Three large sacks of white granules, wired to a timer set for 5:30 AM, were found in the ground floor of a Ryazan apartment building on 22 September 1999—perhaps preventing yet another apartment bombing in a series that had terrorized Russians all month. FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev later told a TV reporter that these sacks contained nothing but sugar, which were being used in a test of public vigilance.

This official “initiative group survey” from the Leningrad Rock Club was completed by Sergei Kuryokhin (1954-1996) of the band Pop Mekhanika sometime in the 1980s.

This St. Petersburg graffiti wall, which commemorated the Leningrad Rock Club, survived for two decades until its 2010 erasure by the building’s new owners.
