Two Russian colonels are reported to have fallen out of windows in the space of two days, adding to a growing list of high-ranking officials who have died in mysterious circumstances since Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine began.
Artur Pryakhin, 56, the head of a regional branch of Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in the Republic of Karelia, died after falling from a fifth floor window of an office building at around noon on February 4.
Local authorities said he left a suicide note in his office in which he apologized to his wife, asked his loved ones for forgiveness, and urged them not to blame anyone for his death.

On the same day, in Moscow, the head of Russia's Investigative Committee Forensic Center plunged from a fourth floor window at his office building. Colonel Alexey Zubkov survived and was found conscious after avoiding serious injury, reported local news outlet MK.ru.
He claimed he went to the bathroom—the room from which he fell—but had no recollection of falling from the window. Zubkov was hospitalized, and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Avoided serious injury after falling four floors? I want to learn his secret. ;-)
I suppose that’s why Russia doesn’t have any faggot generals.
It is just the standard Russian retirement plan, most often given to poor performers to make room for new talent.
Nothing unusual for Russia.
...very important is the selection of housing styles if you desire to make a career in the Russian military or intelligence apparatus.
Ranch style housing is recommended.
It’s not the fall. It’s the sudden stop.
Yeah, it’s really annoying to those of us who can...[I’ll just slip out quietly}...
Colonel, USAF JAGC (Ret)
They must have some really lousy windows over there!....................
No mystery
Gravity works
Auto-defenestration seems epidemic over there. It reminds me of a certain M. Night Shyamalan movie.
A survivor of one of the famous "Defenestrations of Prague" had the good fortune to land in a manure pile.
Hey, I think the Ukes and the Ruskies are mostly all touched in the head.
That said, why didn’t these Moscow colonels see the obvious business opportunity? Colonel Zubkov’s Moscow Fried Chicken! “So good, your fingers will slip right off window sill!”
Oh my! Its raining colonels in Russia. Very sad.
