Vadim Stroykin, a Russian singer recognized for his vocal opposition to President Vladimir Putin and his support for the Ukrainian military, passed away after reportedly falling from a window during a police raid at his apartment in the Admiralteysky district of St. Petersburg on Wednesday.

Reports from The New York Post and Fontanka indicate that Stroykin was last seen on the tenth floor as he went into his kitchen to get water before he supposedly opened a window and fell to his demise.

Stroykin, who was facing a potential twenty-year prison sentence for alleged connections to a terrorist group, was a fervent anti-war campaigner.

In a social media post on VKontakte in 2022, he called President Putin an "idiot" and demanded that he be tried and incarcerated.

Hailing from the Ural region, Stroykin graduated from the British School of Journalism and was a host at the radio station Ekho Moskvy - Yekaterinburg, where he presented the show 'Anthology of Author's Song.' He also established a guitar school and was active in music education.

Stroykin’s demise occurs amid a troubling pattern of enigmatic incidents involving outspoken opponents of President Putin.

For instance, Russian ballet dancer Vladimir Shklyarov, known for his opposition to the war, fell from a fifth-floor window last November, an event that Russian authorities initially deemed an accident.

Ongoing investigations are examining the details surrounding Stroykin’s death.
