Valentina Bondarenko, a top Russian economist, has died at the age of 82 after falling out of her apartment window in Moscow, Russian state-run media reported on Tuesday.

Bondarenko, a leading research fellow at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, fell out of her apartment window on Monday evening, emergency services told news agency Tass.

"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.

“I should have used my sarcasm tag.”

LOL! Nice one.

There’s so much gaslighting here by Government Operatives who, among other things, can tell us with certainty what Russian short-term objectives are (like seizing Kharkiv, etc.) and also claim the ability to read Putin’s mind. So I simply ask them to back up their claims. Sometimes they send out links to Westerners who claim to be able to read Putin’s mind (LOL), but usually they just get pissed at being called out.

But I didn’t recognize your name, so I gave you the benefit of the doubt by my comment, as I wouldn’t put it past that bunch.

Russia needs to figure out how to make those windows more safe.

[At 82...wouldn’t be surprised if it was a suicide.]

Is it still "defenestration" if you throw yourself out of the window, or must you have had "help"?

Russia’s Defenestration Administration.

Only slightly more evil than the Federal Bureau of Instigation...

When putting new replacement windows, in your home or business, make sure to NEVER, ever, ever use a new window that has a “made in Russia” on the tag. Apparently they are known to be defective?

“Incompatible with life.” Is that the same as “metaphysically challenged?”

The advantage of defenestration is that no weapon is required, while the signs of a beating or torture are disguised by injuries from the fall.
