This 2002 official letter from the Kapotnya District Internal Affairs Department in Moscow responds to an inquiry from State Duma Deputy Sergei Adamovich Kovalyov, a key figure in the independent investigation into the 1999 Russian apartment bombings. Acting Head V.A. Durnov informs Kovalyov that in September 1999, the local police department received no reports—via telephone or otherwise—concerning explosives planted in the basements or premises of residential or non-residential buildings. The document serves as a formal negative response to the Kovalev commission's attempts to track local law enforcement data from the period of the bombings in Moscow. This record helps establish the official activities and reported threats in specific Moscow districts during the 1999 crisis.
