Putin Minister Dies | Why Putin Fired Russia's Ex-Transport Minister Hours Before He Shot Himself Russia's former Transport Minister Roman Starovoit killed himself on Monday, hours after President Vladimir Putin fired him from the job. Starovoyt shot himself in a Moscow suburb after the dismissal was announced, Russian news agencies reported. The country's Investigative Committee said his body was found in his car. Putin's decree, published on Russia's legal information portal, gave no reason for the dismissal of Starovoit after barely a year on the job. He was appointed transport minister in May 2024 after spending almost five years as the governor of the Kursk region bordering Ukraine.
