Full text
This document consists of a film transcript and biographical analysis of Mikhail Trepashkin, a former KGB/FSB officer who became a legal representative for victims of the 1999 apartment bombings. It details his early career under Nikolai Patrushev and his 1995 exposure of FSB and GRU involvement in arms smuggling to Chechnya. The text outlines Trepashkin's collaboration with Alexander Litvinenko, Sergei Yushenkov, and the Kovalev commission, as well as his efforts to represent the Morozov sisters at the 1999 bombings trial. Significant allegations are made regarding the planting of a pistol on Trepashkin in October 2003 to prevent his participation in the trial. The document explicitly claims that an anonymous tip predicting the bombings originated from the FSB and that the main suspect, Gochiyayev, had business links to FSB-affiliated criminal groups.
