On "REN-TV," threats were openly relayed to me from the FSB of the RF.
As a representative of the victims of the apartment bombings in Moscow, I cooperated with the public commission for the investigation of the bombings in Moscow and Volgodonsk, acting as an expert.
With many years of experience in investigative work, I verified the testimony of Gochiyayev and performed other functions.

At the direction of the falsifiers from the FSB, the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office brought charges against me for the following.
