This document, published by Novaya Gazeta, presents the handwritten testimony of Achimez Gochiyayev, who was accused of organizing the 1999 apartment bombings in Moscow and Volgodonsk. Gochiyayev asserts his innocence and alleges that the FSB prepared and carried out the attacks, specifically naming Ramazan Dyshekov as a deep-cover FSB agent who facilitated the rental of warehouse spaces where explosives were allegedly stored. The document references the 'FSB. Hexogen. Ryazan' investigative series and includes claims from accomplices Yusuf Krymshamkhalov and Adam Dekkushev regarding their limited roles. It details how historian Yuri Felshtinsky obtained Gochiyayev's testimony in February 2005 and explores the suspicious death of witness Raul Chinchikov. The summary highlights Gochiyayev's claim that official photographs were fabricated by the FSB using his passport records because eye-witnesses, such as the realtor for the Guryanova Street premises, failed to recognize him.
