A top executive from a Russian social media platform was killed after his all-terrain vehicle flipped while trying to cross an Arctic river.
Vladimir Gabrielyan, 39, deputy CEO of VK, and his friend Sergey Merzlyakov, 44, the social media company’s purchasing director, died in the crash in northern Russia.
The millionaire Gabrielyan’s wife Elena, and another friend Sergey Olsevich, miraculously survived after walking some 16 miles to find reindeer herders to raise the alarm.
