Blowing up Russia: Terror from within (Template:Lang-ru) is a book written by Alexander Litvinenko and Yuri Felshtinsky about September 1999 campaign of Russian apartment bombings and other terrorism acts that have been allegedly committed by Russian State Security Services to justify Second Chechen War and bring Vladimir Putin to power. Later Geoffrey Andrews helped the authors to translate the book into English. The book was sponsored by Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky after his exile from Russia.
Unsuccessful in finding a publisher for the book, they printed an early draft in Russian for would-be publication in Moscow in 2004. On December 292003, Russian Interior Ministry and FSB units seized 4,376 copies of the book printed in Latvia and purchased by Soviet-era political dissident and prisoner Alexander Podrabinek's Prima information agency, which had passed customs control and were being trucked from Latvia to Moscow for retail delivery . Later it was made clear that the action had been sanctioned during the investigation of divulging state secrets initiated in June 2003. Prodrabinek was summoned by the FSB to come for interrogation on January 282004, but refused to answer the questions.
Case of GRU officer Aleksey Galkin involuntary confession
The book includes incomplete transcript of confessions by Aleksey Galkin on which all the accusations are founded. It doesn't identify a man standing behind the camera who is ordering Aleksey Galkin not to answer the question of journalist whether Galkin voluntarily confesses. The voice belongs to Abu Movsaev - director of state security department of self-proclaimed Ichkerian Republic.
A senior lieutenant of the GRU, Aleksey Galkin was filmed, during his detention by Chechen separatists and under threats of torture, stating that the apartment bombing in Buynaksk had been organized by GRU and FSB under the general command of the Head of the 14th Section of the Central Intelligence Office ,Lt. Gen. Kostechko and GRU Director Valentin Korabelnikov The interview of Galkin was conducted by journalist Robert Young Pelton, under surveillance of Abu Movsaev - director of state security department of self-proclaimed Ichkerian Republic, Robert Young Pelton wrote about it in his book Three Worlds Gone Mad .
On the videotape, the voice of Movsaev interrups Galkin when the journalist asks whether Galkin voluntarily confessed, saying that "You don't need to answer on this question".
Galkin later escaped from the Chechen rebels.
A specialist in practical phsychology Michail Istomin commented on the videotape of Alexey Galkin confessions: "It is evident that a man is in the condition of prolongated shock. He has mydriatic pupils, poor mimics and mask of calmness which allow us to conclude that this man is either in narcotic trance or has a brain trauma. He is in famished condition and is in letargy and broken emotionally. We may notice that he fears to say too much and he is controlled by his captors".
Doctors diagnosed Galkin with four broken ribs, ribs fragments had entered into his lungs, his jaw was broken in three points, he had a brain trauma, and shooted through arms. Galkin retired from the Army due to his health condition in summer 2002 after rehabilitation course.
Comments about the book
"The story of the apartment blocks explosions will haunt Putin the way the image of the killed Tsarevich haunted Boris Godunov", said Alexander Goldfarb, the executive director of International Foundation for Civil Liberties .
