Oil tycoon falls to his death from elite Moscow apartment block in latest mystery death to hit Russia
Andrey Badalov, a 62-year-old vice-president of Russiaās state-owned oil pipeline giant Transneft, died after falling from a high-rise apartment building in Moscowās elite Rublevskoye neighborhood. Although he lived on the 10th floor, reports suggest he fell from the 17th floor. Authorities have preliminarily ruled the death a suicide, citing a note left for his wife, but the circumstances remain suspicious.
Badalovās death is the latest in a troubling pattern of mysterious fatalities among high-ranking Russian executives, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Over the past few years, several prominent figures tied to companies like Lukoil and Yukos have died under unclear or violent circumstances, often labeled as suicides or accidents. These incidents have fueled speculation about internal purges, political silencing, or deeper instability within Russiaās elite circles.
Putin is eliminating the traitors that have been working with the cabal.
Because to commit suicide, you'd naturally climb seven floors above your 10th floor window - seems perfectly reasonable
There was a strong updraft when he "jumped" from the 10th floor, according to the Arkincide handbook.
Falling out a Window was a calling card of some KGB elements. The people who were supposed to know knew what it meant. Everyone else either believed the story. Or knew enough to not dig into it too much.
Very solid chance that all the stockbrokers who ācommitted suicideā were either being killed for losing money or being killed because they knew too much.
Suicide out of honor is probably out of the question. Suicide out of fear at retribution is possible, but seems unlikely.
Indeed. As far as Iām aware. Suicide out of Honor hasnāt really been a thing in European and Western Societies for a few centuries.Outside of some outliers during armed conflict.
Itās been more of a Japanese/Asian thing in recent history. And even then the more recent instances Iām aware of at least were limited to really the post WW2 and early-mid Cold War years. And had interesting stories around them.
Ranging from things like a failed Coup attempt. To the Kamikaze Porn-Star that tried to take out a Yakuza Boss.
Granted there could have been others that just never made the news here. I just know about those as they made the news elsewhere and were wild enough that notes surrounding the events were made in historical records of other nations.
But fear of retribution. Or to escape potential punishment is far more common these days in the Europe/ The West more broadly. That or being a loose end that needs tied up. But that is more murder. Even if staged as a suicide
I knew a person From Alaska that started a company in Moscow, it started to be very successful. Some Russians stop and made him an offer that he couldnāt refuse. Left that day never to return. They offer his life for his business.
Andrey Badalov? Any relation to Boris Badenov? š
I wish some of our tycoons could fall from above.
Taks zim to zee 17th floor---jus to be zure! Kek
IMO not every "17" is comms. Especially when it's 107 or 117 or 195472617 with a "17" in there somewhere, or 10034 that just happens to add up to "17" eventually. But when it's in the news and it's out of place, or when it's not necessary to the context of the story, such as this one, it practically screams "dig into this."
It's raining Russians again.Do not walk next to highrise buildings.
