Usually they get yeeted out of windows, good to see they're changing it up, keeping it fresh
Should check out the podcast "Sad Oligarch" it's about the rash of Russian oligarchs and such throwing themselves out of windows, and killing their families then themselves.
I recommend it as well. It's not just people falling out of windows, they use all kinds of methods to get rid of people they don't like.
That's the thing, see. A bullet. It is known he was murdered.
Somewhere in the Kremlin someone is thinking that this was entirely without style. So blunt. Barbarous. When a man falls from a window it is ... an accident.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Ukraine, someone is thinking "Style be damned, this was a message."
They will continue to disagree about which method is best regardless of specific situation and intended subtlety until one of them is shot or falls out of a window.
