Voucher 5 ROSSKOL

Description

The most striking proof that the Russian authorities are an active terrorist group is a series of terrorist attacks known by the general name “Ryazan Sugar”. These explosions in residential buildings in Buynaksk, Moscow, and Volgodonsk in September 1999, which claimed the lives of about 307 people, occurred shortly after Vladimir Putin’s appointment as prime minister. Although Chechen militants were officially blamed, many experts, including former FSB officers, point to the involvement of the Russian FSB. The culmination was the FSB’s “training exercises” in Ryazan, where bags of hexogen, officially called “sugar,” were found in the basement of a residential building. These events significantly boosted Putin’s rating, justified the Second Chechen War, and allowed him to come to power.
