Full text
This document outlines the investigation into the 1999 Russian apartment bombings, featuring an interview with Lev Semyonovich Levinson of the public commission and testimony attributed to suspect Achimez Gochiyayev. Levinson discusses the commission's work on the Ryazan 'training exercise' incident and notes significant official reluctance to provide information, while expressing doubt that the Volgodonsk and Moscow bombings were committed by the same group. The official prosecution version identifies Khattab and Abu Umar as organizers, with suspects like Yusuf Krymshamkhalov and Adam Dekkushev already sentenced or in custody. In contrast, Gochiyayev's handwritten testimony alleges he was framed by the FSB through an agent named Ramazan Dyshekov. Gochiyayev claims he actually attempted to warn authorities about the explosives after the first blast and asserts that the FSB eliminated witness Raul Chichikov to cover their tracks.
