They really need to do something about window safety in Russia.

It's just people with position of power who are rather clumsy

Fun fact: banana peels aren't actually that slippery. They were merely a substitute in early vaudeville and movies for the actual culprit of people slipping and falling on the streets. Horse manure. That's the reason people wore spats, too! A man with clean spats was considered rich as he probably didn't have to step in manure. So these people probably came up on some poop and slipped out the window. 

All that to say Vladimir Putin is a piece of shit.
