It seems this is becoming a dangerous occupation. It seems the sausage tycoon died today. Another of his party died two days ago,another tragic ‘accident’.It seems criticising the Russian war in Ukraine isn’t the done thing. Does anyone have a list of the recent deaths, it must be getting fairly lengthy by now..

A KGB BBQ?

No doubt the guilty person will be a spy for the west and no way working on Putin's orders.

Last month a business man in Russia committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest.

Five times.

By necessity, Russia needs to revert to some sort of command economy. The sham crony capitalism is being dismantled as the war effort ramps up. In a pariah nation, with no real external trade or hope of FDI ‘businessmen’ (favoured gangsters) are not just surplus to requirements, but also a hindrance.

I wonder if this war is Putin's strategy to get the 'command economiy' back?
Lose the war, but gain full control of the country?

Quite a lot of them 'accidentally fall out of a window".

Uncanny.
