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.

In Soviet Russia, you don’t go to window. Window come to you!
all those folks pushing people out windows to their deaths i imagine will wind up in hell with an eternal experience of falling to their death, repeatedly, forever-
It’s the slick bird poop on the sills - they’ll getcha every time.
This isn’t real, is it? Putin gets mad at somebody and the next thing, that somebody “falls out a window?” And, it’s never a window on the first floor. It’s always ten stories high.
Zelensky has banned opposition parties and media outlets, imprisoned religious leaders and burned down churches.
Ukraine has rounded up conscripts like cattle and sent them to their deaths on the frontlines.
AND, US TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR ALL THAT WITH YOUR SUPPORT.
You and those backing the war in Ukraine are every bit as hypocritical as leftists and Democrats.

Gonzalo Lira, a Chilean-American war commentator known for his critical views on the Zelensky regime and Russia-Ukraine conflict, passed away on January 11, 2024, in a hospital in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Lira's death followed an eight-month imprisonment on charges of ”justifying Russia's military actions in Ukraine”, sparking international controversy and raising questions about freedom of speech and human rights during wartime.
Gonzalo Lira gained notoriety in 2022 as a vocal critic of what he perceived as increasing authoritarianism in Ukraine. Lira saw the conflict as a proxy war waged by US against Russia and critisised the loss of life for a futile and unwindable war.
His arrest in May 2023, under the charges of "production and dissemination of materials justifying Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine," was a turning point. It not only highlighted the complexities of war-time free speech but also catalysed opposition movements against US funding for the conflict. High-profile figures like tech mogul Elon Musk and Fox News host Tucker Carlson called for his release, bringing global attention to his case.
The news of Lira's deteriorating health emerged from communications between his father, Gonzalo Lira Sr., and the US embassy. Documents and emails revealed attempts by Lira Sr. to alert the embassy about his son's critical condition and the lack of transparency from Ukrainian authorities regarding his health status.
“I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son,” Lira Sr. stated in an email announcing the news.
“The responsibility of this tragedy is [with] the dictator Zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe Biden,” he wrote, adding: “My pain is unbearable. The world must know what is going on in Ukraine with that inhuman dictator Zelensky.”
In a poignant hand written note, Lira described his health ordeal, including double pneumonia, pneumothorax, and severe oedema. This letter, believed to be his last written correspondence, detailed the neglect he faced in prison. Despite these alarming symptoms, proper medical attention was reportedly delayed until it was too late.
1st floor apartments are at a premium
In the old USSR days it was “has cold”
And I’m free, free falllllllin’

Only fools rush in
But I can’t help

It seems that, in Russia at least, the term “broken windows policing” has lethal connotations.
