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.

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 29 2003, 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 28 2004, but refused to answer the questions.
