          I don’t know much about Russian politics, but I seem to remember reading something saying that the people in potential positions to replace him are all crazy ultracons, so probably not a lot would change. Obviously the world would be better without him in general but I’m not sure how much relief it would ultimately bring.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    When I become a political speaker I’m going to make my hobbies piano moving, snake catching, deep sea fishing, and free climbing.

      …the mushrooms he saw in the yard of his home, right before diving from the fifth floor window in his excitement to pick them up and being almost saved by a passer-by, helpfully trying to slow his fall by shooting a few bullets up at him

      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.

    We had a case of death cap mushrooms in a Beef Wellington in Australia. The cook was convicted of killing her ex in-laws. Sounds familiar.

    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 community for discussing events around the World

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.
