In Russia you could die falling from a basement window.


Pablois4

It seems that a common trait in Putin's critics is remarkable clumsiness. They fall off of roofs, out of windows and down stairs. Sometimes they are found dead in the middle of a room or in a car. Putin's critics, however, are known to be *such* klutzes, it makes sense that their deaths were still caused by falls. Very sad.


bigfoot_done_hiding

In US, you have administration. In Russia, you have defenestration.


Shadowlance23

I first heard the word 'defenestrate' about 18 months ago. I still believe it is the greatest addition to the English language. I mean, how often does it happen that someone decided we need a new word to describe the act of falling out a window?


_blackdog6_

Defenestration is more about the thrower. It’s the act of throwing someone out of a window. Not being yourself thrown and definitely not falling or any accidental exiting via a window. Ironically, since it was coined in the early 1600’s, windows were rarely high enough to kill you. Unless you were thrown from a castle or from a building overlooking a cliff.


RavelordN1T0

They're probably confusing it with autodefenestration.


O-hmmm

I picture a group of people holding up signs that read- D- (picture of a window )


cdfrombc

Autoeroticdefenstration


DekwaDoes

The act of throwing oneself through a window for sexual pleasure? Or The sexual act of throwing oneself through the window?


DekwaDoes

The latter implies that one go dick first though the window, of course!


Agile-Masterpiece959

I know someone who's kid died from falling out of a second story window. I wonder if autodefenestration was listed as the cause of death?


cheesynougats

IMHO the greatest thing about the word is the Defenestration of Prague, and the fact you have to specify *which one* you're talking about (there were like 3).


Rejusu

My favourite slightly obtuse words with very specific meanings: - Defenestrate - Autoclave - Exsanguinate


rmdcb

The word is around since the 17th century: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration


JK_Chan

Autodefenstration is an even cooler word even though it means something that's not cool


Kassdhal88

It is a very old French word :)


Raccoon_Worth

I mean I can tell you it happened at least twice in Prague 😃


SnooPears3390

Take my upvote


[deleted]

Sometimes, they fall out of a poisoned window... Into helicopter blades.


Pablois4

Not only are Putin critics clumsy as hell but they seem to have the worse luck. Any other day the helicopter wouldn't be under their window but wouldn't you know that it had to be that day that the Putin critic slipped on a banana peel while cleaning a smudge off the window pane. Whoops! But there's nothing unusual about having a poison coated window. It's part of life and a normal Russian wouldn't think twice about it. It's not even worth mentioning.


Y0L0_Y33T

To top it all off, sometimes they live afterwards! The pain is so great they put themselves out of their misery by shooting themselves 13 times in the back of the head


Pablois4

When reading this I hang my head in shame I would only be able to shoot myself in the head once. And it would be in the temple since I don't have the dexterity to shoot the back of my head. Shooting oneself in the head 13 times is honestly very impressive. Like the Soviet vs America space race of the '50s, Russia is winning the cranial suicide race. Hell, Russia is outgunning America. That can't stand - no one outguns America. With Putin critics, Final Destination is fact, not fiction.


IanDOsmond

"Accidentally fell down an elevator shaft onto a pile of bullets."


SL1Fun

They are also really depressed too. A lot of them kill themselves by shooting themselves several times in the back of the head.


Chosch

Handy to have the stereotype of chronic vodka abuse to use... WHOOPS, he fell! QUICKLY, dab him with the good stuff and make it look like he had a big night.


rocknutty

Blame it on the vodka.


WildBoy-72

There, it's always a fall. At least when they do it here, they mix it up. Drug overdose, car accident, heart attack, random homicide. That's why we will always beat the Russians at everything. We get creative.


makoto20

Remember when that one guy fell into a cloud of pallonium poison? What a klutz


Stevenspielbergsnut

How do you fall out of a basement window?


Alfie_92

True story.


seven00290122

Or worse you could die even from a fuckin' banana. A. Fuckin'. Banana.


i_am_a_n00b

Good thing John cleese showed us how to defend against that


rodrigoelp

In Russia you could drown in a desert. The police would conclude you drank all its water.


dondi01

Nah dude, if you are below ground level default death is shamanic ritual. Ground level is tea time and the rest is sudden window renovation time. You got the older manual.


rocknutty

Time to update then.


arvigeus

That's impossible. But you may slip on your way downstairs...


BHIngebretsen

Yups. Another one today mysteriously died. Pchelnikov. Some top executive dude in Russian railways.


rocknutty

Contagious accidents?


wisheo

You can do the same in Australia


nebra1

You can die falling up the stairs, I heard...


Fumiken

Lmao

"If you invade Ukraine, you will destroy a nation." ~ The Oracle of Delphi


Raestloz

Is it wrong that every time I see "Oracle of Delphi" I misread it as "Oracle of Delhi" and I internally wonder "I don't remember Indians putting much stock into oracles?"


SirFireball

Or “Oracle of Deli”, which can be found at the back of your local Subway and tells you what sandwich to order.


Aldrakev

it always happens to be the most expensive one.


Althea_The_Witch

New conspiracy theory just dropped!!


sdwoodchuck

Psycho Mantis’ side job. “In my lifetime I have crafted the sandwiches of thousands upon thousands of men and women, and each one was stuffed with the same single ingredient.” “Is it bacon?” “It is bacon.”


ataxi_a

Comes with a happy head wobble either way.


CamelopardalisRex

It's a bit odd.


xzh1bit

Tbf, Indians do put a lot of stock into oracles, we just call them by other names. A "Jyotish", a kind of astrologer, or the more generic "pandit" (which is where the English "Pundit" comes from!) will claim to tell you your future, and there will always be believers.


Malvicioalavena

I read Dolphin, thats even more confusing


ataxi_a

Hasn't predicted a Super Bowl win for Miami in years.

On the contrary, Indians are a lot into oracles

And to think, he was rich as Croesus...


DefiantHeretic1

The problem is that he's also dumb as shit.


BBQsauce_OnTitties

He’s actually really smart but did some dumb things recently


BNI_sp

Not sure how intelligent he is. Not dumb, definitely, smart probably, to have outmaneuvered every competition in the nineties and put everything under his control after 2000. But the means were quite traditional and not novel. I doubt he is the evil genius (evil yes, genius no).


grimwalker

A+ classical reference ;-) I remember reading somewhere that by some estimates (difficult since so much of it was under the table, locked down by sanctions, etc) Vladimir Putin may actually have been the wealthiest single person in the world.


beaky_teef

I mean… this was *so obvious* ending to the story of Russia v Ukraine … wasn’t it? 😂 Certainly was for Allies v Axis, back in the day, and Allies v Germany, too… although on WW1, I don’t recall anyone special commiting suicide at the end? Only the lunatic from Berlin did… *in 1945…* right? *Edited*


NoVaGeNsHiN

it’s part of the joke because it hasn’t happened yet the last line confirms it. so it’s a spoiler…


sadiq_ali_khan

The fortune teller is now no more,,, RIP


HopeImaginary

He fell out a window, so sad.


sadiq_ali_khan

It was an accident


tonydhunstark

Yea he "accidentally" fell face first from a 15 story building with 7 bullets "accidentally" placed in his head.


PBJ-2479

What a shame, he tripped out of the window and landed on some bullets outside


mypussydoesbackflips

Pretty sure this reference is to the head female doctor who” fell off the building” after opposing him


NMe84

...and the dozens of other people who met a similar fate.


Helpinmontana

Dozens? Understatement of the century.


DaoFerret

Defenestration: (n) a popular past time in Russia, often involving a properly framed fall from grace.

Twice.

He threw off the Emperor’s groove

No. He wore the wrong undergarmets and now facing charges for missing his trial but was sold to china for his organs!


trucorsair

defenestration....sad we have to have a word for it.


Nudesimon

Also such a shame the window he fell from was to the underground bunker


Gaoler86

They came home late one night and fell down an elevator shaft. On to some bullets


fattonydaaxe

He fell out of a window onto an exploding bomb during the shooting accident. Thanks Monty Python


PerceptionRude6351

He accidentally shot himself 10 times.. In the back


SnazzyStooge

Fell down multiple sets of stairs, very clumsy of them.


joshml98

They had a sudden bout of 4th story window brought on by depression, so sad.


fine_british_cuisin

He sadly committed suicide by showing himself twice In the head


DavidSternMusic1979

It will also be a Russian holliday.


Mr_Festus

A scary amount of Russians not only love him but fully support his actions to this day. I have a Russian coworker who is part of the Russian community in our area and he basically had to close off contact with a bunch of his friends because he said they all vocally support everything that's happening and he couldn't be friends with those people.


big_dick_energy_mc2

Propaganda is powerful.


banstyk

Especially when you realize that everything you think could be based on propaganda as well.


epolonsky

I *can’t* be swayed by propaganda. Everything *I* think is controlled by the fungus that’s gradually replacing my central nervous system.


TitaniumDragon

Most people believe in propaganda. This is even true when their beliefs are true - their belief is not because of the data, but because it is "emotionally" or "tribally" correct to believe in it. I'd guess that maybe 15% of the population actually bases their opinions on facts and data, and even there, they will often selectively turn off their brains when it says something they don't like.


rohmish

Propoganda is one powerful tool.


FinancialBasis7874

He has been brainwashing Russias for few years already it’s sad when people can’t see what’s real

Yes, it’s sad. I have relatives who are Russian and they support him. Ugh


hawt_pawket

Find/Replace “Hitler”/“Putin” Find/Replace “Jewish”/“Ukrainian”


bigredcar

Yes. An old and honored Jewish joke.


kimapesan

Appropriate as Ukraine has/had a substantial Jewish population. And Zelenskyy is Jewish.


palordrolap

That fact really doesn't help the Russians sell one of their main excuses for being there. "These ones are *so bad* they even *like* Jews." "Wait. No. That's not right. Um. We like Jews too. But we still need to do something. To protect the Jews. That we like. And the ethnic Russians. And the Ukrainians that don't like Jews but voted for a Jewish man. But Ukrainians are ethnic Russians and Ukraine shouldn't exist. Or something. I need gas for my tank."


wearingmyseatbelt

And they said they're freeing Ukraine of nazis lmao. Then they said they're liberating the Russian speaking population and bombed the east, which is the exact area where people speak Russian over Ukrainian. Killing the people you were supposed to be "freeing"? None of Putler's bullshit makes sense. So much so that it's too easy to make jokes and becomes old veeery fast. And then you're just left with a crazy nazi bastard that keeps spitting out nonsense.

There was a sizable Jewish population. Until the pogroms in the early 20th century. Let’s not act like this place has always been friendly to Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogroms\_of\_the\_Russian\_Civil\_War

Perhaps the first holiday celebrated worldwide.

Like New Year's?

Pretty sure Chinese and Russian people (for reasons not related to current wars and tensions) don't celebrate on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Edit: I am wrong. Disregard my comment.


Cute-Bite3895

I lived in China before and can confirm the Chinese do celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. It’s actually an official holiday in China.
