Italian equivalent of failed Russian window
???
Living in Russia, sincerely don't get the joke.
Asphyxiating because of the poisonous gasses from a pickled cabbage tank, or drowning in vodka, or something like that I can understand. But what's with the windows?
Russia has a reputation for suspicious deaths by defenestration.

Ah. No such meme inside Russia.
I mean, there are from time to time suspicious deaths of such people, and the timing is sometimes interesting, but these are all kinds of deaths, - heart attacks, car crashes, aneurisms , whatever.
