On September 13, 1999, Chairman Gennady Seleznev (Seleznyov) presided over a Council of the State Duma meeting following the Moscow apartment bombings. During the session, Seleznev announced a report stating that a residential building in Volgodonsk had been blown up 'tonight.' This statement is highly significant as the actual Volgodonsk bombing did not occur until September 16, 1999, three days after this meeting. The Council discussed scheduling briefings from the Director of the FSB (Nikolai Patrushev) and the Ministers of Defense and Internal Affairs. Members also noted that the Chairman of the Government (Vladimir Putin) was traveling and expected to return the following day. Vladimir Zhirinovsky highlighted the presence of a nuclear power plant in Volgodonsk, while Sergey Ivanenko called for immediate accountability and referenced previous impeachment efforts regarding Chechnya.
