Publications By Yuri Felshtinsky

Felshtinsky has published a number of books on history of the Communist movement. In one of those books, Leaders the mobsters, he described the 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 the poisoning of Vladimir Lenin, Felix Dzerzhinsky, and Maksim Gorky by Genrikh Yagoda on the orders from Joseph Stalin, the murders of Mikhail Frunze, Vyacheslav Menzhinsky, and Leon Trotsky, the poisoning of Stalin by Lavrenty Beria, and other similar episodes.

Felshtinsky also wrote Blowing up Russia with Alexander Litvinenko. In this book, which was sponsored by former Russian oligarch and adversary of Vladimir Putin, Boris Berezovsky, Litvinenko and Felshtinsky describe the history of the Russian apartment bombings that had happened in September 1999. According to the authors, the bombings were committed by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), as a false flag operation intended to justify the Second Chechen War. Felshtinsky is sometimes referred as an associate of Berezovsky. since Litvinenko and Felshtinsky were supported by Berezovsky in their research work.

In 2007 investigator Mikhail Trepashkin said that, according to his FSB sources, "everyone who was involved in the 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.
