Vladimir Vuglev died on 26 October in the city of Anapa, where he spent the last years of his life. He was 80 years old. This scientist is known as one of the developers of the class of combat chemical agents that received the name "Novichok". Details regarding the cause and circumstances of his death are not specified.
Vladimir Vuglev was born in 1946 in the city of Kirovsk. He received his education at the Mendeleev Moscow Institute of Chemical Technology, where he studied the specialisation "chemistry and technology of biologically active substances".
From 1975 to 1990, Vuglev worked as a senior research fellow at the Volzhsky branch of the State Scientific Research Institute of Chemical Technology (GosNIOHT), located in Saratov Oblast. This institution participated in Soviet chemical weapons development programmes.
Following the 2018 incident in Salisbury, when Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned, Vuglev's name became known to the general public. At that time, he publicly commented on the events. Also, in 2020, after the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, the chemist provided journalists with explanations regarding the mechanism of action of substances from the "Novichok" family, which are nerve-paralysing poisons.
As investigative journalist Christo Grozev notes, in recent years Vladimir Vuglev has spoken out against the use of the substance he developed against the civilian population. He also publicly refuted official statements by the Kremlin related to the Skripal and Navalny cases.
