If journalism is the first draft of history, what happens if that draft is flawed?
In 1999, four Russian apartment buildings were bombed, hundreds killed,
but even now we still don't know for sure who did it.
It's a mystery that sparked chilling theories.
I'm Helena Merriman and in a new BBC series,
I'm talking to the reporters who first covered this story.
What did they miss the first time?
The History Bureau, Putin and the apartment bombs.

For more than a decade, Nicolas Maduro ruled over Venezuela.
And during those years, inflation skyrocketed.
Political opponents were imprisoned.
The situation was so volatile that an estimated 8 million Venezuelans fled their homeland.
It's a stat that is staggering when you hear it out loud.
And it underscores the sheer scale of the economic and political pain that many Venezuelans have felt in the last several years.
But still,
that doesn't necessarily mean Venezuelans wanted the US president to swoop in and say he'll be running the show and selling their oil.
Frankly, over the last several weeks,
we haven't actually heard a whole lot from Venezuelans themselves who are inside the country about what they want for their future.
