I learn a new word today. Defenestration - the action of throwing someone out of a window.

I saw that this morning and thought "Russian oil exec who criticized Putin just happens to fall out of a 6th story window. Sure he does - accidently falls out of a window. Oops!"

I mean in terms of Putins signatures
1. Falling off tall buildings
2. Nerve agent, Novichok
3. Polonium

Russian news agency says he died falling out of a window. But, his energy company says he died after a long illness. I didn’t realise that buildings in Moscow were so tall that it took a long time to reach the ground.

The body of a millionaire Novatek former manager was found alongside his wife and daughter at a Spanish villa in April
A former vice-president of Gazprombank, was found dead with his wife and daughter in their Moscow flat, also in April
In May, a former Lukoil tycoon Alexander Subbotin died of heart failure, reportedly after seeking alternative treatment for a hangover with toad venom. Suuure ... That’s my goto for a hangover.:rolleyes:

I remember early in the pandemic (when Russia was still pretending it was only a problem for other countries) doctors were mysteriously falling out of windows. And Russian journalists have consistently had issues with open windows for years. You'd think they would stay far away from windows when visitors stop by.

I wonder how many oligarchs in Russia are able to buy life insurance these days now that for some odd reason they've been classified as being in a high risk occupation.

If I were in a Russian hotel I would pay extra for the no window room.
Contrary to my instructions about what floor/floors I should avoid in lodgings for security. I would choose to stay on the 1st floor in Russia.
