Hear a teaser for The History Bureau: Putin and the Apartment Bombs, from the
BBC. In September 1999, just weeks after a 46-year-old Vladimir Putin became
Prime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartment buildings across Russia, killing
hundreds of people while they slept.

The attacks plunged the country into panic. Families fled their homes. Residents
patrolled their blocks around the clock. An entire nation paralyzed by fear. But who
did it? It's a mystery that has fuelled some chilling theories.

Over 25 years later, journalists who covered the bombings still can't agree on who
planted the explosives or why. Presenter Helena Merriman returns to the story with
the reporters who were there on the ground.
