A Russian singer accused of donating to the Ukraine army and calling President Vladimir Putin an “idiot” fell to his death from a window this week — just moments after authorities raided his apartment.

Vadim Stroykin, 58, plunged to his death from the 10th floor of his St. Petersburg apartment building on Wednesday after cops came to interrogate him about the alleged donations and other claims of extremism, local news outlet Fontanka reported.

Authorities said the British-educated musician and radio host was last seen alive when he went to his kitchen to get water during the police search, according to the outlet.

Defenestration appears to be a go-to method in Russia.

I do like the way european windows, based on handle position, will open on the side or the top. I didn’t realize how dangerous they were though.

When Putin said that he could be in Kiev in two weeks, he did not count on the Ukrainians locking their windows.

In America, you get windows blue screen of death...

In Russia, you get falling out of window death

[Jonty30]

The Russians should really abandon the idea that buildings should be sloped 45 degrees. It seems to result in a lot of coincidental deaths.

I feel for the guy but it’s starting to get to be an SNL skit

[dowcaet]

These Russian critics of Putin all seem to suffer from a lack of coordination when they’re in high places, don’t they?

[Red Badger]

They need window reform........

100,000% tariff on Russian windows and balconies.

Note to self: when in Russia insist on a ground floor apartment or hotel room.

“Window treatments” — it’s a relative term.
