Galkin subsequently gave an interview where he stated the FSB was behind the bombings. Possible that this was coerced but journalists present thought not. Novaya Gazeta subsequently published his statements. Galkin later retracted claiming torture. Later a film was made "Countdown" or "Личный номер" which fictionalised his story - Abromovich funded it, seen as propoganda cover up.
