Actually, "stolen" in this context means that the bribes were not paid to the intended people.

I thought that I'm the only one who have seen this show. I think it was made by some random Lithuanians for the short lived channel MTV Baltic. Probably also influenced by loads of glue sniffing.

"That's what they all say!"
The 1999 Russian apartment bombings, which the Russian government says was the work of Chechens, is believed by some to be a false flag operation carried out by the government to justifythe second Chechen war. The Wikipedia page on the incidents is nonstop :stare:

quote:

In March 2000, the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta reported the account of Private Alexei Pinyayev of the 137th Regiment, who guarded a military facility near the city of Ryazan. He was surprised to see that "a storehouse with weapons and ammunition" contained sacks with the word "sugar" on them. The two paratroopers cut a hole in one of the bags and made tea with the sugar taken from the bag. But the taste of the tea was terrible. They became suspicious since people were talking about the explosions. The substance turned out to be hexogen. After the newspaper report, FSB officers "descended on Pinyayev's unit", accused them of "divulging a state secret" and told them, "You guys can't even imagine what serious business you've got yourselves tangled up in." The regiment later sued publishers of Novaya Gazeta for insulting the honour of the Russian Army, since there was no Private Alexei Pinyayev in the regiment, according to their statement.[69] At an FSB press conference, Private Pinyayev stated that there was no hexogen in the 137th Airborne Regiment and that he was hospitalised in December 1999 and no longer visited the range.[66]

quote:

On 13 September, just hours after the second explosion in Moscow, Russian Duma speaker Gennadiy Seleznyov of the Communist Party made an announcement, "I have just received a report. According to information from Rostov-on-Don, an apartment building in the city of Volgodonsk was blown up last night."[70][71][72][73][74] However, the bombing in Volgodonsk took place three days later, on 16 September. When the Volgodonsk bombing happened, Vladimir Zhirinovsky demanded an explanation in the Duma, but Seleznev turned his microphone off.[70]

Two years later, in March 2002, Seleznyov claimed in an interview that he had been referring to an unrelated hand grenade-based explosion, which did not kill anyone and did not destroy any buildings, and which indeed happened in Volgodonsk.[76][77] It remains unclear why Seleznyov reported such an insignificant incident to the Russian Parliament and why he did not explain the misunderstanding to Zhirinovsky and other Duma members.[76]

FSB defector Alexander Litvinenko described this as "the usual Kontora mess up": "Moscow-2 was on the 13th and Volgodonsk on 16th, but they got it to the speaker the other way around," he said. Investigator Mikhail Trepashkin confirmed that the man who gave Seleznyov the note was indeed an FSB officer.[78]

quote:

The Russian Duma rejected two motions for parliamentary investigation of the Ryazan incident.[79][80] The Duma, on a pro-Kremlin party-line vote, voted to seal all materials related to the Ryazan incident for the next 75 years and forbade an investigation into what happened.[citation needed]


quote:

The commission of Sergei Kovalyov asked lawyer Mikhail Trepashkin to investigate the case. Trepashkin found that the basement of one of the bombed buildings was rented by FSB officer Vladimir Romanovich and that the latter was witnessed by several people. Trepashkin was unable to bring the evidence to court because he was arrested by FSB in October 2003 and imprisoned in Nizhny Tagil, allegedly for "disclosing state secrets", just a few days before he was to make his findings public.[81] He was sentenced by a military closed court to a four-year imprisonment.[82] Amnesty International issued a statement that, "[T]here are serious grounds to believe that Mikhail Trepashkin was arrested and convicted under falsified criminal charges".[83] Romanovich subsequently died in a hit and run accident in Cyprus. According to Trepashkin, his supervisors and FSB members promised not to arrest him if he left the Kovalyov commission and started working with the FSB "against Alexander Litvinenko".[84]

In a letter to Olga Konskaya, Trepashkin wrote that some time before the bombings, Moscow's Regional Directorate against Organized Crimes (RUOP GUVD) arrested several people for selling an explosive RDX. Following that, Nikolai Patrushev's Directorate of FSB officers came to the GUVD headquarters, captured evidence and ordered the investigators fired. Trepashkin wrote that he learned about the story at a meeting with several RUOP officers in the year 2000. They claimed that their colleagues could present eyewitness accounts in a court. They offered a videocassette with evidence against the RDX dealers. Mr Trepashkin did not publicise the meeting fearing for lives of the witnesses and their families.[85][86]

Yup, I saw a Frontline documentary that covered some of this. Yeltsin and his cronies were nearing the end of his time in office and were freaking out that the next president wouldn't understand the way things were (IE the insane corruption would be exposed). They needed a trustworthy man to succeed him. They found Putin - while in office in St Petersburg, he had helped smuggle the major out of the country (and away from some pesky criminal allegations) by faking a heart condition. This was a dependable man that understood the way things worked. The only problem was that Putin had the natural charisma of a damp sponge and was unlikely to win a general election.

Conveniently, the apartment bombings happened before the election and Putin was front and center calling for revenge. He also took a very active role in the Second Chechen War that followed, hamming it up for the cameras whenever possible and starting the whole Strong Leader image. He handily won the election (which had been pushed back because of the war, naturally) in large part due to the constant media saturation of his involvement.

Also Alexander Litvinenko, who you may remember from such hits as being poisoned with polonium, wrote an entire book talking about the corruption and murder of the FSB and included a section not only on how the security services probably carried out the bombings but also how another bombing in Ryazan was only stopped by accident because some random bystanders and policemen happened to see three FSB agents planting hexogen in the basement of an apartment building, but then it turned out to be all just fine because it was just a training exercise where the FSB planted sacks of sugar (definitely not hexogen everybody and lab tests conducted by the FSB confirmed this so you know it's true) in the apartment building as a training exercise that was never announced to anyone and suspiciously resembled the actual bombings and was taking place just a few days later so really we should all just be glad the security services are on top of their game and go bomb Chechnya for all those other bombings.
