Putin's enemies keep falling out of high windows in Russia - it's no accident
Express US ^ | 8/28/2025 | Michael Evans, Brigid Brown

In the last 30 months, an estimated 17 Russian officials, politicians, businessmen and leading figures in the arts have died after falling from high windows.

The window on the fifth floor of a building in the historic city of Petrozavodsk in northwestern Russia was wide open when the figure of a man appeared briefly, before plunging to the ground. This was followed by Putin enforcing a "blanket ban" on social media apps from enemy countries.

The mangled body of former police colonel, Artur Pryakhin, head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in the republic of Karelia, was hauled off to the morgue and was recorded as suicide by the Russian authorities.

In the West, it is understood that Russian officials who fall out of favor with the Kremlin should not stand by open windows in high buildings, reports Daily Express UK.

Pryakhin, whose death was registered in February, was one of an estimated 17 Russian officials, politicians, businessmen and leading figures in the arts whose death followed similar falls from high windows in the last 30 months alone.

While the authorities were generally quick to blame suicide or accidental deaths, open-window syndrome has become part of the lexicon of terror in a country where the rule of obedience and loyalty is rigidly enforced from the Kremlin.

A more important subject is Ukraine putting command posts in apartment buildings and when they get hit they call it a “terror attack on civilians.”

OK, but that’s no reason for the USA to stay involved in the Ukraine.

Defenestration - When a door is closed, a window is opened.

Grok in response to my inquiry: “approximately **2,400-5,150 Americans** die annually from jumping (suicide) or falling (accidental or unknown) from building structures.”

Russia has a far smaller population. Still, I found these statistics to be interesting point of comparison / background.

These aren't your average Ivan falling out of a window, they are top Russian business or government bureaucrats.

The invasion of Ukraine was, by definition, a massive terrorist attack on civilians.
