    They must get on with it now… find some other way of accidentally dying. If this proves one thing it is either the total lack of imagination in Russia, or the total lack of education on the risks of heights

      I think it’s done that way for brand reasons.

      Dude becomes undesirable -> falls out of window -> everyone knows he didn’t fell on it’s own

      It’s fear tactic.

          With a suicide/accident you don’t need to open an investigation. It’s basically showing off that the execution is state sanctioned at every level, I’d say.

    In a few hundred years it’ll be written that during this time a whole bunch of people with important jobs died in Russia by falling out of windows, and there will be people thinking ‘no way’, when actually, ‘yes way’. I’m a little tired of watching history happening in my lifetime, ngl.

    Either Russia really needs to work on better building codes, or they need a complete change of government. This is beyond incompetence, even patients at hospitals have been falling out of windows. The negligence is absolutely astounding. /s

    This is what one gets for blatant honesty in the great state of Russia.
