Girls behind bars. Charykova, Lotkova, more
Today we visited two girls in the sixth pre-trial detention center - Margarita Charykova and Alexandra Lotkova.
Margarita Charykova , let me remind you, this is the girl without a rectum who is under investigation and in custody for amphetamines. She was returned from the hospital on Matroska to the sixth isolation ward. Now she is in a cell for 12 people. The shower she so badly needs is not in her cell. She was discharged, Margo says, with a temperature of 39. It didn’t get any better. The stomach is swollen. Postoperative sutures and adhesions hurt a lot. I can't really go to the toilet. They only give painkillers. He can’t sleep, he wanders around at night like a ghost. Cellmates confirm: he barely sleeps at all.
In general, Margot’s camera was active. No “everything is fine” for you. The girls are new here, they are not afraid to criticize the administration. You can't eat local food. It’s difficult to sleep on mattresses; during the “shmona” they ask where the bruises come from, and the bruises are from a skinny mattress and an iron bed with holes. Products from the store arrive expired. The parcels sent by relatives disappeared somewhere. I haven't been able to take a shower for more than ten days. The linen is somehow not clean when they change it - it feels like we are exchanging it with another camera. We wash it ourselves, but we have to dry it on a rusty radiator, and then they refuse to change it because it is stained....
Margarita is crying. She says: “I’m tired mentally and physically. Completely bad thoughts are creeping into my head.” We console her as best we can. We promise that we will strive to change the preventive measure. Charykova complains that she weighs 60 kg compared to her former 47. She asks: if everything is fine with me, then how can this be?
One girl says: “Margarita is bad, but in general this may also be because the local food is inedible (she takes out and shows us food, soup with boiled pasta and cabbage with stew fibers, it really looks somehow unappetizing), so everyone eats “Only bread and my stomach swells,” she says, “when I got into the cell, it seemed to me that all the girls were pregnant.” We break it off and eat a treat - gray bread. The bread is ok.
When we leave, we talk to the doctor. She says: “Everything is fine with Charykova. She is receiving the necessary amount of treatment.” After Matroska, he says, his stomach is not so swollen. I say: “But Margot just told me something else. And she said that she only gets painkillers.” The doctor says: “I don’t know why she says that. I just looked at her, everything is fine.” However, the pre-trial detention center has already submitted an application to the Department of Health so that Charykov could be seen by a proctologist.
Strange. But in “Matrosskaya Tishina” this couldn’t be done?.. The doctor says: “A gastroenterologist looked at her there.” My partner Zoya Svetova says: “But this is a completely different doctor!” Doctor: “Well... a gastroenterologist - he has a wide specialization.”
By the way, from today Margarita is given a diet. This is half an egg, 50 grams of cottage cheese, 50 grams of apple juice, 50 grams of meat, milk. But this is not the pureed food she survived on. It seems to me that Margarita should be freed. It's very difficult for her.
Alexandra Lotkova. The girl who shot from a wound in the subway and received three years in prison. We talked to her in quarantine. She makes a favorable impression, she is shocked by the verdict, she was firmly counting on a suspended sentence and exceeding the limits, she says that she is very sorry for what happened, but does not admit guilt, claiming that she could not have acted differently. She says that when she heard the verdict, she smiled so that the court would not think that it had broken her. At least later, of course, she cried... She denies belonging to an af or a fairy. She says that she is a volunteer: she worked with homeless people, orphans, and dog shelters. He says that at the trial there were only good characteristics. The vice-rector of her university came with a guarantee. Links the court's bias against her to the anti-gun lobby. But here I somehow doubt: the information wave is not about that at all. Here suddenly another note slips through: the investigator was biased because she felt sorry for the victim, a fellow countryman, he is also non-Russian...
Hoping for cassation. Now, first of all, she dreams of a comb. Sasha says that she received a weapons license after she was attacked, robbed and punched in the face a couple of times.
Well, something like this, the girl herself is beautiful, cultured, developed, sociable, not arrogant, not boorish. He still doesn’t quite understand where he is, but he’s getting used to it. There seem to be no conflicts with fellow inmates. Finds out that it is possible to receive a transfer, dictates a list. Thanks to everyone who cares about her and who supports her. On Monday they promise to transfer Sasha from quarantine to a cell. We will monitor her fate.
Of course, I want to help the girl, since prison and a colony will not make anyone better. And the girl is not the worst at all.
