Fanil Sarvarov

Fanil Sarvarov was a Lieutenant General and head of the training department within the Russian military. He became newsworthy following his death on December 22, 2025, in Moscow. Sarvarov was killed by a car bomb explosion in the southern part of the city. Russian authorities have launched an investigation into his death, classifying it as a murder. One line of inquiry being pursued by investigators is the possibility that Ukrainian special forces were involved in the attack.
