Russia has a recurring mystery: very rich and prominent men keep falling to their deaths, with no explanation. Just recently, the publisher of Pravda suffered the same unfortunate fate.
Vyacheslav Leontyev, 87, had been the publisher of Pravda since 1984. It is believed that he jumped from the window of his fifth-floor apartment. Police officials think he had a “nervous breakdown.”
There have been around two dozen mysterious deaths of Russian top businessmen and other officials since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Pravda, which means Truth, was the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party until the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991
In July, Roman Starovoit, a transport minister, was found dead in a reported suicide just hours after the Kremlin had announced his dismissal. Police said he shot himself with a handgun. Unconfirmed Russian media reports say that he was under investigation over the theft of at least one billion roubles (£9.3 million), which was allocated for the construction of defences on the border with Ukraine.
Last month, a former Russian state property and customs official who was facing years in prison over corruption charges is said to have killed himself after escaping a courtroom in St Petersburg. Boris Avakyan, who held an Armenian passport, fled to the Armenian consulate and was discovered dead in a lavatory there, police said.
Also last month, the headless body of Alexey Sinitsyn, a leading Russian business manager, was found under a bridge in Kaliningrad, Russia’s Baltic exclave. A car tow rope was reportedly attached to his body and a police source told Vedomosti, a Russian newspaper, that he may have committed suicide. The source did not clarify how.

If the orange menace ever has to beat a hasty retreat in his fancy tricked out airplane courtesy of the good people of the USA, he would likely flee to one of his associates in the Middle East, not Russia, where Putin holds everyone’s fate in his hands.

AMERICAN BILLIONAIRES will find themselves living in fear of falling out of windows, if Trump stays in power.
RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRES and CEOs thought that by bringing Putin into power he was a small person whom they could control to give them tax breaks and allow them to build empires.
WHAT THE BILLIONAIRES failed to comprehend is that once even a small person gets control of all the apparatus of government, then that small person because the nation’s most powerful person and no longer needs billionaires to back him.
As soon as Putin consolidated his hold on the government of Russia, billionaires and CEOs found themselves being “asked” to share their money and properties with him…if they didn’t, they fell out of a window.
The same will happen to U.S. billionaires and CEOs as Trump continues to consolidate his power and prosecute everyone on his “enemies” list.
U.S. billionaires will find themselves living in constant fear that they might say the “wrong” thing, or that a business rival might simply report that they said something critical of Trump…then they will fall out of a window…or develop a mysterious illness…or might commit “suicide”…whatever — they will live in constant fear, with their lives a living hell of paranoia…and they will constantly ask themselves why they didn’t see this coming…the answer is that they were blinded by greed…but that answer will have come too late.

DJ6T is a puppet, a tool, a useful idiot … but he’s just about exhausted his usefulness to whatever handler or master put him in play … Bibi, Vlad, your guess is a good as mine … and when it’s done he’ll meet the same Hollywood‑worthy fate as all who came before him.
