DESCRIPTION:
You are invited to come and see the Assassination of Russia

by Charles Gazelle

Transparences Productions, France, 2002

A 52-minute documentary, using footage originally shot

by NTV.

In September of 1999, a series of middle of the night

explosions shook Russian cities destroying several

apartment blocks. More than 300 people died as they

slept. The attacks, attributed to the Chechen

terrorists, boosted the popularity of the hawkish

would-be President Vladimir Putin. Then, a strange

thing happened. A bomb was defused by the local

police, the trail of evidence leading to the door of

FSB, the Russian secret service. The FSB was forced to

admit "an ill-conceived exercise". Ever since, a

question has lingered over Mr. Putin's presidency: Who

Done It? Why no one has been convicted of 9/99

attacks? Why the investigation was suppressed?

Witnessess disappeared? Inquisitive journalists

imtimidated? Critical TV stations closed down?

The film examines the September explosions, and

focuses on the foiled bombing in Ryazan on September

22, 1999. It puts a human face onto the tragedy- you

will hear from those who were there, saw it, and lived

through it. The film vividly portrays the

inconsistencies in government officials' reactions to

Ryazan, and their later attempts to consistently blame

the Chechens. Questions about the possible involvement

of the Russian special services are raised.

The film is effectively banned in Russia but has been

broadcast on state TV in the Baltic states.
