isn't even hiding it. Being tossed out a high rise window is Putin's signature move.

A former Russian oil executive has been found dead after apparently falling from the window of his Moscow flat.
Mikhail Rogachev was found outside his 10th-story apartment in Moscow with injuries consistent with a fall, Russian media reported.
Russian news agencies said authorities were treating his death as a suicide.
Telegram channels close to the Russian security services said his body was discovered by an agent of the SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service, who was walking the dog of a senior spymaster in the building’s courtyard on Saturday morning.
The 64-year-old was a former vice-president of Yukos, the oil giant that was broken up and after its billionaire owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky was imprisoned after challenging Vladimir Putin.
He went on to work as executive director of the Onexim group, oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov’s investment vehicle, and later deputy general director of Norilsk Nickel, a mining giant.
He is the latest of nearly a dozen Russian energy executives to die in mysterious circumstances over the past two years.
I mean, fuck the capitalist oligarchy that is post Soviet Russia, but soulless oil executives dying will always be funny.
Gotta love how western media cries and shits their pants over billionaires, CEOs, corrupt politicians and blatant western political interference-NGOs getting their just desserts in other countries tbh. Like as if anyone with sense (sadly less common than it should be) would have sympathy.
They are constantly crying how "Russia is controlled by oligarchs" but at the same time how FSB defenestrate them every now and then.
I enjoy executives dying. It is my favorite occurrence. When an executive "falls" out a window, I think to myself "yes". When an executive finalizes a merger, I think to myself "no".
Hell, my signature move has always been falling into windows, no joke, but I am no executive

I thought it was grenade mishaps mid-flight
Gravity is tricky over there I think. Everyone always falling out windows and all.

idk. he fell from the window, and the sudden stop on the hard floor made him dead. doesnt seem particularly mysterious to me

I love both possibilities of this --- that this was the way of security services in general to show their adjacency without implicating themselves and the domestic intelligence services directly, as a message to others --- or that this foreign intelligence agent was legitimately walking his boss' dog and was like "what --- oh god damn it"
How many people have "fallen out" of windows just in 2024 alone, it surely has to be double digits now?
Well Czechs aren't doing this anymore so the idea was just there, gathering dust.

So I guess he got killed for collaborating with foreign countries and risking national security?
He certainly went....one direction.
The actual one direction dude died in Argentina and fell 3 floors.
