“The temple and the sports field are there, but Navaln will not see them”
IK-2 prisoner activist Konstantin Kotov, nationalist Dmitry Demushkin and former Yukos executive Vladimir Pereverzin spoke of particularly harsh living conditions in the colony, according to RIA Novosti.
According to D. Demushkin, IK-2 is considered “the strictest colony in Russia, almost all convicts know it.” “It just came to our attention then. Apart from Karelia, Krasnoyarsk and Omsk, there is only one colony: Vladimirsk. There are very difficult living conditions there,” explained D. Demushkin.
He is sure that the prison guards will not use force against A. Navalna if he is in this colony, but will instead house him in Sector A with greater control, where the prisoners are kept in a “stable state”: his hands They are always behind their backs, with their heads down, they can only sit or stand, it is forbidden to talk to other prisoners.
“There are no cameras, but barracks for 60 to 100 people. Eight hours standing, eight sitting, seven and a half hours sleeping, brisk walks three times to the dining room. Pogulis tenth, get up at six thirty, the sixth should already be in bed, you should be dressed by now, stand in a ‘quiet’ state and wait for the siren to sound, “he explained.
According to the former prisoner of the colony, the diet is relatively poor: oats, barley, sometimes buckwheat porridge, boiled soup with unruly porridge in the morning.
“People say they have a sports field there (in the colony) and a temple. But Navaln won’t see any of that. He will not go to any church, he will not visit sports fields or libraries, everything is forbidden there. Only in the regime’s squad, if he is transferred there, will he be given the opportunity to do something, write a letter or read, “he explained.
There are only 100 jobs in the colony, which could be shared by 700-800 convicts. “If he is allowed to go to the temple for a week or two for 15 minutes in his sophomore year, that will be his only incentive,” the former prisoner explained.
According to her husband, A. Navalnas himself will not help many prisoners. “Navalnas is a person who receives a lot of attention. And he, inadvertently himself, will help many very strongly, since now all attention will be focused on the high prison fences. That area will become famous. They also understand it and will act with the utmost respect for the law ”, he is convinced.
“Everything is being done there so that you depend on the administration of the colony”
Konstantin Kotov, who was convicted of alleged rapes during the rallies and was not released until December 2020, told RIA Novosti that he was having a hard time in the colony. The regime there is extremely strict and, for the slightest offenses, a verdict can be rendered, actually depriving you of the opportunity to leave early.
“When I was there, I felt quite pressured psychologically. I found myself in a team where there were 50 people who did not speak to me. As I learned later, they were banned by the administration. I was only able to speak to supervisors or convicts who help the administration. I had only one hour of personal time a day to write a letter or read books. The rest of the time I was busy with the scheduled activities of the regime, “he explained.
“You spend an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon counting prisoners. The prisoners are in the square with the platoon and they wait for the officer to come and read them all. Garden work, once or twice a week: sweep those tracks. In winter, snow is dug up, in summer the flowers are watered. And watching television the rest of the time. We constantly watched television: federal channels, music channels, an organized group sitting in the living room all day and watching television under supervising ushers. You can’t fall asleep, close your eyes, notice it right away and make me watch TV, even if you don’t want to. Basically, by force, “explained K. Kotov, a prisoner in the colony.
Maria Eismont, a lawyer interviewed by Openmedia, said that it was a colony of an extremely strict regime, where everything possible was done so that political prisoners “feel completely dependent on the administration, do not have free time.” He also confirmed that inmates can be prohibited from communicating with each other. “One or two convicts” were allowed to communicate with his defender K. Kotov. The lawyer stated that in no other neighborhood did he lose defenders after 5-6 hours, as in Pokrove.
Warnig, 65, doesn’t like publicity. When asked how often he meets with Putin, the latter’s friend and former Stasi agent replied that the Russian president did not have a mobile phone, but added: “If I need to see it, we are already fixing it.”
