A Russian singer who called Vladimir Putin an "idiot" and is accused of donating to the Ukrainian military has died after falling from the window of his 10th-floor apartment, according to Russian media reports.

Vadim Stroykin fell to his death during police checks over his suspected ties to Ukraine, Russian media reported on Thursday.

He would face 20 years in prison if charged and convicted of supporting a terrorist organization for his alleged support of the Ukrainian military, they said.

Stroykin is said to have gone into his kitchen for a glass of water before being found dead on the ground outside the palace.

The 59-year-old musician was not involved in politics, but had spoken out about the war in Ukraine, posting regularly on VK, the Russian equivalent of Facebook.

“This idiot [Putin] declared war on his own people as well as a brother nation,” he wrote in March 2022. “I do not wish him death; I want to see him tried and put in prison.”

After the death of Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader, in an Arctic penal colony in February last year, Stroykin wrote: "Bastards."

The circumstances of Stroykin's death are being investigated by Russia's Investigative Committee. He joins a long list of Russians who have died under unusual circumstances or in other mysterious incidents over the past two decades.

Many Russians have been regularly punished for "discrediting the Russian military" in social media posts since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but Russian authorities have stepped up their campaign against the opposition in recent months.

Last week, a senior Russian colonel died after falling from a window 50 meters high, while Colonel Alexey Zubkov, an employee of Russia's Investigative Committee, is fighting for his life after a similar fall.

One of the highest-profile incidents was that of Ravil Maganov, the chairman of Lukoil, Russia's second-largest oil company, who fell from a sixth-floor window at an exclusive hospital known as the Kremlin Clinic in 2022.

In 2023, Marina Yankina, a prominent war official and head of the financial support department for the Western Military District of the Russian Defense Ministry, was found dead after falling from a 16th-floor window in St. Petersburg.
