This collection of articles from late 2003 reports on the judicial and political repercussions of the 1999 apartment bombings, focusing on the trials of Yusuf Krymshamkhalov, Adam Dekkushev, and former FSB officer Mikhail Trepashkin. Trepashkin alleges that his prosecution for disclosing state secrets is a retaliatory act for his investigation into the bombings, specifically his identification of Vladimir Romanov—a suspect with alleged FSB ties. The documents describe procedural anomalies in the closed trials, including claims that case volumes were classified as 'secret' with a ballpoint pen just before proceedings began to exclude the press. A letter from Krymshamkhalov and the late Timur Batchayev asserts they were 'blindly' recruited to transport explosives they believed were for military or administrative targets rather than residential buildings. The reports also detail the final, tense meeting between murdered deputy Sergei Yushenkov and Boris Berezovsky in London, and mention the 'FSB. Hexogen. Ryazan' investigative series by Novaya Gazeta. Victims of the Volgodonsk bombing provided testimony regarding unidentified individuals seen filling sewer manholes at the blast epicenter two days before the explosion, suggesting a coordinated effort beyond the official truck-bomb version.
