Just how many oligarchs are (were) in Russia? Seems they started running out of convenient windows in country and have started tossing them out of windows all over the place.

All these that are out of Russia, did they move their funds also? Is Putin “inheriting” all the dead oligarch cash and businesses? I can’t see him letting that go to family members. If he manages to successfully flee the country, he’s going to need all the billions he can hold on to to keep up his lifestyle.

Maybe it’s genetic and only effects super rich Russians. Too much of the good vodka and caviar probably triggers it. 🙂 [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_businessmen_mystery_deaths#List_of_deaths) says 23 dead so far in “accidents.”

What the hell is that? I did some time in combat and I never had to do a backflip, help another guy do a backflip or bend over with my ass sticking out so another guy could jump off my ass to do a backflip. I guess I missed out on the elite training Belarus offers.

Huh, learn something new every day. Looked like a really pathetic gymnastics floor exercise.
