    Putin and the Apartment Bombs: Trailer

    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. The government blamed Chechen militants. Many reporters agreed. But then the whispers started. Was something even more sinister going on? 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. What did they get right first time around? And, in the chaos and confusion of unfolding events, what did they miss?

    Four bombs. Twelve days. Hundreds dead. What really happened in Russia in September 1999? Helena speaks to BBC foreign correspondent Andrew Harding to revisit a story that has haunted him for decades. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Harding takes us inside a world of power struggles, inflation and a country on the brink. Then, in September 1999, just weeks after Vladimir Putin becomes Prime Minister, the apartment bombs begin. Russia is gripped by fear. The question is: who did it? In Season 1 of The History Bureau, presenter Helena Merriman returns to one of the most contested -- and consequential-- stories in modern Russia. In September 1999, just weeks after Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartments buildings across Russia. The bombs exploded in the middle of the night, killing hundreds of people while they slept. In this season, Merriman returns to the story with the reporters who were there on the ground. What did they get right first time around? And, in the chaos and confusion of unfolding events, what did they miss?

    001 - Introduction - The Character of the Borders

    Dive into the intriguing world of Stories of the Scottish Border, a captivating guidebook and history penned by the enigmatic Mr. and Mrs. William Platt. This eccentric work weaves together the rich tapestry of the Scottish Borders, exploring the military strategies, treachery, and bravery of those who fought for control over this tumultuous region. Discover the legendary Border Reivers—raiders who thrived on the edge of lawlessness, living by their wits and riding out to steal livestock. Their lives, governed by a tough form of justice, are cloaked in tales of romance and chivalry, yet often reveal a more brutal reality. The haunting ballads that capture their experiences resonate deeply, evoking a sense of loss and longing. The Borders and Northumberland, with their timeless beauty, remain largely unchanged, making it a perfect complement to the book to follow along with a map and images, bringing the wild and imaginative essence of this land to life. - Summary by Jhiu

    Send us a text A lost scroll. A boy king. And a revolution that remade a nation. But was Deuteronomy really ancient law—or a bold new manifesto, crafted to legitimize power? In this episode, we look beyond the legend to ask: Was Josiah’s great reform inspired by divine revelation, or was it a brilliant act of political theater? Join us as we question the story behind Deuteronomy and explore how one mysterious book could upend everything a kingdom thought it knew. Support the show
