Not the death. The method. The location. They have to be the laziest assassins ever—or Russia really needs to improve their building codes.

Or, maybe, it's a terror tactic for everyone to keep in line, since it is a signature method of killing opponents. It is also gruesome enough to be a huge deterrent. There is nothing funny about this, it's completely tragic.

killing opponents
