Events Regarding State Secret Allegations

Shebalin, together with officers from the USB FSB RF [Internal Security Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation], found both the memo on DOR [Operational Search Case] 'Bratany' and 4 reports, including the one containing data on Dargiev and his connections. However, instead of investigating his involvement in the events at 'Nord-Ost', the USB FSB RF, together with Shebalin, carried out another provocation against me so that I would not uncover the truth regarding the events at Dubrovka. The USB FSB RF demanded that Shebalin take the 4 discovered reports and the draft memo on DOR 'Bratany' (with Dargiev's data) obtained from me to the Main Military Prosecutor's Office and make a written statement about receiving all these documents from me for the purpose of hiding them from a repeat search. Shebalin did exactly that in early December 2002. Immediately, experts recognized all these documents as a state secret of Russia. The experts were FSB RF officers, clearly interested in fabricating a case against me.

Thus, my attempts to prevent a terrorist attack and then identify all persons involved in it ended with me being brought to criminal responsibility for disclosing a state secret of Russia, which caused grave consequences for the state. That is how everything was turned upside down. And I have been held in custody for 4 months already on charges of a serious crime.

Allegations in the Case

It turns out in the case:

• The same operatives/employees from the USB FSB RF acted as 'experts', drawing up a knowingly false conclusion;
• The FSB RF acted as the injured party;
• The FSB RF, through its illegal representative in court, is putting pressure on the presiding judge Sedov S.P. and, together with him, is engaged in the adjustment (fabrication) of evidence of my guilt.

On the first and second pages, I provided the contents of 4 PTP [wiretap] reports and draft memos. And now let's see what
