56-year-old Artur Pryakhin – an ex-police colonel now working for an anti-monopoly agency – died after plummeting from a fifth-floor window...

Looks like his replacement would accept smaller bribes.

AGAIN! Russia seriously needs to start installing safety bars on these windows

Or get central heat/AC so they can keep those dangerous windows closed. Maybe a PSA about window safety in the interim?

It's in the middle of a Russian winter so the central heating must have been belting out so much heat for the poor Colonel to open said window.

Eh. It’s kind of a shit day, not even Russian generals being undone by their greatest weakness, Russia, is moving the needle.
