This document contains two deputy inquiries from State Duma members V.V. Pokhmelkin and S.N. Yushenkov regarding the 1999 apartment bombings and the Ryazan incident. The first inquiry is addressed to Prosecutor General V.V. Ustinov, highlighting the discrepancy between FSB Director N. Patrushev’s 'training exercise' claim and then-Minister of Internal Affairs V. Rushailo's 'prevented terrorist act' version of the Ryazan events. It notes that a parliamentary commission failed to form due to lack of votes, leading to the creation of a Public Commission to investigate allegations of FSB involvement and other inconsistencies. The second inquiry directly asks V.B. Rushailo to provide the data that led him to initially announce on September 24, 1999, that a terrorist act had been thwarted in Ryazan. The inquiries are accompanied by the documentary film 'Assassination of Russia,' which is submitted as evidence for verification.
