    In Russian it’s called “расстрельная должность”, which means position, where firing squad eventually visits you.

      Generally in English they’d usually be called “A Patsy” or “Strawman” - someone disposable to do the unpleasant work, whom nobody will particularly miss.

        That’s not what I meant. Position, not person, which everyone leaves by being killed(in soviet times) or imprisoned(now).
