This UFSB document, dated November 8, 2000, details the decision to charge Anatoly Viktorovich Mylnikov with making false reports of terrorism regarding events in August 1999. Investigator I.V. Asochakov alleges that Mylnikov authored threats to blow up buildings in Moscow on behalf of a group called "Volunteers of Russia" if N.V. Zander was not released. These threats were reportedly sent to the General Prosecutor's Office and Novaya Gazeta with the assistance of A.Z. Tumasyan. A significant anomaly appears on the second page, where the signature line for the accused is signed "Krymshamkhalov" and dated January 25, 2002, despite the text identifying the accused as Mylnikov. Yusuf Krymshamkhalov is a known figure convicted for his role in the actual 1999 apartment bombings, making this procedural overlap or clerical error highly notable. The document connects pre-bombing threats to the broader legal pursuit of suspects after the explosions occurred.
