I heard about this podcast on Saturday and binged it all the next day. I never knew about the 1999 apartment bombs, and I like to learn more of recent history. I was aware of the other Chechyan incidents but didn’t know what was the initial reasons for the hatred of them by the Russians and the time of the bombing last with Putin’s rise to power. Thank you for this history “nugget.”
