They did a third because Russia had surpassed them in the field of comedic historical repeatition by fielding 3 (possibly 4) False Dmitry during the Time of Troubles.

Prague had just the right number of defenestrations to keep it special, IMO. People go out the window in Moscow so often, it’s not even called ‘The However-Manyeth Defenestration of Moscow’, it’s just ‘Tuesday, whatever man’.
