That will teach the economy.
Executions will continue until GDP improves.
That window just jumped right out in front of her!
That line…
“She fell out of the window of her apartment, unfortunately, it was not possible to save her, the injuries she received were incompatible with life,” the source said.
That caught my eye too and made me laugh. I’m guessing it was something lost in translation.
You might think that but it’s actually established parlance
Sounds like ‘head separated from body’ or alike injuries.
Worst case of being cut in half I’ve ever seen
That’s what you get for being honest about your economy in Russia.
I wonder if she completed the customary two shots to the back of the head suicide ritual that is all too common with wealthy Russians 🤔
Every time I’m near a window I look behind me to make sure a Russian is not there.
So is Russia’s plan at this point just to kill everyone in their country very very slowly?
They just have to be unpredictable and unexpected. The idea is to have everyone terrified at all times. That is the most efficient scenario for control, as you don’t have to police actual rules if the rules are made up and the consequences are lethal.
This is pretty typical in totalitarian terrorist governments like Russia, NK and past dictatorships like Cambodia, Libya, Chile and Uganda.

Doesn’t this method have diminishing returns? As soon as the populace believes anything and everything will get them killed by the state, there’s nothing preventing the populous from rising against the state because they have nothing to lose.
There’s a balancing point. Most people aren’t really able to process the idea of “they came for my neighbor and I said nothing” and do something about it.
Perhaps, but eventually one member of nearly every family will have been “came for”. At that point it ceases to be a theoretical exercise and becomes a practical reality.
Putin’s plan, and anyone who supports him, but yeah. This is the look of a fascist nation, just kill off anyone who opposes you as the world slowly unifies against your actions until someone in your country kills you, or those you’ve wronged reach your doorstep and you kill yourself. Granted not all fascist nations end up like this, often they have years of terrible reign for their people, it generally only changes when they decide they need more land
Golly, they sure do make flimsy windows in Russia.
Except for children and the elderly, fatal falls from windows are not all that common it would seem. Most places.
I mean, yeah.
Darn. Wasn’t the Economist I was hoping it would be.
