Colonel Alexey Zubkov - an employee for the Russian Investigative Committee - is fighting for his life after he plummeted 40ft from a bathroom window, according to Telegram channel VChK-OGPU.

Miraculously, Col. Zubkov was 'conscious' after his fall and 'briskly answered questions' but was unable to explain the reasons for his plunge.

"Mysterious" is a bit of a reach..

Hard for us to know whether they're being punished for failure or are trying to stand up to Putin from within.

They've got to do something about those damn windows; everyone of them sounds like a safety hazard.

Gravity. The reason for the plunge is gravity.

Yeah, but it's actually a common misconception that plunge or falling will kill you. It's in fact, completely harmless. It's the sudden stop at the end that's dangerous.
