Andrei Badalov, the vice-president of Russia's national oil pipeline, Transneft, has been found dead after allegedly falling out of a window of his home in suburban Moscow, law enforcement told Russian state media on Friday.

The former businessman's body was discovered beneath a window of a house in Rublyovka, an upscale residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of the Russian capital, TASS, Russia's national news agency, says.

The state-run oil conglomerate also confirmed Badalov's death, without elaborating on the circumstances, but said his work came during a “difficult and stressful period” due to wartime sanctions, according to the independent Russian newspaper, The Moscow Times. Badalov had served as Transneft’s vice-president since 2021.

TASS says law enforcement officers told the agency that the deceased had left a farewell note and that preliminary findings suggest his cause of death was suicide.

Russia needs to send a bunch of windows to Ukraine.

Word of the day: “defenestration”

[Leaning Right]

I’m not a Russian big shot. But if I were, I’d insist on living in a first-floor apartment. Oh, and I’d praise Comrade Putin every chance I got.

That too.

[clee1]

Arkancide.

[null and void]

Who tries to commit suicide by jumping out of a ground floor window?

[henkster]

I knew that was coming.

I’d get a basement place if I was them

[Zathras]

Yep!
The FBI has probably already ruled it a suicide.

[Secret Agent Man]

See, now this is normal. They typically do the staged suicide by falling out a window.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well the backup staged suicide way is a shot to the head. Basement apt wont help.

According to the MSM, George Floyd was a loving father and beloved pillar of the community, when he was brutally executed by racist police

My point being, don’t believe everything you read, especially when we know nothing else about the subject. Most of the media we see only exists to enforce a narrative, and propagandize you

[adorno]

And he lived on the first floor.

actually, it was a basement window. ;)

[KingofZion]

Beat me to it.

Defenestration has been the preferred method of murder in Russia for decades, followed closely by poisoning.

Of course Prigozhin got the royal treatment with an airplane explosion.

Russia needs to send a bunch of windows to Ukraine.

Actually, Ukraine is causing all those Russian falls from windows. Putin has made sure his windows are all on the ground floor, and 'unopenable' and guarded by thousands of Russian troops without weapons, and who are each paid a million dollars per year.

[GaryCrow]

I sense another $5 million “consulting fee” opportunity for Hillary Clinton to advise the Russians on more creative ways to commit suicide.

[adorno]

Arkancide.

Reports are that, Hillary was there to supervise the 'fall'.

There seems to be a lot of that going on in Russia these days.

[noiseman]

The only home in Russia that would be safe from this kind of accident is a basement home with nothing above ground!

Nope. Then they’d just be “found” dead after “falling down the stairs.”
