This plays into cliche.

People commit suicide here too.

Some people die under suspicious circumstanced here too.

“Starovoit’s dismissal comes at a time of significant challenges for Russia’s transport sector as the war in Ukraine drags on for a fourth year.

Russia’s aviation sector is short of spare parts and Russian Railways, the country’s largest employer, is grappling with soaring interest costs as high rates - needed to curb higher inflation exacerbated by the war - take their toll.”

When Putin fires you, he really fires you.

A trick he picked up from Stalin.
