"The Insider" newspaper reports that Russian generals have been killed both on the front lines and in the rear (for example, as a result of military sabotage).
The first Russian general killed after the start of the full-scale war was Andrey Sukhovetsky, deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army formation (he was killed on February 28, 2022, in the Chernihiv region; likely shot by a sniper).

In subsequent years, Sergey Goryachev, Oleg Tsokov, and Vladimir Zavadsky were eliminated. Igor Kirillov, Yaroslav Moskalik, and Mikhail Gudkov are also among the killed generals.
The last general killed is Fanil Sarvarov, head of the General Staff's Operational Training Directorate (on December 22, 2025, as a result of a car bomb explosion in Moscow).
