Something strange is going on. Who is killing Russian billionaires?

Another Russian oligarch has been found dead. Reports suggest that he hanged himself.

Bell out of a window, flashed his wrists, was poisoned, murdered his whole family.

Last year more than a dozen Russian oligarchs died in the space of nine months.

Many of the deaths are suspicious with links to the Kremlin.

This is Sad oligarch, an investigation into these recently dead Russian billionaires.

It's created by me, Jake Hanran, and my colleague, Sergei Slipchenko.

Sad oligarch is a H-11 production for cool zone media and die heart radio.

In the space of a year more than a dozen rich Russian businessmen have died in either brutal or mysterious circumstances.

Many fell out of windows, some had heart attacks, and a few even killed their whole families before committing suicide.

The official line from the Russian authorities is that most of these deaths were accidents.

Or violent consequences of mental illness. And maybe that's true.

But considering the majority of these dead rich Russians are either outright oligarchs or have other links to the Kremlin, it's possible that something much darker is taking place.

These deaths have all occurred within the backdrop of the Ukraine.

But if you look at this video, you can see that there's a lot of people in the space.

There's a lot of people in the space, and there's a lot of people in the space.

There's a lot of people in the space, and there's a lot of people in the space.

These deaths have all occurred within the backdrop of the Ukraine war.

A brutal invasion that has shown the whole world that Russia's president Putin is both ruthless and brazen.

Maybe the Kremlin has been tying up loose ends or making examples of those who go against them as several of these dead oligarchs have.

For some, war can actually be bad for business.

In this project, sad oligarch, I'll be investigating the numerous strange deaths of these rich Russian businessmen.
