Roman Abramovich and his partners in Evraz Group are seeking to sell their stake in coal producer Raspadskaya, said two people familiar with the matter.
Steelmaker Evraz and Raspadskaya's management are each seeking to sell 40 percent of the company and hired Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley to find a buyer, the people said, declining to be identified because the information is private.
Raspadskaya, once the largest supplier of coal to Russian steelmakers, fired the head of its flagship mine last year after 90 miners died in a series of explosions.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
