Alexander Trukhanov Biography

Father of the family, Vitaly Trufanov, terrorists killed at point -blank on October 7. His body was found near the road in a kibbutz. During his retention, terrorists posted four videos with his participation. In November, they released the proof of the life of Sasha, in which he called for the conclusion of an agreement on the release of hostages and talked about difficult conditions of captivity and lack of necessary resources.

The Trufanov family asked not to publish the fourth video, and after the release of the third video, Sasha’s mother said: “I am glad to see that my son is alive, but it’s scary to hear what he says. I urge to do everything possible for his immediate release and release of all other hostages.

They have no time left. " Sapir noted that in the first video her lover mentioned her, while in the next - no longer. He wants me to continue [to live]. Perhaps he thinks that it is bad to make me wait and wait for him for a long time. But I'm still waiting, ”she said in an interview. In addition to Israeli, Sasha also has Russian citizenship, and the Russian authorities have repeatedly promised to contribute to the salvation of him and other Russians from captivity in Gaza.

It is known that during the abduction on October 7, Sasha was wounded. In addition, we expect that our other humanitarian requests previously sent to the Palestinian side will be taken into account, ”Viktorov wrote on the social network X. Deputy Head of the Politburo Hamas Musa Abu Marzuk previously stated that with a possible future exchange of hostages“ they will give priority to the release of Russian citizens ”.

The silence of Amazon before the abduction, Alexander Trufanov, worked in the unit of the technological giant Amazon. The company has repeatedly been criticized for silence with respect to the capture of their employee with terrorists. Moreover, at the annual Amazon conference, the Vice President of the AWS Rub Borno appeared with a pendant in the form of a map “from the river to the sea”-a symbol of the destruction of Israel and the creation of the Palestinian state on its territory.

While the Trufanov family tried to draw attention to his fate, the media reported that in the first weeks of the war, the leadership of the HR department of Amazon forbade the employees to publicly speak in support of the hostage. It was expected that the general director Andy Jesse or one of the top managers will make an official statement, but this did not happen.

Although in Israel, Amazon employees posted photos of Trufanov and invited his family to corporate events, the company's global management continued to remain silent.
