Did he criticize Boeing, or was this just regular russian mafia stuff

There's a difference?

I wish a few words were removed.

~~Vice~~ President of Russia ~~n energy company~~ dies 'suddenly' of suicide

[–] Beryl@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As far as I'm concerned you can strike 'of suicide' too

[–] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

And suddenly

The poor, desperate man beat himself up, then bound his hands behind his back, knelt to the ground, and shot himself in the back of the head five times, before throwing himself out of a window. Such a tragic Russian suicide.

Tbf I rather die than live in Russia too

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Better than dying gradually of suicide?

[–] Tiptopit@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean, some people get suicided out of a window, which ist still better than being suicided by torture...

[–] photoncollector@mastodon.social 2 points 5 months ago

@Tiptopit @Nougat
It's not suicide. It's just clumsiness.

A lot of that going round lately.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Did he shoot himself in the back of the head four times?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And then threw himself out a window.

[–] photoncollector@mastodon.social 3 points 5 months ago

@ikidd @ohlaph
In Russia the window comes to you.

[–] ajcolson@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

It seems this will get played off as if catching a case of "suicide" is like having a head cold. How far off the mark would some official statement about it be from: "This is a totally normal occurrence and happens from time to time. It's probably not contagious and there is nothing to worry about. Some people just happen to have worse symptoms and stronger reactions than others if they do catch it. Here are some safety guidelines to avoid catching it yourself..."

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I feel like Ukraine ought to claim these kills by proxy. After all it was your actions which convinced Putin to kill Russian leaders for you.

[–] photoncollector@mastodon.social 5 points 5 months ago

@Five
He was found hanged but it was just an unfortunate accident.
He was practicing his knot tying skills.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Looks like it’s catching.
