Alexei Maslow was once the head of the Russian armed forces. Most recently, the general worked for the Uralvagonzavod arms company. The company is now announcing the “sudden” death of the military, which has received many accolades in Russia.

The former commander of the Russian army, General Alexei Maslow, has died “suddenly” at the age of 70, according to Russian media. This was reported by the Russian news agency TASS, citing the engineering and defense company Uralvagonzavod. “The management of the Uralvagonzavod concern is very sorry to announce that today at 08:20 in the military hospital NN Burdenko, there has been a death. Alexey Fedorovich Maslov died suddenly at the age of 70,” TASS quoted the statement as saying.

The cause of death is unclear. It is also not known why Maslow was admitted to the hospital. Maslow served in various positions up to Commander in Chief of the Russian Army. For some time he was the Supreme Military Envoy of the Russian Federation to NATO and was awarded many orders and medals. Recently, according to the company, he worked for Uralvagonzavod.

“In recent years, when he worked as a special representative of the Uralvagonzavod concern for military and technical cooperation, Alexey Fedorovich remained faithful to the struggle and the Motherland until the last day, and his contribution to the development and activities of Uralvagonzavod can hardly be ignored. It is too high, “the company said in a statement.
