The vice president of Sberbank, Russia's largest state-owned bank, Nikolai Vasev, has died suddenly at the age of 42 due to a heart attack.

The bank announced the sudden death of Vasev, who had overseen Sberbank's private clients and properties for the past 12 years. He had assumed the role of vice president in December 2022, after the invasion of Ukraine.

Sberbank and EU sanctions

Last summer, the European Union imposed tough sanctions on Sberbank in retaliation for the war in Ukraine. The sanctions had a significant impact on Russian banks, causing them to report a more than 90% drop in their profits for 2022.

The mysterious deaths of Russian elites

In the wake of the war in Ukraine, a series of deaths have been reported among Russian politicians, industrial leaders and major financial figures under suspicious circumstances. These deaths include heart attacks, suicides and murders.
