Russian businesswoman Natalia Bochkareva, who was the daughter of President Putin’s ally late Vasily Bochkareva, was found dead at her apartment this week. Read on to learn who was Natalia Bochkareva, how did she die, and who was behind her mysterious death.
Netizens are discussing the incident as yet another attack of the “Russian sudden death syndrome.” The term was coined after several high-profile Russian personalities died under mysterious circumstances lately, especially after the country’s conflict with Ukraine.
Who was Natalia Bochkareva?
Natalia Bochkareva was the daughter of Vasily Bochkareva, who belonged to Vladimir Putin’s United Russian Party. She was 44 years old and resided in a property in the upscale Presnensky District. Reportedly, she used to stay alone at her apartment.
Bochkareva used to manage her family’s lumber processing and bakery businesses after her father’s death due to lung cancer. Mr. Vasily Bochkareva died in 2016, a year after his retirement. He governed Penza Oblast from 1998 to 2015.
Natalia Bochkareva previously made headlines after she got scammed of £136,000 by a self-proclaimed fortune-teller. The scammer agreed to remove a ‘curse’ from her but ran away with the money when Natalia gave it to him.

‘Russian Sudden Death Syndrome’ Continues with Natalia Bochkareva
A number of high-profile Russian personalities died mysteriously after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Many of them are linked to the energy sector and conspiracy theorists believe they were apparent murders. Netizens call it “Russian sudden death syndrome.”
Natalia Bochkareva is the latest victim of the phenomenon. In January 2023, Magomed Abdulayev, 61, close to ex-Russian president Dmitry Medvedev was killed after a car rammed his vehicle in Makhachkala on the Caspian Sea.
Before that, oil tycoon Ravil Maganov, 67, fell to his death from the sixth floor of a Moscow hospital in September last year. The media claimed it was suicide but no one knows the truth. One report also claimed that there were signs of a ‘beating’ on his body but it’s unconfirmed.
Alexander Tyulakov, 61, a senior Gazprom financial and security officer, and Leonid Shulman, 60, head of transport at Gazprom Invest, are two more people who died mysteriously. Billionaire Alexander Subbotin, 43, is another victim. He was a top manager at Lukoil.
