This is an interesting video about a book (published appx. 2016), comprising the history of Russia from Yeltsin to Putin, and what went wrong –
hint: the west has completely misunderstood what was going on in Russia from 1989 to now.
The 1999
apartment 'terrorist' bombings and the "re"action that made Putin so popular (and gave him a reason for war in Dagestan and Chechenia) were obviously staged by the successor organisation of the KGB, the FSB.
