Two Russia n colonels have reportedly died in separate incidents involving falls from windows within a two-day period, adding to a growing list of high-ranking officials who have died under mysterious circumstances since the commencement of Vladimir Putin 's war in Ukraine . Artur Pryakhin, 56, the head of a regional branch of Russia 's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in the Republic of Karelia, died after falling from a fifth-floor window of an office building around noon on February 4th.
Local authorities stated that Pryakhin left a suicide note in his office, apologizing to his wife, asking for forgiveness from his loved ones, and urging them not to blame anyone for his death. Russia's Investigative Committee confirmed his identity and ruled his death a suicide, while law enforcement officials are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his demise. Pryakhin, a police colonel earlier in his career, was appointed regional FAS head in February 2014, according to Russian newspaper Izvestia. He also served as the head of the Economic Crimes Department of the Ministry for Internal Affairs of the Republic of Karelia from 2010 to 2011.On the same day, in Moscow, Colonel Alexey Zubkov, the head of Russia's Investigative Committee Forensic Center, plunged from a fourth-floor window at his office building. Zubkov survived the fall and was found conscious, avoiding serious injury, reported local news outlet MK.ru. He claimed to have gone to the bathroom—the room from which he fell—but had no recollection of falling from the window. Zubkov was hospitalized, and an investigation into the incident is ongoing. VChK-OGPU, a news outlet that claims to have inside information from Russian security forces, suggested that Zubkov might have been stressed the day before a final board meeting; his superiors (First Deputy Director of the SEC Alexander Sobolev and General of the Main Directorate of the Fire Department Anatoly Sazonov) were present at the scene of the incident.And on Thursday, 58-year-old Russian musician and radio host Vadim Stroykin died after falling out of a window in St. Petersburg as his apartment was being searched by authorities, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported. The search reportedly took place as part of a criminal case. There has been a string of incidents in recent years involving prominent officials falling from windows. Ravil Maganov, the chairman of Russian oil giant Lukoil, the country's second-largest oil producer, was found dead on September 1, 2022, after falling from a hospital window in Moscow. The circumstances surrounding the 67-year-old's death remain unexplained. He had worked at Lukoil since 1993. A few months later, on December 25, 2022, Pavel Antov, a Russian politician who had criticized Putin's invasion of Ukraine, was found dead after a fall from a window in India. Antov, a member of Putin's United Russia party and a wealthy sausage tycoon, was found lying in a pool of blood outside the Hotel Sai International in the district of Rayagada, which is in the state of Odisha
