Darn. Wasn’t the Economist I was hoping it would be.
Except for children and the elderly, fatal falls from windows are not all that common it would seem. Most places.
I mean, yeah.
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 🤔
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.
More likely she braced her fall with her skull, but her neck muscles were inadequate to the task of keeping her alive. I think Russians need to start putting in cybernetic shock absorbers.
I just wanted to give an example of an injury incompatible with life. /u/[email protected] thankfully linked the Wikipedia article onto the definition of the fixed term. From the linked Wikipedia article total body disruption might be a possible trauma caused by
a fall at terminal velocity onto a solid surface or water [.]
The injury you suggested probably doesn’t count yet, as it’s not ‘evident’ enough to be incompatible with life.
Worst case of being cut in half I’ve ever seen
They need to spice these up, it’s getting repetitive. How about “Pavement suddenly accelerates upwards, killing top Russian economist; police blame window.”
It’s a pandemic at this point.
She must not have said the sweet nothings Putin wanted to hear.
That window just jumped right out in front of her!
In Soviet Russia: window smash you!

That will teach the economy.
Executions will continue until GDP improves.
Did windows/defenestration shit ever happen in Ukraine like before all the current stuff?
Its not a Ukrainian thing at all, its the Kremlin.
It’s tangential to the war in Ukraine. Russia has been accused recently of reporting false economic numbers to hide the war’s impact.
This happened in Moscow, Russia.
I know, I’m asking if this kinda thing was ever occurring in Ukraine (people falling out of windows). It seems incredibly Russian
Is it, or was it before the war? In Ukraine, like you’re asking?
The USSR were high on assassinations of their own people if that’s what you’re asking. Obviously it’s not a brilliant strategy because it just means that the people who are the most talented are going to not want to rise to the top or going to want to the rise to the top in other countries.
It’s ultimately self-defeating, which of course is why only Putin thinks it’s a swell idea.
Poisoned tea wasn’t available in her region apparently
Cheaper to pay an fsb agent to push out a window
Golly, they sure do make flimsy windows in Russia.
Every time I’m near a window I look behind me to make sure a Russian is not there.
Just say “Wow. Putin sure is a swell guy.” before you approach.
