MOSCOW, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Vladimir Nekrasov, the chairman of Russia's second-largest oil producer Lukoil (LKOH.MM), has died suddenly at the age of 66 after suffering acute heart failure, the company said on Tuesday.
Lukoil said Nekrasov had worked for almost 50 years in the oil and gas sector.
He had also worked as Lukoil's First Vice-President and an adviser to the company's president.
Unusually among Russian companies, Lukoil took a public stand over Moscow's operation in Ukraine.
