Local media sources reported that the bank executive died instantly at the scene from the injuries she sustained. Baikova is just the latest Russian executive to have died after falling from a building window in what has become a suspicious trend. Dan Rapoport, a well-known Vladimir Putin critic who was exiled from Russia, lost his life after plunging from his Washington DC luxury apartment building last August in what was described as an apparent suicide- claims his family denied. Weeks later, Russian oil giant Lukoil chair Ravil Maganov fell from a six-floor window at a hospital in Moscow and died. Before his death, Lukoil had been vocal in his criticism of Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine. Maganov was at the hospital facility for unspecified treatment when he allegedly fell out of a window on the sixth floor of the building.
