At the end of 1999, Russia was experiencing economic strife and endless political power struggles. As Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister, apartments across Russia were bombed in the middle of the night, killing hundreds of people and creating a climate of fear.
In this new, detailed and informative BBC investigation series, Helena Merriman looks at how the Russian government blamed Chechen militants for the bombings, yet there are signs of a darker conspiracy left unexplained. The series itself has an interesting hook, exploring how events in our past may have been more significant than we thought at the time, and how these events explain the world we live in today.
