Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Intern: But comrade doctor, the man was obviously shot!
Comrade Doctor: Not so comrade, the mushrooms simply happened to be 9mm lead and thus he can reasonably have been said to have died of lead mushroom poisoning.
He had some mushrooms and instantly shot himself in the back a couple of times before he threw himself out of the window. Totally normal, nothing to see here.
A normal day in Russia.
Sure, "accidentally"
At first I read "Putin died" and I cannot even begin to describe the emotions going through me while I checked the sub name, before realizing I missed a word.
Same here. Dammit.
Same
Dammit.
An interesting thought for sure, a thought about preparing for winter with, eh, expected uncertainty and fuel crisis started to form in my head. Like framing the balconies and additionally insulating old balcony doors and such stuff. Not even speaking about a reserve of matches, salt, sugar, canned meat and such.
Oops, what a dummy!
His enemies have started to avoid Windows and BUM, a new method. Putin is an inventive killer. Unlike Netanyahu who just kills en masse.
Which one is BUM?
I had to re-read it 3 times to realize that BUM wasn't meant to be an acronym (which is also a new method) or nether regions of the body, but >>!BAM!<< in their own language. We also say 'bumm', but with a long 'm'.
Russia has a long, long history with poisoning, going back to at least Stalin's time.
I think they have like a huge collection of all the world's poisons in St. Petersburg.
Also Rasputin.
There wasn't any hot polonium in his area
He's not the first Putin enemy to die from accidental mushroom poisoning. Look up the scientist Vitaly Melnikov.
There is an interesting podcast called Sad Oligarchs that document alot of these sort of deaths in Russia.
When talking about the alot of accidental poisonings, accidental drops from very high buildings, and suicides by two bullets to the back of the head, I always imagine an alot with the face of Putin.
Reference, with image of standard alot: https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html?m=1
If you need an army of assassins, I'll allot a lot of alots to you.
accidental heart attacks, falling from the boat, exploding planes, falling from the plane.
likely using DEATH cap, anamita phalloides, which very toxic to the liver and grows all over EURASIA. lemme guess hes next choice of poison is aconitum, WOLFSBANE. the plant is so toxic you can get poisoned just by touching it.
Death caps and destroying angels can be treated if you catch them in time. It's just by the time you realize it it's too late usually.
α-Amanitin. Amanita looks edible. Common way to die. Also a very easy cover-up if they enjoy foraging for food. A lot of species are foragable, but a lot are also deadly and hard to differentiate. Definitely sus, but I wouldn't be surprised if this guy ate something similar to a death cap.
I'm conflicted.
As an "enemy" of Putin, I have to assume assignation, but no windows? Russia has lots its way, are the classics no longer respected.

Friends say he passed away at home after eating mushrooms he found in the yard of his home.
Though he was a mushroom expert, the mushrooms he collected turned out to be poisonous.
This is such a "wink, wink " to readers if I ever see one
If an Amanita, they are universally known amongst mushroom experts and even just foragers, never trust any white mushrooms with their look. There is a very low chance he wasn't poisoned.

When I become a political speaker I’m going to make my hobbies piano moving, snake catching, deep sea fishing, and free climbing.
A Russian coworker once lamented that he couldn't collect mushrooms in our area since he was not familiar with them like back home. Guess it's not an unusual thing to do in Russia.
Boiler repair on oil rigs on the weekend?

What? So, the 6th floor, toss out the window, is abandoned.
they ran out of windows.
At this point I think anyone important in Russia is staying on the ground floor at all times! Bungalows only!
"accidental"
