Full text
This document consists of a bibliographic list of internet sources and specific newspaper articles concerning the 1999 apartment bombings and the subsequent Ryazan incident. It catalogs numerous reports from national outlets like Novaya Gazeta and Echo of Moscow, as well as local Ryazan publications such as Priokskaya Gazeta and Ryazanskie Vedomosti. The references track the immediate aftermath of the discovery of a suspicious device in Ryazan, documenting the transition from reporting a 'prevented explosion' to the official explanation of a 'training exercise.' Specific titles mentioned in the list, such as 'FSB. Hexogen. Ryazan' and 'Hexogen from the bazaar,' highlight the early focus on the role of security services and the source of explosives. Political figures Alexei Mitrofanov and Grigory Yavlinsky are cited regarding their reactions and claims of political provocation during the crisis.
