I’m not entirely certain (because Telegram is disrupted and it’s harder to get information from Russia), but I think this bears some relation to RosKomNadzor f**ing with Telegram and mobile internet in general, recently also in the Moscow region (arguably because the sky is full of Ukrainian drones, but perhaps for additional reasons).
Two political principles applicable to Russia:
- don’t take people’s alcohol away from them, sober people will do rational things
- don’t take Telegram, people depend on it and will be angry, possibly forgetting how to lie
Sometimes these things are also a trap. Someone will deliberately be positioned to make a public opposition stand, just to flush out anyone who would support them.
They mentioned that in the the at article as well, and also why it’s not likely
That takes guts. Good for him.
I felt that was necessary to say at least once amid all the grim comments about how welp he’s fuckin dead. I mean there’s truth to that but it shouldn’t be the sum total of our reaction to this.
It does. It’s such an abrupt about-face that I can see why everyone initially thought it was staged. It’s like a gazelle turning round and headbutting a chasing lion or something. Maybe he just received a terminal diagnosis and thought ‘fuck it’?
I was thinking rather of hyenas circling a lion, each one nipping at a heel, a tail, an ear, none quite confident enough yet to bum rush the fucker all at once… Except they’re all just hamsters… Nasty, evil little fucking hamsters, ready to rip each other to shreds 🐹
Stay away from windows, comrade.
And poisonous frogs only found in the Amazon
And walk faster than anyone with an umbrella.
And Don’t fly on any planes near Russia airspace.
Or drink tea.
Don’t wear underpants
Don’t drink anything
Unfortunately, VX also works on your face
Apply directly to the forehead.
Or they can shoot you with a poison dart
Oh they will just construct a building around him instead. Just to throw him out.
A very minecraft murder method, I like it.
That’s one way to commit suicide, I guess.
“he shot himself 9 times in the back of the head, jumped out of a window, and ate toxic tree frog venom on the way down.”
“…yeah major depression. Shame.”
The Tzar will fall. Ukraine will be victorious. Russia will be free.
The rats are fleeing. I’ve been hearing rumors about an internal power struggle and a possible silent coup. Putin is now extremely paranoid and this is bound to start backfiring. This is yet another little puzzle piece to this.
I wish him a painless autodefenestration. I can’t imagine it ending any other way. It takes courage to do something like that. I wonder what made him snap.
I wonder what made him snap.
Hitting the concrete ground at terminal velocity definitely makes you snap in half
Oof. Touché. lol
Ah… Following the MTG playbook, eh? Whelp, hope this guy doesn’t have a lot of him-sized windows wherever he is.
The sharks are smelling blood.

The regime could collapse any minute now.
Putin found himself in the problem of the intelligentsia, how refreshing.
