At first I read “Putin died” and I cannot even begin to describe the emotions going through me while I checked the sub name, before realizing I missed a word.
Same here. Dammit.
Same
Dammit.
An interesting thought for sure, a thought about preparing for winter with, eh, expected uncertainty and fuel crisis started to form in my head. Like framing the balconies and additionally insulating old balcony doors and such stuff. Not even speaking about a reserve of matches, salt, sugar, canned meat and such.
He had some mushrooms and instantly shot himself in the back a couple of times before he threw himself out of the window. Totally normal, nothing to see here.
A normal day in Russia.
Friends say he passed away at home after eating mushrooms he found in the yard of his home.
Though he was a mushroom expert, the mushrooms he collected turned out to be poisonous.
This is such a "wink, wink " to readers if I ever see one
If an Amanita, they are universally known amongst mushroom experts and even just foragers, never trust any white mushrooms with their look. There is a very low chance he wasn’t poisoned.
He’s not the first Putin enemy to die from accidental mushroom poisoning. Look up the scientist Vitaly Melnikov.
There is an interesting podcast called Sad Oligarchs that document alot of these sort of deaths in Russia.
When talking about the alot of accidental poisonings, accidental drops from very high buildings, and suicides by two bullets to the back of the head, I always imagine an alot with the face of Putin.

If you need an army of assassins, I’ll allot a lot of alots to you.
accidental heart attacks, falling from the boat, exploding planes, falling from the plane.
I’m conflicted.
As an “enemy” of Putin, I have to assume assignation, but no windows? Russia has lots its way, are the classics no longer respected.
Maybe he died of the mushroom before or during a defenstration. it does seem out of pattern.
His enemies have started to avoid Windows and BUM, a new method. Putin is an inventive killer. Unlike Netanyahu who just kills en masse.
Russia has a long, long history with poisoning, going back to at least Stalin’s time.
Also Rasputin.
I think they have like a huge collection of all the world’s poisons in St. Petersburg.
Which one is BUM?
I had to re-read it 3 times to realize that BUM wasn’t meant to be an acronym (which is also a new method) or nether regions of the body, but >>!BAM!<< in their own language. We also say ‘bumm’, but with a long ‘m’.
Sure, “accidentally”
While falling out of a window.
After shooting themself in the back of the head 5 times
Whilst writing a suicide note in someone else’s handwriting
Perhaps he lives in a single-story building, so defenestration might take some time.
Did they run out of windows already?
What? So, the 6th floor, toss out the window, is abandoned.
At this point I think anyone important in Russia is staying on the ground floor at all times! Bungalows only!
they ran out of windows.
There wasn’t any hot polonium in his area
“accidental”
Oops, what a dummy!
Lemme guess, something in the amanita family?
α-Amanitin. Amanita looks edible. Common way to die. Also a very easy cover-up if they enjoy foraging for food. A lot of species are foragable, but a lot are also deadly and hard to differentiate. Definitely sus, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy ate something similar to a death cap.

And apparently death caps are delicious
To die for?
You know, I might actually try them if I know I’m going to die from something else. They completely destroy your liver and that’s and excruciating death, so you want to make sure something else kills you first.
I’d rather die by snu snu, but to each their own.
Well that’s exactly my point! You can have a succulent death cap meal and then die by the pelvis of your Amazonian lover!
