Questions and Answers

Question: In your testimony, you stated that the barrels from the aluminum powder-silver paint you purchased and the bags from the ammonium nitrate used for the manufacture of the explosive substance were thrown into a landfill near the settlement of Mirny. Specify who exactly took and threw away this packaging, and what transport was used for this? I also ask you to clarify: was the packaging thrown away all at once after the manufacture of the explosive substance or gradually as it accumulated?

Answer: I was not present during this; I know from Yoska's words that he did it. The used packaging was taken out all at once.

Question: You are presented for inspection one of the six barrels discovered and seized during the inspection of the garbage dump near the settlement of Mirny on August 2, 2002. What can you say about this barrel?

Answer: I have carefully inspected this barrel and can say that by all external signs it is similar to the barrels that contained the aluminum powder used for the manufacture of the explosive substance in July-August 1999.

Question: Describe the concrete mixer in which the mixing of the explosive substance took place.

Answer: The concrete mixer was on two wheels, with an electric motor in the back; the wire was pulled from a power pole. The color of the concrete mixer was gray from stuck concrete; I don't remember the actual color of the body. Switching on and off was done with a switch with two buttons. Height

Answer: Regarding payment, we didn't decide anything together; Yoska himself decided to give a bag of sugar.
