Putin Ally Found Dead After Falling From Third-Floor Window: Reports

[Swede]

One of the leading causes of early death in Russia.

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.

1. Scientists continue to be mystified by strange effects of gravity on Russians

[eppur_se_muova]

2. Only the third floor this time? Putin's budget must really be hurting. nt

[Hotler]

6. Yeah, what's up with that? I thought 7th floor was their go to. nt

[GiqueCee]

44. Defenestration...

... saves on ammunition that could be used in Ukraine, and tossing the offender from greater heights might allow the falling body to reach terminal velocity, resulting in a much bigger mess. Clean up in aisle 5.
Given the frequency of such mishaps, Russia must have an agency devoted solely to that unenviable task.

[grumpyduck]

53. I love that word "defenestration."

Don't get to use it all that often, but I do when I can.

[GiqueCee]

67. It was the preferred method of disposal...

... in Venice when it was a city/state. Didn't pay to piss off the Doge.

[barbtries]

57. not only that,

but he might survive from the 3rd floor. possibly he was dropped head first or was dead before being defenestrated.

[Attilatheblond]

33. Maybe, since he was an 'ally'

Putin showed mercy and didn't want him to have too long to think about the landing.

[hay rick]

40. And the family can still have an open casket funeral. That's what friends are for.

[Sanity Claws]

54. If he was really a Putin ally, then someone else was responsible

I wouldn't be surprised if there is infighting among the oligarchs and this was a message to Putin.

[Old Crank]

56. Probably 4th floor

Here we start with ground floor then the first floor. I live on the 3rd floir. 4th floor US.

[IjustDontlikeRepugs]

3. Russia sure does have a lot of window cancer.

Just the 3rd floor? They are getting lazy.

[getagrip_already]

8. The third floor works fine when your head has already hit a hammer...

The fall is just an artful finish at that point, and since most buildings don't have elevators, why carry the body up all those stairs?

Putins allies get the message. Don't ask for whom the window opens, it opens for thee.

[IjustDontlikeRepugs]

10. That's right. Work smarter not harder.

[underpants]

30. Yeah I was going to comment "third floor"?

They have to have taller buildings for him to fall out if. 3 floors, you could very well survive that*. You’d be busted up but….

* unless you were already dead

[CTyankee]

11. a new form of cancer indeed, called "defenestration." Popular is some European countries for a while...

[RKP5637]

38. No elevator, I guess.

[louis-t]

60. Possibly, the victim was called to the 3rd floor location

for a "very important meeting".

[RKP5637]

68. You'll be back on the ground floor in no time.

[tanyev]

4. I don't think there's any chance Donny would consider fleeing to Russia.

He wouldn't last very long there.

[Traildogbob]

5. No windows are

Big enough for his ass. Putty would poison the chocolate cake and cheeseberders.

[Lonestarblue]

12. A little polonium tea would work.

[Traildogbob]

15. With Diet Coke.

But being as toxic as he is, he may be immune. I worry about bystanders. Not a good idea standing under windows on the streets.

[Sogo]

59. I've read that the reason he wants to eat fast food all the time is because

he doesn't have to worry about being poisoned with it (other than the food itself!)....The preparers wouldn't know who it's being prepared for.

[Jarqui]

31. Can you imagine trying to get him through a window? ...nt

[Sky Jewels]

50. There's a major obstruction to overcome...

His ass.

[LakeArenal]

61. 215......

[Sky Jewels]

69. Yes, a svelt 215. Also, Jon Lovitz is married to, uhh, Morgan Fairchild...

[Sky Jewels]

48. Plus most of his favorite fast food joints don't operate there anymore.

I think Burger King is the main one still sticking around. But Donnie Fucko likes his Mickey D's hamberders, as well as his KFC bucket o' grease.

[dweller]

7. Key to longevity in Russia

A ranch house
🤔


✌🏻

[moniss]

21. Perhaps

a basement apartment.

[underpants]

29. 😆😆😆

Russian intelligence reports he fell out of a first story window. All medical evaluations have been completed. No other causes possible. First floor fall. That’s it.

[dweller]

43. The OP says third floor window

Perhaps he was dropped from first floor window 3 times …
🤔



✌🏻

[brush]

9. Heehee. Here we go again. Apparently the victim fell out of Putin's favor as well.

Funny how those two things are connected.

And Pootie, couldn't you be a little less obvious? Maybe the poisoning route...oh, no, no, that's played out too, pretty damn obvious as well.

Apparent suicide with a gun can always be staged...just one shot though, don't make that suicide with two shots mistake again.

Don't you send people to the gulags anymore? I mean they won't be dead, but they're off the scene forever.

[bdamomma]

17. Have you heard the news recently

about Navalny his political opponent?

https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-navalny-arctic-polar-wolf-prison/32749723.html?

[brush]

20. You're right. That's about equivalent to a gulag.

Navalny is a pretty tough cookie. The poisoning didn't get him so Pootie revived the old routine.

[dmr]

47. Thanks for the link

I just can't imagine being forced to exist in such horrid, abusive conditions. Brrrrr ....

[Buckeyeblue]

13. Could this be part of a quiet coup?

Get rid of Putin's allies until you can get to Putin. He has to know that his days are coming to an end.

[bdamomma]

27. Coming to end???

I do hope so.

[MontanaMama]

14. Amazing how Russians take to the air, isn't it?

[Igel]

26. Yes.

They listened to "Fly Like an Eagle" but heard "fly like a beagle."

[yardwork]

36. I laughed out loud!

Terrible but true!

[AZLD4Candidate]

16. I see falling to one's death is still death by natural causes in Russia.

[tavernier]

18. And the only thing these millionaires had in common

was that they left all their money to Putin in their wills.
With such little information, it will be hard to consider foul play.

[moniss]

19. Perhaps this was a new part of

the Russian cosmonaut training to prepare for an "early departure from vehicle" impact landing on another planet. A whole new meaning to "low Earth orbit" perhaps? Or maybe it is an attempt by the Russians to test the Eloon/Tesla theory that there is no harm caused by car doors flying open and throwing out the passengers.

[ck4829]

22. Ah, the window. A Russian's natural enemy.

[InstantGratification]

25. Windows

are the apex predator in Russia.

[yardwork]

37. This thread is hilarious.

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. If he was an "ally of Putin", maybe someone is sending Uncle Poots a message... nt

[Evolve Dammit]

24. "former" ally; now deceased due to another unfortunate accident...

[Midnight Writer]

28. Hope all the American oligarchs supporting Trump and his Project 2025 are paying attention and learning.

You give a power-mad, petty, hate-filled lunatic total power and you will yourself be at the mercy of his whims and rages.

[IbogaProject]

32. They are hard drinkers

So it adds an element of mystery.

[90-percent]

34. Question

I'm too lazy to do my own research. Anybody got a list of worldwide Putin suspected assasinations?.

.thanks, DU mates,,

-90% Jimmy

[Attilatheblond]

35. If one is looking for a career with lasting potential, and one doesn't mind cold weather

It would seem Russia has a market for window glaziers

[RKP5637]

39. And installing break away windows, give them a push and they fall, You know, just for fires.

[ms liberty]

41. Dear Goddess, this whole thread is a DU'zy!

[Tommy Carcetti]

42. Tale as old as time. nt

[SouthernDem4ever]

45. Thanks for the laughs everyone!

[Ford_Prefect]

46. As if the five bullet holes weren't warning enough to others...

[yagotme]

73. He FELL out the window,

and, unluckily, LANDED on the five bullets...

[Ford_Prefect]

74. They are nothing if not thorough in the special services.

[yagotme]

75. Actually, that is from an old Mafia joke.

"What happened to him?"
"It was a suicide. He jumped out the window, and landed on three bullets,"

[Ford_Prefect]

76. One mafia is much like another, no?

Birds of a feather, they say.

[yagotme]

77. Yup, pretty much. nt

[GreenWave]

49. I am sort of thinking a third floor fall is not nexessarily fatal.

Broken bones of course. Unless he decided to launch himself head first and with great force.

[hadEnuf]

51. Putin practices open murder. This guy must have crossed him.

This is what Trump and his ilk worship.

[Sogo]

52. I live about 1 1/2 hour drive from the Pella Window factory in Pella, Iowa.

Can't help but think Russia needs better quality windows....

[AllaN01Bear]

55. what is this thing about 3d floor windows ? a friend of mine has this little song,

"gravity flows down hill" in a southern accent. hem too convinent.

[sakabatou]

58. Lot of people falling from high places...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

62. Who is surprised by this?

[dweller]

63. For one

Egorov


✌🏻

[canetoad]

64. If this person

Was truly a Putin ally, is someone sending Vlad a message?

[Initech]

65. Yeah sure, he "fell". Right.

With Putin, everything is highly suspect.

[ProfessorGAC]

66. Hmmm!

An open window in Russia in the winter.
Nothing suspicious here!

[flvegan]

70. Should've chosen the stairs. n/t

[Mr. Sparkle]

71. Windows, the no. 1 killer of Russian elites

How many of these guys have to die before they organize a coup.

[ecstatic]

72. Is that putin's work or is someone prepping for a coup attempt?

Nikolai Patrushev helped kill Prigozhin. Maybe he's trying to clear the deck for a takeover.

The assassination of the warlord was two months in the making and approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s oldest ally and confidant, an ex-spy named Nikolai Patrushev, according to Western intelligence officials and a former Russian intelligence officer. The role of Patrushev as the driver of the plan to kill Prigozhin hasn’t been previously reported.

Second thought, I'm glad I don't live in a country where you can be tossed out of a window for stepping out of line or bruising someone's ego.

Third thought: Oh, but I kind of do live in a country like that. Just that our issues are resolved by gun, at least with us little people. Elites resolve their disputes in other ways. They're not killed or executed over disagreements.

4th thought: Someone needs to invent discreet, wearable parachutes for Russians.

5th and final thought: A parachute wouldn't deploy fast enough.

[Takket]

78. I think "FORMER" Putin ally is probably better phrasing here lol

[Hekate]

79. Did he bash his head against the wall repeatedly? That can be very disorienting, hence the "fall"

[WiVoter]

80. Did He Abandon Poisoning?

Seemed like that used to be his modus operandi.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

81. Someone should warn the Putineers in the House and Senate.

[SouthernDem4ever]

82. Not to worry - they always obey Putin.
