Following the death of Yankina after falling from 160 feet, the Russian political arena is abuzz with speculations. The reports say that she was close to President Vladimir Putin and also was a key figure in the funding of Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine.
A media report also claims that prior to her death, Yankina had called her ex-husband. She reportedly had informed him what she was intending to do.
This media outlet ‘Mash on Moika,’ says that “On the phone conversation Yankina told her husband about what she was going to do. She also informed him where she would leave things. While hanging up the phone she had also asked him to call the police. After some minutes following the call, her body was found on the ground floor.
The lady aide of the Russian President, Yankina’s death has come days after Major General Vladimir Makarov’s death. Makarov was recently fired by Russian President Vladimir Putin and then his body was found in a suspected suicide form after a few days.
Prior to joining the Western Military region, Yankina served as the Deputy Chairman of the Property Relations Committee of St. Petersburg and she also was serving in the Federal Tax Service. Reports belive that she was at the centre of efforts to strengthen funding for the war against Ukraine.

Pavel was recently in India and his body was also found dead in his hotel premise. As reported he fell out of a hotel window and died.
