Although I’d quibble about Newsweek defining this guy as an oligarch. He was vice president at a company that was disbanded due the company president’s opposition to Putin. It’s very possible this guy is just a former executive that refused to bend or hand over some dirt or something. It doesn’t appear he fits the definition of oligarch at all.
Unless we’re just using the word to refer to all Russians above peasant.
It’s barely even funny at this point.

This has to be an onion headline at this point, no?
An office with a view to die for
It’s the wholesale murder of political enemies to consolidate power by an autocrat.
I don’t think it was ever “funny”.
