Founder of country's largest construction company died unexpectedly in russia

The founder of the country's largest construction company "Samolet" Mikhail Kenin died in russia. His death occurred against the backdrop of news about the worsening financial situation of the developer.

This is according to reports in russian media, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

According to the Interfax agency, today, August 11, a message about Kenin's death was published on the company's website.

The entrepreneur died last Sunday, August 10, at the age of 57. The cause of death is not specified.

In February of this year, it became known that in 2024 Samolet reduced sales by 17%. The reason for this was a sharp increase in the key rate by the Central Bank of the russian federation. The developer's profit fell by half to RUB 8.2 billion.

In November 2024, the media wrote that Kenin was trying to sell his share of Samolet shares (29.12%). Other shareholders also expressed a desire to get rid of their stake in the company.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in early July this year, 53-year-old Roman Starovoit committed suicide in russia. In recent years, he held the positions of Minister of Transport of the russian federation and Governor of the Kursk Oblast.

As we will recall, in February this year, it became known that russian army officer Konstantin Nagaiko died in the Ivanovo Oblast of the russian federation. He was involved in missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
