I'd guess they use this method rather than something else like poisoning whenever they want to make very apparent what happened, as a warning
i dunno. polonium poisoning usually makes it pretty self explanitory.
Yeah but who has a month to just wait around when there are dissidents that need defenstrating?
This guy poisons
It’s quite the signature.
Gravity poisoning is a real problem there.
...Along with Window Quality Control issues. Bad combo.
He needs Windows Recall
Then he can remember what things were like before he fell out of a window!
Is there a word for a form of government that rules entirely by throwing people out of windows?
Maybe “defenestrarchy”?
I bet it has a Ministry of Definistry.
*Defenestry
And boy, do they minister the defenestration. Internationally!
I seem to recall a few Russian heavy hitters falling from widows in India a few months back.
Defenestratiosis is a serious healthcare problem in Russia.
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with defenestratiosis? You may be entitled to financial compensation, call the Kremlin now.
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with defenestratiosis? You may be entitled to financial compensation we will reclaim all your assets for our compensation, call the Kremlin now.
Maybe Russians, especially ones who go against Putin, should avoid windows, what with their difficulty avoiding falling out of them.
Ah yes the classic story about the guy who asked for a suite without windows, and the concierge says: "Ah you want the polonium suite then!".
Background. Garry Hoy was a corporate and securities law specialist for the law firm of Holden Day Wilson in Toronto. While giving a tour of the Toronto-Dominion Centre to a group of articling students, he attempted to demonstrate the strength of the structure's window glass by slamming himself into a window.
Is this the one where the glass didn't break, but the frame and mounting did?
If think so, result is the same through.
Did it ever happen that the same person accidentally fell out of the window multiple times in a row until they got it right?
Well, they tried to kill Rasputin a bunch of times, but never succeeded. I don't know if they tried the window thing.
Unfortunately there isn't actually much evidence for this being true, just some stories told by Russian soldiers who already hated and feared the guy. There were a lot of myths around the whole thing that mostly seem to be bs.
Basically "oooh big magician guy ... scary, woooo... did you know the youngest daughter survived too?"
That said, I do not believe they attempted any window-hurling, that probably would have been a good test for magical powers.
No way, that would be ridiculous - instead they fall out of the next window down, which is like a totally different window. Possibly somehow along the way they also manage to shoot themselves in the back of the head, before falling out of the next window or down a flight of stairs. It's still a "suicide" though, if you know what's good for you (and your family).
They need to get a new trick.
They're not trying to hide it, though.
Everyone knows that's what they do. And that's why they continue doing it that way. It's a way to say, "There's nothing you can do to stop me, now shut up and obey."
Someday there will be an important person in Russia who actually does die by accidentally falling out of a window. But nobody will believe it was an accident lmao
If it ain't broke...
unlike that window...
Like laying underwear with poison. Oh... right...
Classic russia
Two possibilities. The one everyone is memeing on is that the Russian government did it.
The other is that it was a non-Governmental murder, but authorities are less likely to investigate it out fear of Putin.
Why is it a mystery? This has been their go-to MO for a while now.
It's a mystery why they try to maintain plausible deniability at this point.
Probably they just do it for the lolz at this point.
Also, some people are REALLY stupid, so maybe it still works for that type - e.g. I hear that Tucker Carlson is still asking questions trying to get to the bottom of it all!?
How could someone fall out of a window, then accidentally shoot themselves in the back of the head, then fall down a flight of stairs, then shoot themselves again!? Maybe if they...
It is a mystery, because if a detective starts a proper investigation, he or she will fall out of the window as well. And if you can't investigate, it's technically a mystery.
"mystery"
Nobody can possibly explain it.
Nobody is my favorite movie hero.
He doesn't have to explain it's understood
Alternative mysteries.
It’s almost a joke at this point

The only way to avoid falling out of the window is to leave Russia. Then you'll be shot dead like they do in civilised countries - https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-ukraine-war-murder-maksim-kuzminov-spain-intelligence/
Great advice. Wish it had worked for Navalny.
Where, like in the bunker?
Maybe just stay 10 feet away from the window? Or board it up!
I meant someone in particular if you know what I mean (;
Russia sure has a bad gravity problem.
Not really. Gravity and windows work as expected
And works all the way to India!
This is heavy, Doc!
Get Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc. on it ASAP!

Putin: And I would’ve gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for you, meddling kids!
This happens more than usual in Russia. I wonder if Putin is concerned.
You’ve seen that huge conference table, right?
It’s not that he’s trying to be intimidating… he just wants a head start on running,
Yeah, he might need to use this justification to take over all of Europe, so that he can properly address window safety comprehensively.
Oooo I love mysteries! I wonder how she fell
I postulate that she may have been pushed.
But who pushed it?
Not sure.... Coastguard?
A bullet in the bqck of the head
Acute lead poisoning?
Most likely defenestrated.
More like profenestrated, amirite??
You couldn’t read to the second line of the article and assumed the judge is a he?
Did you mean to write "she" but accidentally wrote "he" instead?
No, the person I responded to edited their comment.
This is why they say regulations are written in blood. Russia really needs to get on top of its building codes.
"Mystery"
exactly
Dem russian windows are so fucking dangerous, so many important people keep falling from them. Why won't daddy puttin save them?
Wanted to show the new interns how safe the windows are by running full speed at them
It's A Lawyer Thing

Mystery…. Riiiight.
Defenestration: Russian passtime.
It sounds like a "forest-y" type of word though....
That window maker sucks
Judge probably actually tried to be a fair and impartial. In the words of Depeche Mode... WRONG.
And that window's name... Albert Eintwobulletsinthebackoftheheadstein.
You must be joking!
, Mr Feynman!
Has Russia run out of radioactive material?
It's a calling card
