  While it would be a power move, the president of France isn't going to do that with his bare hands.
context: He was a member of the Russia’s ruling party and had a huge business in Russia. This together already means he was highly corrupt.
  For years he profited working with the regime and never was against it. But, apparently, war is bad for business, so he posted a single story in a messenger and then promptly apologised for it saying someone else used his account. Also, luxury hotel abroad when most Russian people can’t even leave the country.
  Take it as you like. >
  
  I'd like it medium rare >
  
  Wikipedia has a big list of a lot of deaths that are totally unconnected and completely accidental >
  
  And that page is only the 2022 list. >
  
  D.C. one is kinda strange cause cops have found "no leads" seems like their syndicate is deeper than we thought >
  
  Or they have gotten quite good at covering their tracks.  They are apparently very good at pushing people off of hotel balconies >
  
  If you're Russian and thinking about criticizing Putin, then Rule no. 1 is to make sure to always get the ground floor hotel room. >
  
  The fucked up part is what's stopping him from killing a non Russian for criticizing him? He's probably done it already. If he can have people assassinated in the u.s without a trace, then borders and nationality don't matter anymore. I could get suicided tomorrow for calling him a tiny dick piss baby, and who would even know? >
  
  Look up Dan Rapoport. It's already happened. >
  
  I wonder how many others are out there. >
  
  “Alexei Idamkin, Russia’s consul general in Calcutta, told the Tass news agency that there was no foul play in the lawmaker’s death.”
  Totes sounds legit. >
  
  He didn’t say it, he declared it! >
  
  The steaks in this issue are high. Imagine going against Putin. >
  
  Disagree and you'll get the chop >
  
  Neither side where mincing their words. >
  
  It's a shame though, he was a cut above the rest. >
  
  It wasn't the fall that killed him, but the impact on the marbling. >
  
  In Russia, the ground is meat magnet >
  
  Meat magnate meets meat magnet. >
  
  Sausage dude dies in sussage accident >
  
  Meatmaker meets maker >
  
  "Such a nasty accident".
  "We don't call them accidents we call them incidents."
  "Why?"
  "Because accident implies there's no one to blame". >
  
  It's for the greater good. >
  
  The greater good, yarp >
  
  …Narp? >
  
  Good. Meet us at the castle. >
  
  Hag >
  
  I beg your pardon? >
  
  Mafia state. 
  What a fucking garbage heap of cheap goons playing pretend government. Russia is a country without anyone at the wheel. >
  
  I swear you're right about it. It feels so weird when your whole government is a bunch of gangsters masquerading as legitimate heads of state. And people RESPECT them for it. Like I don't even know if it's called Stockholm syndrome or what. >
  
  The book "Red Notice" by Bill Browder is an enlightening look into how the mafia state came to be and functions semi-within the laws of Russia. >
  
  When my mum visited Russia she said people were INCREDULOUS the president had a salary.  They literally couldn't comprehend the presidents wallet and the government's bank balance being different things. >
  
  Calm down you lot. He wasn't assassinated. He committed suicide after the death of his friend who also criticised Putin. 
  It's clear that you shouldn't criticise Putin or you will very quickly become depressed enough to suicide. The statistics are alarmingly clear. >
  
  Why kill the children?! At least three of them say that the wives and children were also found dead. One of them say with blunt axe marks on them. The fuck. >
  
  Because some people will stand up if it means protecting their families. It sends a message to the rest that the FSB won't stop with you if you don't stay in line. North Korea and Latin Cartels also do it to cause terror in people who defect.
  Also if you die without heirs the Government will take your assets. >
  
  Can confirm, live in Latin America. Lineage wipe is a very real thing in cartels. >
  
  Why are so many of these Putin critics so clumsy >
  
  Dude was thinking bout all that meat >
  
  Hacking, whacking, chopping that meat >
  
  Dude seriously? That's seven hours I'm going to have to mod that game just to reinstall it, play it for 2 hours, and then forget about it for a year or so. >
  
  I mean at a certain point just find a different way to kill your political opponents, right?
  Edit: Y'all it was a dark sarcastic comment. Stop commenting about how it's about sending a message, that's obvious. And no, lack of creativity is not my main criticism, jeez. >
  
  I think it’s purposeful.  They are letting everybody know what happens if you go against daddy.  
  If they said he died of cancer, it wouldn’t send a message.  
  They don’t want to come right out and say they executed him because of optics/plausible deniability.     They’re saying it without saying it.  Just like mobsters >
  
  To be fair, dying of a particular kind of cancer that only happens when you have extreme exposure to radiation and is the leading cause of death among Russian spies that turned is another way to send a message, but it takes a year or two to actually die and windows are faster. >
  
  I believe the point is that they don't need to go that far.  
  Defenestrating someone is easy and cheap, and they are not concerned about doing it over and over. >
  
  I just connected the word defenestration to fenêtre, the french word for window, and I'm having a moment.... >
  
  Actually the etymology is from Latin (from de- ‘down from’ + Latin fenestra ‘window’). French fenêtre just also comes from the same Latin root word. >
  
  What the fuck knowledge did I just learn? Etymology is dope. >
  
  And the de- stands for an outward direction.
  If you study just a little bit of Latin, many English words suddenly make a LOT of sense. Such as: international, imperfection, repossession, antidote, concurrency, proclamation… >
  
  So then what if you push someone into a building from a window and the fall kills them? >
  
  Infenestration (in = into, onto). But if you throw them at the window instead of through it, you’re talking about adfenestration. >
  
  One of these days someone will actually die from falling in Russia but no one will believe it and instead waste time trying to figure why Putin would have wanted them dead. >
  
  No one commits suicide jumping off a 3rd floor balcony.  If you’re going to jump, you’re making damn sure you don’t survive in a horribly broken and traumatized condition.
  This was straight up murder by state-sponsored mafia.  Just like all the other prominent and wealthy Russians who’ve fallen off or out of stuff lately. >
  
  State-sponsored? Dude, government in russia IS the mafia. >
  
  Whoa hey.  Be careful there by the balcony. Youse never knows if an “accident” might happen. >
  
  You're Pavel Antov, the sausage king of Odhisha? 
  I'm suggesting that you leave before I have to get snooty. >
  
  Snooty? >
  
  Snotty! >
  
  Snotty? >
  
  Man, if I ever vacation in Russia I’m staying on the first floor of my hotel. They’ve got some serious problems with their windows and balconies.
  EDIT: Jesus Christ guys I realize it happened in India. Just enjoy the joke you nerds >
  
  Sir, you've been upgraded to the presidential suite. Enjoy the view from the balcony >
  
  Oh no that’s alright. I enjoy being the first one in line for the continental breakfast >
  
  Please enjoy our Novichok special omelettes, dear guest! >
  
  I hear the breakfast tea is to die for >
  
  polonium really gets you radiating that positive energy >
  
  Alpha particles, yummy >
  
  I prefer gamma radiation with my breakfast. >
  
  Look at this guy hulking out. >
  
  Hmm, what’s the autopsy on the friend say? Will they even do an autopsy? >
  
  "Putin had a beef with the meat man." >
  
  Putin’s guy took a fall for him. >
  
  At some point, Russia's tendency to assassinate people in other countries is gonna come back and bite them in the ass.
  People are going to start assuming that it is perfectly okay to assassinate Russian leaders within Russia, at some point. >
  
  Putin is quite paranoid.
  Remember him sitting way on the other side of that way, way, way too long table while meeting the French president. That's also how he meets with his own generals. 
  The AH knows how to kill others and tries to avoid it being done to him. >
  
  Well it isn't paranoia if a lot of people actually do want to kill you.
