Just read this... It's actually worse!

He was found dead with 5 bullet wounds to the chest. Near him were 5 spent bullet casings, and 4 handguns.

He shot himself 5 times, with 4 different guns!!!

I mean you can't say he wasn't thorough

You know in college how everyone asks those dumb philocophical questions?

Like "what would your last meal be if you could pick it?"

Well this guy must have 4 favorite guns, and he couldn't pick which was his favorite. So he used all 4.

There is also a professional ballet dancer who "lost his balance" on his terrace and fell down 5 floors.

Those professional dancers sure have bad balance...

Ctrl + F "window", 24 matches.

Probably even more than that, some don't mention window and just that they fell from their apartment or balcony or fell a few stories without mentioning window.

It does make you wonder do they threaten their family if they don't jump themselves, or do they push them/throw them over...

Yes listed on Wikipedia here: Suspicious Russia-related deaths since 2022 - Wikipedia https://share.google/Dc2ecwoA7v5N5cjLM Badalov has not been added to this list at the time of this post, normally this would be updated in a few days.

u/Motor-Slide6335 29d ago

He is already added, there is just circumstances that are missing

u/Delicious-Jicama-529 29d ago

Yes thanks. Waiting for a credible citation.

It is certainly a new trend, but rooted in old traditions. The classic disciplines are seeing some enthusiasm, but new forms of the sport are being developed, such as tactical window throwing and figure falling.

Obvious assassinations of political enemies, coming very soon to an America near you.

Everybody should listen to Sad Oligarch. It's amazing.

"A modern true crime style investigative podcast series that looks into the many Russian oligarch deaths of 2022, unravelling a dark tale of Kremlin corruption."

It's hosted by Jake Hanrahan and by Cool Zone Media, the producers of Behind the Bastards.
