Vladimir Troitsky, the former director of the Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant from Belarus, which belonged to Motor Sich, died as part of the Russian occupation forces. It is known that back in 2023 he signed a contract with the Russian army.
According to the Ukrainian project “I Want to Live”, on September 1, 2023, Vladimir Troitsky signed a contract with the Russian army, and on November 5 of the same year he died. This was reported by 24 Kanal with reference to the Belarusian newspaper “Nasha Niva”.
Elimination of another criminal
Journalists report that as of January 31, 2023, Troitsky was still a prisoner in the Vitsba branch of the state enterprise VK 12-VAL and was probably in penal colony No. 3.
However, on September 1, 2023, the man signed a contract with the Russian army. It is known that he died on November 5 of the same year. It is assumed that after his release, he got a job at a factory before going to war.
In the summer of 2024, Belarusian security forces were searching for his relatives, which may indicate that his body has not yet been buried.
Who was Vladimir Troitsky
Vladimir Troitsky headed the Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant from 2007 to 2015. The enterprise specializes in repairing helicopters, in particular various modifications of the Mi-8, and at one time belonged to the Ukrainian company Motor Sich.
In 2018, he was sentenced in Belarus to four years in a maximum security penal colony with confiscation of property. Troitsky was found guilty of abuse of office during the construction of an airfield in 2011-2013.
According to Troitsky himself, his criminal case was allegedly an “order” from the Ukrainian people’s deputy and general director of Motor Sich, Vyacheslav Boguslayev.
In those years, the Ukrainian company acquired 60 percent of the shares of the Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant and planned to invest in its development. However, already in 2018, the self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko announced the nationalization of the enterprise.
Let us recall that the son of the former president of Motor Sich, Oleksandr Boguslayev, was detained in Monaco in May 2025 on suspicion of embezzling the company's assets. His assets worth half a billion hryvnias were frozen.
