Ruslan Magomedragimov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruslan Magomedragimov (Russian: Руслан Магомедкасумович Магомедрагимов, ?-2015) was a Russian activist from Dagestan. He was involved with the movement "Sadval" (Unity), advocating for the autonomy or independence of the Lezgin people.[1]

He was found dead on March 24, 2015, in Kaspiysk[2][3] in suspicious circumstances, although the official investigation concluded he died from natural causes. Sadval movement issued a statement in which its leader, Nazim Hajiyev, publicly stated that he was convinced that Magomedragimov had been killed due to his activism (Hajiyev himself would be murdered a year later[4][5]). In 2021 investigation by Spiegel, Bellingcat and The Insider, suggested that Magomedragimov might have been the victim of the same FSB team that was involved in the Poisoning of Alexei Navalny.[6][5][7][8]
