  Excuse me.
  It's so he can FALL out of it.

  Frankly a lot of people feel that if they were in Russia that they too would have a very strong urge to "fall" out of a window. It's not the greatest place to be these days.
  OTOH, Republicans like that falling feeling. They can complain about how Democrats built such weak windows. >
  
  All jokes aside, what's the point of killing someone in a position like this? Isn't this counter perductive? >
  
  It’s supposed to be a warning to the next guy in this job, and others in similar situations. 
  If this was indeed a public killing, it’s supposed to send a very public message to others who are similarly engaged in corruption that they will be killed as well. >

  Average male life expectancy in Russia is only 66 (a full 10 years less than women), which is about the age of this guy. Not saying that none of these recent deaths have been highly suspicious, just that middle-aged men die there at an alarming rate in general. >

  I often wonder why folks in Russia don’t view all these “sudden” deaths (usually from falling down stairs or out of windows) as planned murders from state actors who want these folks dead. 
  And then I realize that when Trump’s first wife fell down a flight of stairs and died suddenly in July…everyone in America was like “oh, what a tragic accident.”
  I guess folks will believe what they want to believe. >
  
  Do we have reason to believe Ivana's death wasn't an accident? (This is actually the first time I'm hearing that Ivana died at all, wtf) >
  
  Do we have reason to believe all the oligarchs and dissidents (and their family members) who fall off of roofs, out windows, down stairs, and get poisoned weren’t accidents?
  Point being…these 4 ways of dying are the hallmarks of Russian assassinations. Very oblivious “accidents” that always happen in the same 4 ways. 
  Trump is up to his fat tits with Russian intertwinement. And his first wife just died in the same manner that Russians use to get rid of troublemakers or dissidents.
  Here is a small list of incredibly wealthy Russian oligarchs (as well as a few doctors and other people) who died under mysterious circumstances, and you tell me of you think they are all accidents and suicide:
  
  
  Millionaire oligarch Sergey Protosenya was found hanging in a rented luxury villa in Spain on April 19 2022, according to Spanish TV channel Telecinco. His wife and 18-year-old daughter were also found dead in the apartment with stab wounds. Protosenya had a personal fortune of more than $433 million, according to Telecinco. 
  
  
  Vladislav Avayev, 51, was found dead of a gunshot wound in his Moscow apartment on April 18 2022, along with his wife and 13-year-old daughter, Russia's state-run TASS news agency reported. He was the former vice president of Gazprombank, a privately-owned subsidiary of Russian energy giant Gazprom.
  
  
  Vasily Melnikov was found dead in his apartment in Nizhny Novgorod, Russian newspaper Kommersant reported on March 23 2022. The billionaire was stabbed to death, as were his wife and two sons, aged 10 and 4. Knives, believed to be the murder weapons, were found at the scene, the outlet said.
  
  
  Ukrainian-born oligarch Mikhail Watford was found hanged in the garage of his home in Surrey, England, on February 28 2022, according to the BBC. Watford, in his 60s, was born in then-Soviet Ukraine and made his fortune in oil and gas. He moved to the UK in the early 2000s with his Estonian wife, the outlet said.
  
  
  Alexander Tyulyakov was found hanged in an apartment's garage near St. Petersburg on February 25 2022, according to the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta. Tyulyakov, 61, was an executive for Russian energy giant Gazprom, and the company is also investigating his death, per Gazeta.
  
  
  Another top Gazprom executive, Leonid Shulman, was found dead in a cottage in the same village in January 2022, before Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, according to Russian media company RBC.
  
  
  Alexander Subbotin, a former top executive of Russian oil company Lukoil, was found dead in a shaman's house in Mytishchi, Russia, according to Russian news agency TASS. A source told TASS that Subbotin had arrived at the house in severe alcohol and drug intoxication the day before and was found dead in the shaman's house in a room used for "Jamaican voodoo rituals."
  
  
  Ravil Maganov, the chairman of an oil company that criticized Russia's invasion of Ukraine, died after falling from a hospital window in August 2022. 
  
  
  In July 2022, Dan Rapoport, a 52-year-old Latvian-American investment banker and outspoken Putin critic, died after a fall from a luxury apartment building in Washington, D.C. (Rapoport's former business partner, Sergei Tkachenko, fell to his death from a Moscow apartment building in 2017.)
  
  
  In December 2021, Yegor Prosvirnin—the founder of nationalist website Sputnik and Pogrom—died after falling out of a window of a residential building in the center of Moscow.
  
  
  On October 19, 2021 a Russian diplomat was found dead after a fall from a window of the Russian embassy in Berlin, Der Spiegel reported.
  
  
  In late December 2020, Alexander "Sasha" Kagansky, a top Russian scientist reportedly working on a COVID-19 vaccine at the time, was found dead with a stab wound after falling from his high-rise apartment in St. Petersburg.
  
  
  Alexander Shulepov, an ambulance doctor in Voronezh, a city about 320 miles south of Moscow, was in serious condition after falling from a hospital window in 2020. Local state television, citing regional health officials, said he fell out of second-floor window of the Novousmanskaya hospital, where he worked and was receiving treatment after testing positive for coronavirus. Shulepov was hospitalized for coronavirus on April 22, the same day he and his colleague Alexander Kosyakin posted a video online saying that Shulepov had been forced to continue working after testing positive for coronavirus.
  
  
  On May 1 2020, Elena Nepomnyashchaya, the acting head doctor of a hospital in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, died after spending a week in intensive care, the regional department of the Health Ministry said in a statement. Local TV station TVK Krasnoyarsk reported at the time that Nepomnyashchaya allegedly fell out of a window during a meeting with regional health officials, during which they discussed turning the clinic into a coronavirus facility. Nepomnyashchaya was reported to have opposed those changes due to the lack of protective gear in the hospital. 
  
  
  On April 24, 2020, Natalya Lebedeva, head of the emergency medical service at Star City, the main training base for Russia's cosmonauts, died in a hospital after a fall. The hospital within the Federal Biomedical Agency, which says it treated her for suspected coronavirus, released a statement that "a tragic accident" occurred, without elaborating. >
  
  I know the Russian government has a habit of assassinating inconvenient people, but they all have factors that make them much more likely to have been assassinated vs. Ivana. I don't think it's beyond reason to assume that she was assassinated, but I consider it less likely than the alternative (being a true accident). 
  Most of these assassinations are much more suspect for how much easier they were to pull off. A vast majority of the killings happening in Russia itself where there is no external oversight, or in a Russian embassy where oversight is more limited. 
  There are a few that make me think it is possible that Ivana was assassinated: 
  
  
  Mikhail Watford (killed in England)
  
  
  Sergey Protosenya (killed along with his family in Spain)
  
  
  Dan Rapoport (killed in the U.S.)
  
  
  And maybe these, but these have a bit more doubt cast on them:
  
  
  Nikolai Mushegian (Puerto Rico; this one is weird because he seemed to think it was more likely that the U.S. or Mossad would kill him first? He aired his fears out on Twitter but did not consider that Putin might be more motivated to kill him.)
  
  
  Vyacheslav Taran (Possible aircraft sabotage took place in Switzerland, crashed in France; while unlikely, this could have been a genuine accident.)
  
  
  Alexander Buzakov (Died in France, but was a very easy target; he was poisoned when he "attended the float-out ceremony of the new Lada class submarine Velikie Luki", which is a submarine developed by the Russian government. Russia had an area of control there that did not seem to exist for the other killings.)
  
  
  Now, Trump might be inconvenient for Russia for several reasons, but "stepping out of line" isn't one of them. They don't have to scare him into doing their bidding because he is already doing their bidding constantly and he has no moral objections to doing so, and he hasn't ever gotten too big for his britches or criticized Putin in any way. As well, killing Ivana isn't going to grant any of her wealth to the Russian government, it will go to her children who are still alive. So if Ivana was murdered, the question is why? It would be a pretty difficult target to go after for such little gain. >
  
  Ivana fell down the stairs but had an elevator she used all the time, and didn't use the stairs due to her age and mobility. So it is extra odd she fell down them.
  The reason why the Kremlin takes people out is usually well after their usefulness or they know too much. The moment you stop your service to them, they disconnect the line. >
  
  
  Ivana fell down the stairs but had an elevator she used all the time, and didn't use the stairs due to her age and mobility. 
  
  No, this is not true. 
  
  
  Her children and remaining friends (not everyone stayed loyal to her after her ex-husband became the kind of president he became) hated those stairs. Old skiing accidents and a more recent hip injury — she fell at one of her go-to restaurants, Avra Madison Estiatorio — had rendered “Glam-ma,” as she liked her grandchildren to call her, increasingly wobbly. She ignored her friends’ and family’s pleas to sell the townhouse and move into a hotel suite. They feared she would slip and fall down those stairs and hurt herself. At some point in the past few years, her kids bought her one of those emergency “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” devices, but she refused to wear it.
  
  
  Every year, over 32,000 senior citizens die of falls. I don't see any reason that Ivana Trump wasn't simply one more sad statistic. >
  
  It is very possible it was just an accident. However the timing was sus, when Trump's were being contacted by DOJ/FBI about the insurrection, impeachments, tax dodging and all the other cases. If they saw she was contacted, they might have just made it one of the more plausible ways to go.
  Ivana was 73, that is actually pretty young for older women even if she was wobbly. She also had a helper that stayed with her and this was one of her days off.
  Bunch of sketch mixed with plausible accident, that is where the Kremlins live. The probability of foul play is high.
  Another motive was Trump had to have actual bodies buried on his golf course to get the cemetery tax protections, he made a bunch of plots there and she is now buried there. Without her dying he could have lost that "benefit". >
  
  Sometimes people do suddenly die >
  
  He killed himself with two bullets in the bqck of his head after he jumped from a window. >
  
  Tragic, really.
  So disturbed the note he left wasn't even in his handwriting. >
  
  Punishment for the sunken aircraft carrier catching fire? >
  
  Cant sink if you take it out of the water *taps head >
  
  Oddly, that's how it sunk.
  They put it in a floating dry dock, and it sunk.
  A 70 ton crane collapsed on the flight deck. Punching a huge hole through it. >
  
  60 is old for the typical vodka swilling Russian >
  
  I know that liver failure is a leading cause of people falling from balconies >
  
  Many a Russian has died from liver failure and fallen through a window >
  
  Stuck in a torpedo tube and had to launch him to get him to safety >
  
  He fell out a window, or touched a door knob? >
  
  He probably just fell down an elevator shaft onto some bullets. >
  
  Defenestration. Slowly becoming #1 sport in Ruzzia. >
  
  Dying suddenly seems to be the most common form of death for Russians  these days. >
  
  Poor sod, fell out of a submarine window >
  
  Never go higher than the second floor. >
  
  Devils advocate here. Maybe he was just old >
  
  Russia should declare a war on stairs. And open windows. >
  
  He was like that when we got here... >
  
  “Police have begun questioning local area windows, but as of yet, no leads have been found.” >
  
  "I have special mission for you, take ship middle of sea, only you, this is secret mission"

  "Two ships have been detained for questioning." >
  
  Fuck it, I'm feeling brave. Time to take a shot for every stupid "suicide by window" or "suicide by bullets to back of the head" joke I see here. >
  
  U ded >
  
  Welcome to the Russian Defenestration. >
  
  And more to come maybe sooner or later one will slip through the cracks get you! >
  
  No one can know about those secret compartments. >
  
  His he blow over in strong winds and sink? >
  
  Guess the pressure was too much for him, and imploded. >
  
  Gravity strikes again. >
  
  Did he fall out of a one story building? Commit suicide by poisoning? >
  
  Acute case of thrown out a window >
  
  Hmm.  Was there a window involved? >
  
  Good, I hope to hear of more dead Russians >
  
  Probably unwanted government-assisted suicide >
  
  I bet he committed suicide like all the other russian business owners do. By shooting himself in the back of the head. Twice. >
  
  Portholes are easy to fall out of >
  
  In Russian accent - The cause of death, is uhh death. >
  
  At this point is more surprising dying of old age or a known cause in Russia >
  
  TASS released update with further details indicating Buzakov succumbed to injuries incurred from falling out a porthole... >
  
  Open Window Fall Syndrome.... happens all the time. >
  
  hey guys i may be the dumbest person on reddit today but im starting to notice some kind of pattern >
  
  He was suffering from a bad case of disease called “bullet in a head” >
  
  Jeez, I hope the window he fell out of is ok >
  
  Acute gravityitis is a bitch apparently >
  
  Fell off the pier which was on the 9th floor of the hospital. >
  
  Apology accepted, Captain Nita >
  
  This is why Russians have been so good at hockey. They have experience in sudden death. >
  
  I was going to say gravity, because Russia, but lack of bouyancy is also suddenly fatal. >
  
  Too many ships not resistant enough to being turned into submarines in the Black Sea. >
  
  Defenestration? Quite common cause of mortality in Russia. >
  
  I just had a picture in my head of a one story building that Russian's get taken into, and then in the back room they fall out a window because the building was built on a cliff, like From Dusk til Dawn. >
  
  Oh yipee. This story again, and it's groundhog day with the same jokes in the comments. >
  
  In Soviet Russia joke tells you. >
  
  Poisoned or fell out a window? >
  
  Why not both? >
  
  When no one believes your “fell out a window” story anyway, so you just stop trying. >
  
  Russian accent, “Da..he fall out da window, perfectly normal accident, could happen to anyone” >
  
  And often does! >
  
  Did he share a cell with Jeffrey Epstein? >
  
  Putin running out of ideas for how to spin an obvious mob kill >
  
  Let me guess. Did the cause of his death start with a V and end with an X? >
  
  Another brazen window attack, probably. >
  
  No cause given but we all know stairs or a window were involved. >
  
  Let me guess, he committed heart attack down the stairs? >
  
  Last seen smoking near a window with FSB agents asking him for a light. >
  
  Window or smoking accident only two choices for these guys. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 >
  
  It was an accident, he drowned in a lift, than two tigers came and ate his corpse. >
  
  Working for Putin sure gives people short lifespans! >
  
  sounds like a case of not so rare Putinitis, always fatal! >
  
  Likely another case of death due to the Putin Syndrome. >
  
  Fell in the water and drowned. If only he hadn’t worn those concrete boots! >
  
  You can drown in one table spoon of water...
  Wiki >
  
  Was there a 10th story window anywhere to be seen? >
  
  Polonium tea? Cyanide cookies?
  Drunken fall through the window? 
  Cheddar Bob himself on the head?
  Who knows.
  Putin is very creative... >
  
  Merry Christmas … Love, Putin >
  
  Anyone who dies in russia is the fault of the Kremlin, case closed >
  
  I bet he fell out of a window >
  
  It definitely involved either stairs or a window >
  
  They gotta keep those windows closed, sheesh >
  
  Could happen if the front fell off. Inside the environment. >
  
  Landed on a couple of bullets so naturally he suddenly died. >
  
  Putin apologists: Another one murdered by the VAXX!!! >
  
  And? Not a big deal happens all the time and easily replaced. Tired of propaganda about some meaningless war lol. >
  
  Its always suicide in cases like this >
  
  He has gone on an special sea floor operation to resupply the Moskova with buns and sausages for Christmas. >
  
  Heart failure, of course.
  "In the end, all forms of death can be classified as heart failure." >
  
  Was it gravity or polonium? Or a combination of the two? >
  
  It’s be”cause” Putin hates him >
  
  Putin actually fears other Russians much more than NATO. This war is to cement his status within Russia. A popular leader who wins wars is safe from a coup. He's fucked now haha >
  
  It’s always a mystery >
  
  They run out of excuses on the list and forget to add loop function to start from beginning. >
  
  Sudden fall from a closed window is the best way to die. >
  
  His house caught fire and sank, then a crane fell on it. >
  
  Wonder what he did to piss off putin. >
  
  Are not KGB agents taught defenestration techniques? Seems better than just dying suddenly. >
  
  In Linux we call it "Segmentation fault". >
  
  Guess sudden death syndrome is making a comeback in Russia. >
  
  Fell out of screen door on submarine.
  [вляать intensifies] >
  
  He drown in his own soup >
  
  Russians and windows do not match well >
  
  Any clues as to why he was killed? As punishment for corruption? To prevent him from ratting about corruption? As punishment for ratting about corruption? To give his position to someone more willing to engage in corruption? >
  
  This was a plot for one of the starwars right? >
  
  Tripped over one of his ships is what I'm hearing >
  
  It was probably accidentally falling out of a window backwards, after accidentally mistaking polonium for tea and mistakenly shooting himself in the back of the head 9 times. >
  
  The only submarine with a window and he clumsily fell out it. Pfft. >
  
  People die when they are killed
