  1. Looks like they trying to clean corruption out of the army or army boys clearing anybody who tries to do that.

  2. >law enforcement agencies haven’t ruled out that she took her own life.

    I think calling them law enforcement at this point is over-egging it a bit

  3. It seems there was a reason why so many soviet union buildings had metal bars outside the window.

  4. The Kremlin: “Marina, you failed to bring us victory in Ukraine, out of the window you go, now let’s find another puppet to replace her”.

    How things went.

  5. Imagine having a nightmare and you dream that you’re falling out of a window only you’re in Russia and it’s not a dream at all

    Edit: your

  6. I read that Stalin had a gallows humor. When he’d see a particular official he would ask, “They haven’t arrested you yet?” Quite the joker. I don’t think Putin has any sense of humor, but his line would be, “Don’t go near any high windows!”

  7. I get it it’s their signature move but… surely there’s a lot of risk involved in dropping people from windows and having them survive? I’m sure you can just shoot them in their temples and claim it was suicide

    Not that it makes any difference, they’re still going to end up dead later regardless, just comes across as a bit stupid

  8. Naive questions: are we sure all those deaths are not (sometimes) related to suicide ? Either because of work pressures or because they faulted and were too afraid of consequences/couldn’t handle the shame or loosing their position of power ?

    I mean, I’m not thinking every russian is living a seppuku-style life, but can we really consider all those death to be assassinations ?

  9. I imagine all Russian bureaucrats have switched to Linux because anything window-related is too traumatic.

    But I do look forward to the eventual Armando Iannucci movie surrounding Putin’s death, with a lot of defenestrations.
