Publications by Yuri Felshtinsky
He published a number of books on history of the Communist movement. In a book "Leaders the mobsters" he described Bolshevik party as a mafia-like organization where "almost no one died by a natural cause", based on hundreds of primary and secondary sources. This includes poisoning of Vladimir Lenin, Felix Dzerzhinsky, and Maksim Gorky by Genrikh Yagoda on the orders from Joseph Stalin, murders of Mikhail Frunze, Vyacheslav Menzhinsky, and Leon Trotsky, poisoning of Stalin by Lavrenty Beria, and other similar episodes
Felshtinsky also wrote a book Blowing up Russia, together with Alexander Litvinenko.. In the book, Litvinenko and Felshtinsky describe history of the Russian apartment bombings that had happened in September 1999. According to authors, the bombings were in fact committed by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), as a false flag operation intended to justify Second Chechen War. Anti-Kremlin oligarch Boris Berezovsky sponsored the book.
In 2007 investigator Mikhail Trepashkin said that, according to his FSB sources, "everyone who was involved in publication of the book 'Blowing up Russia' will be killed", and that three FSB agents have made a trip to Boston to prepare the assassination of Felshtinsky
