The f’ed up Government of Putin will try the same shit in the USA.
Without Swan Lake, how can there be putsch in Kremlin? Truly, genius move.
How long before windows make it to the statistics of average deaths per-year in Russia?
I honestly wonder if the Kremlin figured the ratio of trained military personnel to dissidents needed to keep pushing people out of buildings.
That’s the second addition this week: Suspicious deaths of notable Russians
Again? That’s another reason to uninstall all windows. Especially in Russia.
Bill gates and Steve balmer in shambles.
Why? so they can take you alive?
I know here is the place where we happily fall for these clickbaits. Sure, a lot of Russians weren’t hot about the idea of invading Ukraine, but also everyone dies somehow. Just to be clear, the content of the article doesn’t suggest what everyone is suggesting here. Or what? Are people supposed to be immortal as long as they criticize Putin?
What do you think is a normal rate of death-by-falling-from-a-window for well known people who criticise the leader of the nation, in most countries?
hello comrade, how is Moscow today?
falling from a building is not a natural cause of death, and it’s also not likely that it was a mistake
Russia be slippery. My heart goes out to these rare brave souls in a land of cowards.
In another article emergency services responded with this gem.
He died a natural death. It’s not a crime.
cause of death: the natural impact of cement on the body experienced after a perfectly natural fall
Gravity, is natural, no?
Coming soon to a city near you!
Ballet stars, and their notoriously poor balance.
He seems to have astonishing balance for someone with one leg
As far as I read, he had a
legspinal injury and an operation scheduled (bad stuff for a ballet dancer - you can’t work with an injuredlegspine) and was experiencing difficulties with alcohol and painkillers (the latter for the injury). He might have felt that his career was doomed.As far as I read, he called his girlfriend (or maybe ex-wife, as the article suggests) and asked her to visit him. When she arrived, he had already fallen.
He was characterized as optimistic and nobody had noticed a death wish. Then again, during injury, pain, inability to work, (self-)medication and maybe withdrawal symptoms, other people’s predictions of character may not entirely apply to every person.
The balcony was described as not the safest place on Earth. It doesn’t require a detective to suspect that being under the influence of strong painkillers might increase the risk.
He can’t be characterized as an opposition figure, or a figure of power. There is no clear beneficiary or motive.
As for war and statements against it - he was an artist, a dancer in a publicly funded theatre, and limited by that in what he could say without losing his job. Since it seems that he had reasonable political opinions, inability to voice them without experiencing retribution probably didn’t make him cheerful.
This isn’t funny.
You’re just blessed enough not to recognize gallows humor. We’re actually jealous of you.
make sure you check your railings in America before January.
Everyone else is stocking up on food and drugs.
I’m stocking up on steel railings and evacuation air pads.
Unfortunately anti-russian racism is acceptable here. When you see a headline like this, just be ready for the comments.
Do you seriously think Russian is a race?
Russia isn’t a race.
It’s a failed state, ruled by a corrupt dictator.
Just like America in a couple months.
Gallows humor about the suspicious deaths of people critical of an oligarchy is not racism.
Unless you are a wilfully credulous root vegetable of a person.
What exactly was racist?
And who said it’s funny. I’m confused
TIL Russian is a race
Pro-Russian comment meant to wield the left’s propensity to over-diagnose racism to redirect and distract.
I’d more call it politicism, as it’s more criticizing the political state and not someones origin/heritage.
A nice window to the future for US citizens critical of their government… a window ripe for defenestration…
If I die mysteriously from a fall, please refer to this comment.
They’ll just “find drugs” in your car. Local police forces will be able to link information profiles on you to license plate readers. They’ll get an alert for a “liberal” coming into their town and pull you over under some small premise like you were “swerving.”
Actually you will probably die in a Tesla whose doors do not open https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/friends-trapped-in-tesla-burned-to-death-when-electronic-doors-failed-to-open-after-crash/ar-AA1tWPYH
Or which just hits you: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/
I mean now where Teslas are probably the next mandatory car for state officials. And after some “Think Tank” will be pretty sure that all the saftey fuss about autopilots is bad for the economy.
I’m afraid that in the future they will try to require self-driving in all cars, citing some bs about how self-driving is “safer” (in theory, and under perfect conditions)
You may want to check the history of your country. It’s your past your present and your future.
A window to the present for journalists critical of Israel.
I imagine Russia is like the Star Wars setting, lots of crazy steep drops and they never install railings.
The platform where Darth Vader confronts Luke has railings, so they clearly have the parts, tools, and a guy who installs them. Maybe he’s just held up on Level B?
Or maybe they literally one have that one guy/gal installing the railings throughout the entire Republic‽
I hope ey finished the job on the Death Star and didn’t explode with it. Cause then it would be zero people installing railings afterwards
They are a contractor. They was obviously on a different job starting that before they came back to the Death Star.
