  1. it’s daily mail, so I should downvote, but it’s another russian falling from a high window…

  2. how clumsy

    people please be careful around windows they seem dangerous

  3. >Russian police are investigating the death of the latest prominent figure to fall to his death from a window

    I bet they are… just not very hard.

  4. Another victim of poor Russian building codes. The Kremlin should really get around to fixing those. It’s a hazard.

  5. This is the reality some of our elites want for us.

    Thank Republicans. :/

  8. They should really consider updating their building codes… It seems to happen so often there… Strange…

  9. In Mother Russia, windows don’t open for fresh air. They open to give you new views. Some people get a view of the sky. Some people… get a view of the pavement. It’s all part of the experience.

  10. I do admire the attempt to sell these as a regular accident that ever happens to anyone

  11. KGB operatives seem to have a weird defenestration fetish

  12. Putin heard that song “It’s raining Men” and really went all the way with it

  13. Turns out the window doesn’t even open from the inside and the only way to fall out of it is to run at it full speed and smash your body into it

  14. He went out for a smoke, and unfortunately the wind kicked up. Nothing surprising or suspicious

  15. I don’t suppose living in a windowless basement would have helped gaurd against this kind of “accident”

    1. The action of throwing someone out of a window.

  18. Pravda translates to Truth. Trump’s Rag is called Truth Social. Coincidence? Hmm.

  19. This has happened so much that the gallows-humor jokes about it aren’t funny anymore, and that’s just another sad thing about it now.

  20. I don’t know how things are in Russia, but I’ve ran 100s of suicides as a first responder in a western country. Only 2 of them involved leaping to their death from a high place. One was a construction worker whose girlfriend had just broken up with him (jumped from the 12th story) , the other was a person released too early from a mental health hospital (jumped from a bridge and got run over).

    Most people choose the easy, less painful way (pills, gun, hanging, etc) rather than becoming pavement jelly. It’s just not a normal thing to do. This dude is 87 and has access to numerous medications that can be fatal if taken in relative higher than normal doses. He was diagnosed with heart failure decades ago, which tells me furosemide, and beta blockers. Most humans would choose the simple way out, not a window…

  21. I always just imagine Russia to be like Star Wars. Lots of platforms with absolutely no hand rails or fall protection

  23. We should export an OSHA team over there to evaluate window design and construction. This has been happening much too frequently over the past couple of decades. That, and find the cause of all those random bullets that continually find their way into dissidents.

  24. Everyone knows that the hallmark of a free and fair press is when a publisher falls out if a window to their death. If it was suppression of the media they would have just used novichok. Clearly this was just an unfortunate accident related to Russian building codes.

  25. Another window LMFAO ..man they don’t give a fuck about making it look like an accident. They’re just advertising at this point lmao

  27. Just in case, “Pravda” in russian is “Truth”. And of course, this newspaper never told true.

    It was main soviet and then putin mouthpiece of propaganda.

    So, the guy who “accidentally” fell out of window was totally involved with all the shit russia currently does

  28. I hope the Russians quickly find a cure for this falling out of a window syndrome

  29. Who has the courage to stand up against the very real danger that Russians face from the malfeasance of the window industry and their shoddy manufacturing practices? Smh

  30. “Shuka! Of course man can shoot himself in head twice and still jump from building with his hands tied behind back. He was Russian. Built like bull!”

  31. When everyone dies in the same way it’s not lack of creativity… it is a statement.

  32. and when we think Putin is going to mix it up to keep us guessing, he goes back to his favorite method. I guess tall buildings are always convenient.

  33. At this point, Putin needs to be held accountable… For an extreme lack of imagination

  34. Has anyone ever collected all of the window “suicides” ? Actually all of the traumatic deaths under Putin, broken out by means of death? That would be interesting, if time consuming.

  35. Pravda means “truth” in Russian. Thats the name of the state sponsored newspaper (and a joke of course.) Now you see the model Trump used for his own “Truth” platform. Also a joke. And like in Russia, a sad sick joke.
