Two Russian Colonels Fall from Windows, Spark Suspicion

Two Russian colonels have fallen from windows in what appears to be a continuation of mysterious deaths among high-ranking officials since the onset of the Ukraine war. Artur Pryakhin, 56, the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in Karelia, was found dead after falling from a fifth-floor window, with investigators labeling it a suicide despite the ongoing investigation. He reportedly left a note apologizing to his family and asked not to assign blame for his death. Meanwhile, Colonel Alexey Zubkov, who serves in the Investigative Committee, survived a fall from a fourth-floor window and claimed he could not remember the incident. These incidents add to a troubling pattern of unexplained falls among prominent Russians, raising speculation about the safety and political tensions surrounding Kremlin officials. The government has yet to provide a clear explanation for the circumstances surrounding these deaths.
