A decorated Russian general who previously blasted President Vladimir Putin for running a “third-rate” air force has died under mysterious circumstances alongside his wife.
Lt. Gen. Vladimir Sviridov, 68 — who commanded Russia’s 6th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense from 2005 to 2009 — was found dead in bed Wednesday at his home in the village of Adzhievsky in the Stavropol region.
Sviridov’s 72-year-old wife, Tatiana, was found next to him, reported the popular Russian Telegram channel Baza.
The couple had been dead for about a week before the bodies were discovered, according to Baza.
No signs of violence were observed at the scene.
“Gas service workers have already taken measurements and no excess of the permissible concentration of harmful substances has been detected,” the channel wrote.
“What caused the death of Vladimir and Tatiana Sviridov is still unknown,” the report claimed.
