  2. Надпись на английском. Парню заплатили за представление.

  3. I think he knew his protest would end up with him “falling” out a window. Poor bastard.

  4. Putin can probably do a lot, almost anything in his life – but one thing he cannot do – is to retire.
    He has to die on the job.

    Same goes for Erdogan, Orban, Netanyahu, and probably a few more around the world.

  6. I don’t see it mentioned in the title or comments, but this brave man held up a poster that said: “Putin is Hitler.”

    Bravo. Rise up. Stand up to Putin. The rest of the world, Arm Ukraine properly.

  7. For those not reading the article, he didn’t die. He jumped in, floated around imitating a corpse and was then ‘rescued’ (if you can call it that given what’s gonna happen to him next).

  8. Too bad others dream the fever dream and not live. Poor cattle

  12. I love how it said a “rescuer” jumped in after him. The police they mean.

  13. >**A man in central Moscow staged a rare protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin before jumping from a bridge into the Moscow River, the independent news outlet SOTAvision reported Tuesday.**

    >Video published by the outlet shows the man, whose face was not visible, holding a poster that reads “Putin Hitler” on one side and displays a swastika on the other. He is seen standing on the edge of the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge, located right next to the Kremlin.

    >The man then jumps into the river and floats face-up, appearing to imitate a corpse. A second video shows a rescuer leaping from a boat to reach him.

    >SOTAvision said paramedics treated the man after he was pulled from the water, but his condition remains unknown. Around eight police officers were reportedly dispatched to the scene.

    >Authorities have not disclosed the man’s identity or announced any arrests in connection with the protest.

    >Public demonstrations against Putin and Russia’s war in Ukraine have become increasingly rare amid sweeping laws that effectively ban criticism of the military. Scores of people have been fined, imprisoned or forced into exile for their anti-war views since the start of the full-scale invasion.

    >In November, police arrested a masked man who staged a similar anti-Putin protest from atop a billboard in central Moscow.
