I'd guess they use this method rather than something else like poisoning whenever they want to make very apparent what happened, as a warning

...Along with Window Quality Control issues. Bad combo.

I bet it has a Ministry of Definistry.

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with defenestratiosis? You may be entitled to financial compensation, call the Kremlin now.

Ah yes the classic story about the guy who asked for a suite without windows, and the concierge says: "Ah you want the polonium suite then!".

The only way to avoid falling out of the window is to leave Russia. Then you'll be shot dead like they do in civilised countries - https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-ukraine-war-murder-maksim-kuzminov-spain-intelligence/

Not really. Gravity and windows work as expected

OpenAI really captured the essence of "oh shit I didn't study for this exam at all so I'll just try and bullshit my way through it"

Lmao windows prone to breaking

Llama 3 explanation:

Why do Russians keep falling out of Windows?

I think there may be some misinformation or stereotypes at play here!

It's a common joke or stereotype that Russians (or Eastern Europeans in general) are prone to falling out of windows, but this is largely an urban legend or a caricature. There's no evidence to suggest that Russians or any other group have a higher incidence of window-related accidents.

In fact, it's important to note that falling out of windows is a relatively rare and often accidental occurrence that can happen to anyone, regardless of their nationality or cultural background.

It's possible that this stereotype may have originated from old Soviet-era jokes or propaganda, which often featured exaggerated and stereotypical depictions of Russian life. Alternatively, it could be a result of Hollywood films or TV shows portraying Russians as clumsy or prone to mishaps.

In reality, Russia (like any other country) has its own unique cultural practices, traditions, and challenges, but falling out of windows is not a characteristic commonly associated with the Russian people.

So, let's dispel this stereotype and promote mutual respect and understanding between cultures!

You’ve seen that huge conference table, right?

It’s not that he’s trying to be intimidating… he just wants a head start on running,

It's A Lawyer Thing

Background. Garry Hoy was a corporate and securities law specialist for the law firm of Holden Day Wilson in Toronto. While giving a tour of the Toronto-Dominion Centre to a group of articling students, he attempted to demonstrate the strength of the structure's window glass by slamming himself into a window.

Comrade, you see back in old days, a strong Soviet man might have to fall out of window 30 or 40 times before finally succumbing to injuries. Minor improvements in window falling technology improved this over time. Improvements like feeding political enemies high calorie foods thus making them heavier. Also promotions worked for many. By first promoting the unfortunate soul, you could insure that they lived on a higher floor or had a house with a 3rd story. However, all of these solutions took much time. It wasn't until 1 brilliant pioneer realized that if the unfortunate accident victim first broke neck before falling out of window, then even the sturdiest of men could fall out of even basement window just once.

It's a mystery why they try to maintain plausible deniability at this point.

It is a mystery, because if a detective starts a proper investigation, he or she will fall out of the window as well. And if you can't investigate, it's technically a mystery.
