    I’m conflicted.

    As an “enemy” of Putin, I have to assume assignation, but no windows? Russia has lots its way, are the classics no longer respected.

      Maybe he died of the mushroom before or during a defenstration. it does seem out of pattern.

    So many “coincidences” over the years. These “accidents” always happen to his dear oppositors. Nobody knows why.

      I wonder how many Putin allies have died similarly, and if there’s any reporting bias about it.

      Not doubting the “coincidences,” but it would be interesting to validate statistically.

        This is more of a cultural thing where you know you will get killed if you go against the leader, you know it’s “bad” to even talk bad about them, and it’s just accepted and you don’t really criticize it… Because criticizing your government would mean getting in serious trouble. You learn this young. You accept it. You just don’t do it.

        That’s how it was in the USSR, how it persisted under Putin, and they just believe that to be a symptom of a “strong” government. Apparently youth might be waking up a bit more in recent years, but it was like that for a long fucking time and they accept that just opening a piece of white paper in front of a building like a protester means getting carried away.

        So yeah they know these people are getting killed by their government. It’s just accepted. There is no question that it isn’t an accident.

      lets recap: falling out of windows right after series of losses, asking for covid assistance, falling out or exploding planes, poisonous underwear, falling off of boats, bombs.

        Don’t forget the other poisonings, and shooting. From radioactive polonium, to nerve toxins, to we would even count pumping that concert hall full of fentanyl gas when it was taken by chechens and killing a good share if not most of the hostages, considered a great success in Russia I’m sure.

        There was another with some kind of tree frog in a sweat lodge too just a few years back.

          russia sure likes to try anything that has poison in it. ricin and polonium was too obvious, so its novichik for dissidents, windows for oligarches.

    Everyone knows you should only eat the mushrooms you know and not just anything you find in the Forrest.

    Intern: But comrade doctor, the man was obviously shot!

    Comrade Doctor: Not so comrade, the mushrooms simply happened to be 9mm lead and thus he can reasonably have been said to have died of lead mushroom poisoning.

    Friends say he passed away at home after eating mushrooms he found in the yard of his home.

    Though he was a mushroom expert, the mushrooms he collected turned out to be poisonous.

    When I become a political speaker I’m going to make my hobbies piano moving, snake catching, deep sea fishing, and free climbing.

      “Let’s see them throw me out a window now! I’ll never set foot inside a building with a window ever again. I’m just going to live a simple life outdoors with my mushrooms. They’re the only thing that brings me joy anymore.”

      If an Amanita, they are universally known amongst mushroom experts and even just foragers, never trust any white mushrooms with their look. There is a very low chance he wasn’t poisoned.

    We had a case of death cap mushrooms in a Beef Wellington in Australia. The cook was convicted of killing her ex in-laws. Sounds familiar.
