  1. Vladimir Zhirinovsky (1946–2022), then DUMA deputy: "In mid-September 1999, a series of terrorist attacks attributed to Chechen terrorists served as an impetus for the Kremlin to launch the second Chechen war. Among the Russian population, the new war in the Caucasus was popular. The campaign became a decisive factor in the rise of the then new one Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. The explosion of a residential building in the southern Russian provincial town of Volgodonsk on September 16, 1999, which was allegedly carried out by Chechen terrorists and left 17 dead, was announced at a State Duma meeting in Moscow three days earlier. September 13, 1999: "Parliament Speaker Gennady Selesnyov read us the news about the explosion. However, this only happened three days later, on September 16, 1999." Apparently the FSB made a mistake. Putin headed the FSB until he moved to the prime minister's office in August 1999. Similar explosions occurred in other cities, including Moscow, with a total of 357 dead and over 1,000 injured. Putin went to the Kremlin over the corpses of his own compatriots.
