Russians and those pesky windows

My one and only requirement for accepting a job in russia would be that my office is on the first floor.

And I would live in a basement.

r1, so true, but Putin could always revert to the Trotsky Ice Pick, ice ax.

It is just as easy to fall on an Ice Ax as it is to defenestrate.

Don't they use Novichok or polonium any more? Too hard to get with sanctions?

Once you are in custody they either subject you to hypothermia or starve you, or both. Navalny 2.

No need to leave poison residue. Navalny 1.

But having Igor, Boris and Pavel heave you out a window is just as "natural". And quicker.

I would hope it would take at least two dudes to shove me out a window, Russians all have dash cams, but no other security cams catch these assholes?

I look forward to the day when Putin gives Trump the Prigozhin treatment.

Putin, more options than Lucretia Borgia.

According to Daily Fail, the oil tycoon reportedly lived on the building's 10th floor but fell from the 17th story, according to local media.

Does anyone ever learn exactly why they "jump"?

t8, it is personal shame for offending Мистер Биг...

If Le Bureau des Legendes is any guide, they jump on their own because their families are threatened.

Poor Andrew has been added to this list of “Suspicious Russia-related deaths since 2022”.

**Andrey**, stupid autocorrect.

Here's a link to a source that isn't quite as sketchy as OP's.

As this article points out, lots of wealthy Russians live in high-rise buildings, which makes both murder and suicide an easier option.

In Russia window opens YOU!!

They’re all so blind drunk, tho, starting at breakfast, I can easily imagine they’re accident prone.

Tears in Heaven

What a great idea!!!

Thanks, R10.

But I'm wondering what they have actually [bold]done[/bold] that merits being "jumped", or having their families threatened? Who are they crossing, and why, when they know what might be in store for them?

Are they heroes or idiots or trapped in some way?

Did you read the Wiki article that I linked at R11, R18? It might answer your questions.

Thank you, R19.
