A more appropriate comparison would be if Russian agents assassinated a local industrialist.

And, well, would you expect the state to proactively assign military protection details to such people?

No. They would have their own body guards, and maybe a police protection if needed. But not army.

The spy and counterspy agency would probably investigate, but they are not going to post a flak cannon next to each Starlink base station.
