https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-ballet-star-vladimir-shklyarov-104333106.htmlVladimir Shklyarov, a world-renowned Russian ballet star, has died after falling from the fifth floor of a building on Saturday.
His death was confirmed by the Mariinsky Theater, a venue in the city of St. Petersburg where Shklyarov was the highest-ranking dancer.
This is a huge loss for the entire Mariinsky Theater team, it said.
While Russian authorities have launched an investigation into Shklyarovs death, the preliminary cause has been judged an accident, Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti reported.
In the days after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Shklyarov was quoted as speaking out in support of peace.
I am against the war in Ukraine! I am for the people, for a peaceful sky above our heads! he was quoted as saying in a Facebook post by Alexei Ratmansky, a Russian-Ukrainian former ballet dancer.

He leaves his calling card at the crime scene.
He is proud that he has total immunity and the power to commit these crimes.

Like tall-building designers would omit the 13th floor from elevator numbering panels, because the public considered it bad luck, Putin will have to find another floor for his critics to "fall" out of.
