...was not working for me, she was studying in the second year of medical school.
Tried to identify the Caucasians with whom Tumasyan communicated, many times.
I am saying now in the process I reported to the investigator, but the investigator did not record it in the protocol.
When the Caucasians came, they asked for Zander's husband, i.e. they called the name of Alexander Zander, and then asked where the wife was. I said that she is in prison, but from the question I realized that they know all this.
They started asking whether I am doing something for her, I said that I do what I can.
The Caucasians said they came to stir up Moscow and make fireworks, and offered to participate in terrorist acts, to blow something up and earn money on this.
Since I have known this group of persons for a long time, I treated this as boasting, i.e. I mean, in general, Caucasians, but specifically these people I did not know anyone.
I refused their offer.
Everything that was written in the paper, everything I heard from them, it was they who suggested I write an appeal so that they would release Zander, if she is not released, there will be explosions.
I did not start writing the appeal.
Literally a month later, I had already forgotten about all this, an explosion occurred on Manezh Square, in my opinion, it was August 31, and on the pager a message came that they are doing their job and that I can also help Zander.
This was connected with Zander. Immediately after this, I turned to the MVD told about what was happening. This was recorded and minuted/put in a protocol.
I was summoned, two generals were present, one from the FSB, the other from MVD who were from the terrorism department.
I reported on how the meeting with the Caucasians took place and what messages came to me on the pager.
They didn't believe me and I went to the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" publishing house, since I received another message that the explosions were continuing.
I wanted to say that such messages came to me in connection with the fact that this is connected with my activity.
I arrived at the editorial office of the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" and reported that there were explosions in Moscow and explosions would continue to occur, reported that I was at the MVD and reported there, but here too they treated me coolly/indifferently.
After this, they began to detain me.
I came to Pozner's program, wanted to raise the process on television.
Pozner has an assistant Porashutinskaya and she has an assistant and she met with me in a cafe, detained by the Federal Security Service.
For two hours they took a deposition/interrogation from me and including this kind of paper I wrote.
I wrote this with the aim to notify the people that explosions are appearing.
Then they detained me and said that they need to take handwriting samples from me and said that an expert analysis would be conducted.
Since they told me that there are various letters, I said that I did not send them, that I am reporting on the events taking place.
I became convinced that in the information among the correspondents there are the same agents who can betray me at the same moment and this topic is inconvenient for someone.
In 2000 they summoned me for interrogation, I don't remember when it was, they arrested me in 2002 from January 15.
In 2000 they summoned me and began to interrogate me, I began to ask what the investigator wants from me and in 2000 I wrote so many pages that it was possible to make 2 volumes.
Sentence and Repentance
I served a sentence in places of deprivation of liberty for 21 years.
The charge under articles 146, 177, 142 of the UK RSFSR I did not recognize.
I have now repented and set out on the path of correction, but I repent for the evil I did in my time.
Regarding the Appeal
I believe that this appeal appeared because Tumasyan was caught on drugs and this paper was handed to her, it could not have been with her for 10 months.
I don't remember if I wrote such things to Tumasyan and directly handed them.
It is quite possible that such a thing could have been written by me when they took samples of handwriting for handwriting analysis.
