Top Russian economist dies after falling out of window
Several top Russian officials have plunged to their deaths from windows in recent years, including a top oil executive and a defense official.

Did windows/defenestration shit ever happen in Ukraine like before all the current stuff?
This happened in Moscow, Russia.
I know, I'm asking if this kinda thing was ever occurring in Ukraine prior to the war (people falling out of windows). It seems incredibly Russian
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.
Is it, or was it before the war? In Ukraine, like you're asking?
which makes this a strange community for it to be posted in.
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.
Agreed, Putin is worried about support at home and also needs people abroad to think Russia is strong and can continue the Kremlin's barbaric war. The economist didn't want to cook the books like Putin suggested, so they were murdered.
