Defenestration


This is a fairly common headline for news out of Russia: Lukoil Chairman Ravil Maganov Dies After Falling From Hospital Window.

Apparently falling out of windows is a popular way to die in Russia -especially if you are in opposition to the dear leader. Maganov happened to be outspoken against the “special military operation,” in Ukraine. 

Another common method of death is poisoning. Being poisoned with exotic radioactive substances is a special hazard of being in opposition to the government. 

If you’ve been paying attention to the news you couldn’t help but notice a lot of prominent Russians dying. Russian politics is especially brutal. 

While the war rages on in Ukraine there’s a whole “night of the long knives” situation happening behind the scenes. 

How will it all end? Darn if I know. Will Putin fall out of a window? Is it more likely his opponents will be taking the fast way down to the ground floor? Only time will tell. The body count from this war is not just in the war zone.

  1. Wondering what the count is up to on the Arkancide List? Just checked... It's 31 Clinton enemies dead that we know of.

  2. Not really off topic, Machiavellian politics are everywhere.
    Also, wouldn't put it beyond what the Criminals In Action do daily, note the capitalized letters.
