Top Russian Economist Dies After Falling out of Window

Several top Russian officials have plunged to their deaths from windows in recent years, including a top oil executive and a defense official.

Newsweek
@randahl “It's not the economy that’s falling, just an economist.” —Maybe Putin?
@randahl Moskow Window Syndrome ©®™

@faraiwe @randahl Or, «Синдром спонтанного выхода из окна»—“Spontaneous Window Exiting Syndrome”.

I *knew* those #DuoLingo Russian lessons would come in handy!

(/j)

@randahl I thought this was satire, but then started coming across the news stories. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@randahl

"russian official out of favor falls out window" is such a boring lame joke

just like contemporary russia

@randahl I would have never learned the word “defenestration” without Putin’s help.
@petep44 @randahl wait. What? There's a word for it! TIL
@randahl sad and another bites the dust...😭
@randahl in Russia, Windows boots you.

@randahl

Seems to be a lot of cowboy Glaziers in Russia

@randahl That’s contagious over there
@randahl Damn these Russian windows are so fragile these days.
@randahl Russian windows are less reliable than the Microsoft version.

@randahl

Russian windows are terribly dangerous. They really ought to get them fixed.

@randahl well At least they're not on the edge of defaulting and printing money like lunatics. Like the EU. Like some others.

@paardendrummer

Yeah, people getting murdered is, of course, so much better than ebil money printing.

Nice morals you got there.

By the way, who said that Putler's fascist country isn't on the edge of defaulting while printing money like lunatics? Or did you think that producing weapons and military goods was of any sustainable, lasting value? 🙃

@randahl

@randahl one thing annoys me more and more. How much do you hate your profession if your reporting goes as far as "one user on a minor social media site owned by a brolicharg wrote such, and another user on that collection of disinformation wrote so."

Who cares? Tell me what she said the past weeks/months, her relations to Putun, basically anything that explains her falling out a window.

@randahl in putin's russia, if the economy is in a free fall - SO ARE YOU!
@randahl
"... Falling" yeah I don't think so 
@randahl
Poisoning, falling downstairs, off balconies or our of windows seem to be some of Putin's solutions
His election was a farce
Anyone who stands against him is threatened imprisoned or eliminated
There are still calls for Ukraine to negotiate with him!

@randahl
Economist: We've run out of war moneys and killing machines.
Putin: (frowns)
Economist "trips"

The lesson: when Putin demands a meeting on the 15th floor, run for your life.

@randahl

Maybe Putin can fix Global Warming by pushing all the weathermen out of windows?

@randahl 8 EU finance ministers wrote an article about the russian economy: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/24/russia-economic-growth-western-sanctions-vladimir-putin-moscow

Maybe her "accidental" defenestration is a warning to others, not to discuss fiscal matters with foreigners

Russia is lying about its economic strength: sanctions are working – and we need more

The signs are clear: everything is not as rosy in Putin’s Soviet-style war economy as Moscow would have us believe, write eight EU finance ministers

The Guardian
@randahl #CrowdStrike breathes a sigh of relief for a windows incident that doesn't involve them.
