I know, I'm asking if this kinda thing was ever occurring in Ukraine prior to the war (people falling out of windows). It seems incredibly Russian
The USSR were high on assassinations of their own people if that's what you're asking. Obviously it's not a brilliant strategy because it just means that the people who are the most talented are going to not want to rise to the top or going to want to the rise to the top in other countries.
It's ultimately self-defeating, which of course is why only Putin thinks it's a swell idea.
Is it, or was it before the war? In Ukraine, like you're asking?
