Vladimir Egorov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was found dead on Wednesday, according to Russian state media. Tobolsk City Duma deputy Egorov, 46, a member of Putin’s ruling United Russia party, fell from the third floor window of a house on Kedrovaya Street in Tobolsk in the Tyumen Oblast, Russian Telegram channel Baza, which has links to Russian security services, reported. Russian daily newspaper Izvestia also cited a source as saying that Egorov could have fallen out of a third floor window. Newsweek couldn’t immediately verify the cause of Egorov’s death and has contacted Russia’s Foreign Ministry via email for comment. The press service of the Investigative Directorate for the Tyumen region told Russia’s state-run news agency RIA Novosti that investigators are “establishing all the circumstances of the incident.” Last year, Egorov became one of the richest deputies of Tobolsk, with his income amounting to 9.1 million rubles (about $100,500), Russian news outlet RBC reported on Thursday.

    Russian windows are just giant holes in the wall with no glass and every room has random banana peels thrown around. It’s the only explanation. Unless…

      No “unless”, that’s exactly what it is… unless you want to trip and fall out of a window.

        Or, and hear me out, the Russians developed a breed of super predator windows that seek out people (who just so happen to have annoyed the overlords), sneak up on them, gobble them up and shit them out the other side of the wall… just a theory.

        Reminds me of the first episode of The Continental: we kill your family and ruin them, or you locate the nearest balcony and we leave them alone.
