A tragedy
Another fall??
Killed, for talking about the invasion of Ukraine.
A lot of important people fall out of windows and off balconies in Russia 🤔
😪😪
Why do so many people fall from balconies in Russia.
Questions need to be asked. No matter why or how he fell there is something odd here.
RIP. 😢
Yep another person has “fallen”…….
So sad 😢
Nooooo!!! He was so young! How can a 39 yr old ballet dancer fall off a balcony?
Bless his soul full of grace and may the angels fly him home to heaven ❤❤❤😢
Public opinion, as expressed in comments on YT, is such that even if Putin was to swear on a copy of "The Communist Manifesto" that he had nothing to do with Shklyarov's death, NO one would believe him. Perfidious Putin . . . .
Some dont believe he fell hespoke good english also
I heard he opposed the war with U 2:01 ukraine
Как же жаль, это великий танцовщик, никто не помог человеку в тяжелой ситуации! Светлая память!
Putin strikes again. And this is DT's buddy. God help us all!
Absolutely sad
What a Beautiful dancer he was
The Best ever Ive seen
Unbelievable two well known artist fallen from a Balcony
Unbelievable
💔
Falling off balconys and out windows is common if you speak out against the Russian Government. I wonder if he said something he shouldn't have.
Remember, half of America voted for the guy who befriends an alleged murderer.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and perfect gift with the world,rest easy.🕯
He lived for his country. Dance for his country….And he got killed by his owned country. All because he criticized an authoritarian leader.
Vladimir Shklyarov wanted peace between Russia and Ukraine. Peace for all of the world.
So sad to hear
He commented suicide or cowardly Putin had him killed with a push, buy why?
"Falling"
He was taking powerful painkillers in preparation for back surgery- back and hip problems are common in male ballet dancers after many years of powerful leaps and lifts and turns. Some of these drugs can cause hallucinations and paranoia. Then again, he did criticise the invasion of Ukraine 2+ years ago, so..? Whatever the reason, he is gone, very sad for his wife and 2 young kids
This is tragic! WHY? This must be investigated!
Next … THIS will be happening in America to those who speak out against Trump and MAGA.
How did he piss off putin
WOW another person that 'fell from a balcony'??? Putin needs to come up with a new way to dispose of his enemies. This is horrific.
An “investigation” was launched.
This is very very suspicious
Russia seems to be in the midst of a falling out of windows/off of balconies epidemic. Notwithstanding, this is very tragic. May he rest in peace.
Sad day of the ballet world…
My condolences 😔
Trump can't wait till his detractors start accidentally falling from balconies.
Lo siento mucho
did he have any questionable/critical social media posts?
How tragic… I saw him dancing in London Coliseum- unforgettable performance, what a loss!
Probably criticized Putin. You know what happens to his critics.
WHY the fuq do Russians keep falling off tall buildings ⁉️
Did he cross Putin ⁉️
💔💔 very sad !
Another balcony fall? Hmm…
Disgusting murderer!! No mercy on the murderers!!! Americans and world beware. May he rest in peace and comfort to his wife.
He was a critic of Putin.
