1. Yeah right ......

At this point in time Russians are a suicidal bunch of people especially the rich business types and military officials.

2. I guess Putin has caught onto the fact that no one believes...

... when people fall out of windows anymore, so they had to come up with something else.

[leftyladyfrommo]

4. They are creative. Poison. Windows. Hanging.

They don't really believe that stuff. They know it's a warning.

[nycbos]

6. If course people don't believe it

I was being sarcastic.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Might be anti-war anti-conscription radicals. . . . nt

[GreenWave]

31. I heard they had a shortage of non-boarded up windows.

[Coventina]

3. What a depressed and clumsy bunch!

Being associated with Putin is not good for one's health!

[canetoad]

5. If Putin had a kid brother

He'd look like this.

[Haggard Celine]

28. Or a son.

Maybe the guy found out who his daddy was and was in despair. That would make anyone sick. Imagine being told that your dad was actually Hitler. But there will be plenty of speculation about this. The truth about this could be just about anything.

7. Key word: APPARENT

That word is doing a lot of winking and nudging.

[NCjack]

29. He hanged himself with his hands tied behind his back. Ruled "suicide",

as there was no contrary evidence.

[harumph]

8. IDK, in this case it might actually have been suicide

[70sEraVet]

12. The only way to avoid 'falling out of a window'?

[PortTack]

9. In Belgorod 2 russian dissidents shot and killed 11 russian soliders over draft orders

Maybe this guy got the same

[EYESORE 9001]

10. In charge of mobilization, huh?

Perhaps it was guilt over sending untold thousands to an extremely likely death. He would be privy to battlefield reports and state, no doubt.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, as well.

Given how poorly it has been going, I suspect there's a huge heap of shame mixed in, as well.

[ShazzieB]

24. That's how I see it.

Anyone in his position would have to be a world class psychopath to NOT be depressed and guilt ridden over what he was being made to do. And I'm sure death would have been the only escape open to him. The second he refused to do Putin's bidding, he would have been a dead man walking. Might as well make his exit on his own terms.

[Backseat Driver]

35. Perhaps he just couldn't hear the music anymore,

when his own shot to death his favorite Ukrainian conductor who wouldn't cue in the fake Kherson concert festival percussion.

11. Just another form of...

Terminal gravity cancer.

[lindysalsagal]

13. Too bad tfg can't take that position, now that it's open...

[Disaffected]

14. Sounds like Putin is

channeling Uncle Joe again.

[paleotn]

23. Sure seems like it.

[nuxvomica]

15. I wonder about some of these suicides/accidents

Of course, some are probably ordered by Putin, but others are Putin's allies. Did they have a falling out (no pun intended) or could there be a rogue group within the security forces that is knocking off some of these loyalists, to send Putin a message. IIRC, there was some intel "leakage" to the Ukrainians by some in the security forces.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. The man missed his quota

Working for Putin is not safe

[Chainfire]

18. The cost of failure is death.

As a system of employee management, it is very motivating. I am not sure how well it works for recruitment.

[Rebl2]

19. Yeah with

some help I am sure.

[spanone]

20. 'apparent' to whom?

[sarcasmo]

21. The Russian military is in dire straits.

[paleotn]

22. Saved the Russian government the trouble. And the paperwork.

They're now resorting to random press gangs. See "Late Breaking News".

[edbermac]

25. Slipped on a banana peel.

It happens.

[ZonkerHarris]

26. he must have lived on the 1st floor.....

[Simeon Salus]

30. The beatings will continue until the attitude improves.

Another one bites the dust!

[The Unmitigated Gall]

32. Resignation...Russian-style.

[VGNonly]

33. In Casablanca

Inspector Renault says that in the official report on Ugarte, they haven't decided whether he committed suicide or was shot while trying to escape.

[NBachers]

34. I'm willing to believe it may have been self inflicted.
