Former “minister” of the Luhansk “republic” shot dead near Moscow, burnt corpse of collaborator judge found in occupied Berdiansk

Former “minister of fuel, energy and coal industry” of the Luhansk “republic” Konstantin Zavizenov was found dead with a gunshot wound in the Moscow region, Novyny Donbasu reported with references to the Telegram channels VChK-OGPU and Mash.

According to a source of the VChK-OGPU, Zavizenov’s body was found on a plot in his country house in the Istra district of the Moscow region. He died of a head wound. Police officers who arrived at the scene found his minor son and spotted several hunting rifles in the house. According to the child, his father was drinking vodka and talking to him about life. Then he planned to go to a hotel to sleep, and in the morning to take the guns and go hunting in Kamchatka.

It is believed that Zavizenov committed suicide because of family issues.

According to the Mash, the former “minister” of the Luhansk “republic” had been on the drink for a week and a half. On the evening of October 1, his son found a note and alcohol on the table. Then he heard a shot. A registered gun was lying next to his father’s body.

At the same time, the VChK-OGPU wrote that about ten days ago, Zavizenov had sent a message to his family with the word “Goodbye”, “but he did not explain it in any way and did nothing to himself”.

Zavizenov was in the process of divorcing his wife, who had accused him of adultery, the VChK-OGPU noted. He allegedly had a second family for 18 years.

Konstantin Zavizenov, a native of Perm, Russia, worked throughout his life in the departments of the Russian energy ministry, ministry of industry and energy, Rosenergoatom and Inter RAO UES.

Zavizenov was appointed “minister” in the occupied part of the Luhansk region in August 2022. He resigned the following year.

According to the VChK-OGPU, Zavizenov told his loved ones that he was “tired of burying his colleagues”: about ten people he worked with had died during this time. He managed to resign under the pretext of caring for his wife.

Also, 0629 reported, citing Ukrainian officials, that in the morning of October 2, in the occupied Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia region, a car carrying Vitaliy Lomeiko, a former judge of the Chernihiv District Court of the Zaporizhzhia region, burned down in an explosion. After the occupation of Berdiansk in 2022, Lomeiko sided with the Russian occupation authorities.
