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.

RE: Death by suicide
Hmmmm.... Andrei Badalov is the eighth senior Russian figure since 2022 to die by falling from an apartment. This mode of suicide seems to be the preferred method by Russian elites.... unless....
You would think that someone in the former Soviet Union would come up with another way to fake assassination, just to make it more interesting.

It’s been a bad week for Russian elites. There has been a spate of real or apparent suicides and the arrest of a gold magnate as he prepared to leave the country.
On Friday, Andrei Badalov, vice president of Transneft, Russia’s largest state-controlled pipeline transport company, fatally fell from the window of his apartment in Moscow. This makes him the eighth senior Russian figure to die in this way since 2022.
Hey, if it ain’t broke.....
I’d get a basement place if I was them
The only home in Russia that would be safe from this kind of accident is a basement home with nothing above ground!
There was a young fellow named Fisher
Who was fishing for fish in a fissure;
Then a cod with a grin
Pulled the fisherman in ...
Now they’re fishing the fissure for Fisher.
The only thing worse than fishing tragedy, is 1st floor defenestration tragedy.
There a distinct lack of creativity among Russians seeking their own demise.
He fell three feet to his death from a first floor window and shot himself in the back of the head 4 times in this suicide.
[the band members have just thrown the hotel bellboy out the window]
Blood: What floor are we on?
Dr. Johnny Fever: Ground floor.
Blood: Pity!
He had incriminating evidence about political figures in Arkansas
and with his hands tied!
Living in a basement in Russia, even if you fall up, you die.
