Russian singer-songwriter Vadim Stroykin died on Feb. 6 while security officials were raiding his apartment, the Russian human rights NGO OVD-Info reported. <\/p>\n

Stroykin reportedly fell out of a window while officers were visiting his home as part of a criminal investigation into the singer’s alleged donation to Ukraine’s Armed Forces.<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n

The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify this report. <\/p>\n

Russian media claimed that Stroykin withdrew to another room while officers were raiding his St. Petersburg apartment. He then fell out of a 10th-floor window and reportedly died at the scene. At least one Russian outlet has referred to his death as a “suicide.” <\/p>\n

Russia’s Investigative Committee has reportedly launched an investigation into Stroykin’s death. <\/p>\n

Stroykin previously spoke out against Russia’s full-scale invasion<\/strong><\/a> of Ukraine on the social media website VKontakte in 2022. His posts condemned the war and criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Since the 2022 invasion, a number of prominent Russian figures have mysteriously died<\/strong><\/a> after falling from windows. Acclaimed Russian ballet dancer Vladimir Shklyarov, who also denounced the war in Ukraine, died<\/strong><\/a> in November 2024 after allegedly falling from his fifth-floor apartment. <\/p>\n

Shklyarov’s death was reported as an “accident.” <\/p>\n

Russia has also detained and imposed harsh prison sentences against citizens for publicly criticizing the war<\/strong><\/a> or donating small sums of money to Ukrainian charities<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u2014\u00a0acts that are now considered treason under the Russian criminal code. <\/p>\n
