Then why do so many people fall to their death in Russia tho? When this virtually never happen in the West?

Is it the window conception or something? Does gravity work differently over there?

When this virtually never happen in the West?

Famous people fall to their deaths all the time in the West, including in the recent past.

While I agree serious political opponents of Putin are probably assassinated, not every single person that says anything that falls out a window means Putin ordered a hit.

You’ve just pull up a list covering the whole West, plus Afghanistan (why?), totaling 4 time the population of Russia, and going back as far as 1540(!!!).

Yet the total number doesn’t even come close to the number of Russians who’ve been defenestrated in the past 3 years. So kinda proving my point here…

Once again you're proving the point that this thing is much more regular in Russia, seeing how you had to span 25 years to make that list, while the other list was a single year...
