    Did it ever happen that the same person accidentally fell out of the window multiple times in a row until they got it right?

        Oh, so all the technology in the world can’t solve a ‘skill issues’ problem, quality research, comrade!

      Well, they tried to kill Rasputin a bunch of times, but never succeeded. I don’t know if they tried the window thing.

        Unfortunately there isn’t actually much evidence for this being true, just some stories told by Russian soldiers who already hated and feared the guy. There were a lot of myths around the whole thing that mostly seem to be bs.

        Basically “oooh big magician guy … scary, woooo… did you know the youngest daughter survived too?”

        That said, I do not believe they attempted any window-hurling, that probably would have been a good test for magical powers.
