Top Putin war official plunges 160 feet to her death from high-rise building
2023-02-17
[NYPOST] A high-ranking Russian defense official in the war against Ukraine was found dead Wednesday after falling from a 16th-floor window in an apartment building.

Marina Yankina, 58, was discovered by a passerby at the entrance of a high-rise on Zamshina Street in St. Petersburg, Russian news Telegram channel Mash reported.

She is believed to have fallen 160 feet to her death. Her personal belongings and documents were found on a 16th-floor balcony in the building.

According to a preliminary investigation, it is believed Yankina did away with himself.

Mash reported that a few minutes before allegedly taking her own life, Yankina called her ex-husband and told him what she was about to do.

She also asked the man to summon police to the high-rise on Zamshina Street where he lived.

#11  Is the fan fiction that the Soviets put a gun to her head forcing her to call her husband to ask him to summon police to clean up the body before 'suiciding' herself?

IDK, possible.
