    He had some mushrooms and instantly shot himself in the back a couple of times before he threw himself out of the window. Totally normal, nothing to see here.

    At first I read “Putin died” and I cannot even begin to describe the emotions going through me while I checked the sub name, before realizing I missed a word.

      An interesting thought for sure, a thought about preparing for winter with, eh, expected uncertainty and fuel crisis started to form in my head. Like framing the balconies and additionally insulating old balcony doors and such stuff. Not even speaking about a reserve of matches, salt, sugar, canned meat and such.

    His enemies have started to avoid Windows and BUM, a new method. Putin is an inventive killer. Unlike Netanyahu who just kills en masse.

    He’s not the first Putin enemy to die from accidental mushroom poisoning. Look up the scientist Vitaly Melnikov.

    There is an interesting podcast called Sad Oligarchs that document alot of these sort of deaths in Russia.

    likely using DEATH cap, anamita phalloides, which very toxic to the liver and grows all over EURASIA. lemme guess hes next choice of poison is aconitum, WOLFSBANE. the plant is so toxic you can get poisoned just by touching it.

      Death caps and destroying angels can be treated if you catch them in time. It’s just by the time you realize it it’s too late usually.

    α-Amanitin. Amanita looks edible. Common way to die. Also a very easy cover-up if they enjoy foraging for food. A lot of species are foragable, but a lot are also deadly and hard to differentiate. Definitely sus, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy ate something similar to a death cap.

    I’m conflicted.

    As an “enemy” of Putin, I have to assume assignation, but no windows? Russia has lots its way, are the classics no longer respected.

      Maybe he died of the mushroom before or during a defenstration. it does seem out of pattern.

    Friends say he passed away at home after eating mushrooms he found in the yard of his home.

    Though he was a mushroom expert, the mushrooms he collected turned out to be poisonous.

    This is such a "wink, wink " to readers if I ever see one

      If an Amanita, they are universally known amongst mushroom experts and even just foragers, never trust any white mushrooms with their look. There is a very low chance he wasn’t poisoned.

    When I become a political speaker I’m going to make my hobbies piano moving, snake catching, deep sea fishing, and free climbing.
