Moscow — A Russian journalist who had reported recently on clandestine Russian paramilitary groups in Syria died on Sunday after falling from the balcony of his fifth-floor apartment in Yekaterinburg, the authorities there said.
The journalist, Maksim Borodin, 32, was hospitalized in a coma after he was found sprawled out below his balcony in the city’s Kirov district on Thursday, according to New Day, the local news agency where he had worked. On Sunday morning, he died.
While the police are still investigating Mr. Borodin’s death, it is not being treated as suspicious, Russia’s Investigative Committee said in a statement.
Yet in a country where opposition activists and muckraking journalists are routinely attacked and sometimes killed in connection with their work, that assertion was met with derision in some quarters. The doubters pointed to a telephone call Mr. Borodin made the day before he fell.
In the call early Wednesday, he told a friend, Vyacheslav Bashkov, that there was a man with a gun on his balcony, and that several others in masks and camouflage clothing were lurking in the stairwell leading to his apartment. In an interview, Mr. Bashkov said that Mr. Borodin had called back an hour later and said he had been mistaken and that he thought the armed men were probably taking part in a training exercise.

I do not believe this was an accident. No way.
