Several top Russian officials have plunged to their deaths from windows in recent years, including a top oil executive and a defense official.

    They must get on with it now… find some other way of accidentally dying. If this proves one thing it is either the total lack of imagination in Russia, or the total lack of education on the risks of heights

      I think it’s done that way for brand reasons.

      Dude becomes undesirable -> falls out of window -> everyone knows he didn’t fell on it’s own

      It’s fear tactic.

        but liquidating in the “regular” way would have the same effect wouldn’t it?

          With a suicide/accident you don’t need to open an investigation. It’s basically showing off that the execution is state sanctioned at every level, I’d say.

      They just have to add some flourish.
      Falling from the basement window on 6 bullets someone accidentaly dropped on the ground while shooting themselves 3 times to the back of the head with hands tied behind their back after totally by accident splashing novichok on their undies.
