Decided Not to Look for This Address

• In this decision, she was supported by the author of the article 'We know who...', Major Izmailov.
• In the newspaper, after two of his articles presenting Kapanadze's version, there was not another word about the warrant officer.

Cases and Deaths

• Stanislav Lyubichev, a traffic police inspector, was sentenced in 2003 in Kislovodsk to 4 years for aiding terrorists:
  • In August 1999, he allowed a truck with explosives into Kislovodsk, despite the visible malfunction of the vehicle and the driver's lack of a license.
  • Two witnesses—the manager of a food warehouse in Kislovodsk, Yusuf Krymshamkhalov's uncle, and the guard of that warehouse—were unable to appear in court: over the past four years, they had managed to die.
• Most of the accused also did not live to see our day:
  • Denis Saitakov
  • Timur and Zaur Batchayev
  • Khakim Abayev
  • Ravil Akhmyarov
• Khattab (with whom, apparently, Achimez Gochiyayev hid for a long time—as a valuable witness or in some other capacity) was killed in 2002.
• Max Lazovsky died in 2000.
• Admiral German Ugryumov, whose involvement in the events was written about by Yusuf Krymshamkhalov and Batchayev, died in 2001.
• A janitor from Kashirskoye Highway was killed shortly after she expressed suspicion about the involvement of one of the surviving residents in the events.
• Radio Liberty employee Alexander Batchan died a few days after he began working on the topic of the Ryazan exercises.
• During the year of the Kovalyov Commission's existence, two of its 20 members passed away:
  • Sergei Nikolayevich Yushenkov
  • Yuri Shchekochikhin
• On October 22, Mikhail Trepashkin was arrested on another charge of weapons possession.
