dead in their beds from stab wounds. The next day, Vladislav Avayev, former vice-president at Gazprombank, was found shot dead in his Moscow penthouse. And in July, Yuri Voronov, CEO of Astra-Shipping, was found dead from gunshot wounds to the head and with a pistol next to the body.

The late Comrade Maganov wasn't the only casualty of gravity. In May, Andrei Krukovsky, another Gazprom manager, fell of a cliff in Sochi. Dan Rapoport, a Latvian-born Russian businessman and outspoken Putin critic, fell from his Washington, DC apartment in August. And only last week, the point man for developing the vast Russian-held resources in the Arctic, Ivan Pechorin, somehow managed to fall off his private yacht. Pechorin's body washed up 100 miles from Vladivostok.  

Even though a few of Putin's billionaire buddies are turning their ill-gotten rubles into cryptocurrency, the sanctions are causing them all to become squeezed financially. And no doubt some are using their Kremlin connections to lobby against the war. But, as the online news source TheStreet points out, anyone familiar with Putin "would likely know immediately that interfering with his ambitions could backfire." Perhaps lethally.

If all this reminds you of The Godfather where Michael Corleone coldly eliminates anyone he considers disloyal — even those closest to him — remember that Russia is basically a crime syndicate. With Putin as mob boss.
