In this article, Kommersant correspondent Olga Allenova reports on the FSB's attempt to use Scotland Yard to interrogate former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko regarding his alleged contacts with Achimez Gochiyayev, the primary suspect in the 1999 Moscow and Volgodonsk apartment bombings. Litvinenko, living in London after receiving political asylum and co-authoring 'FSB Blows Up Russia' with Yuri Felshtinsky, claimed to possess 'important information' from Gochiyayev which he intended to present to a public commission on July 25. Litvinenko refused to cooperate with the UK authorities, stating he would not deal with structures similar to the FSB. The document touches on the central allegation that the FSB orchestrated the 1999 bombings and highlights the legal and political maneuvers surrounding the Kovalev commission's investigation.
