The representative of the colony administration demanded that Tolokonnikova refuse too, since she "is not a reader of the library, which indicates the absence of an active life position." In addition, the reason for the refusal of Udo, he called Tolokonnikova’s reluctance to participate in the educational nature of “Miss Charm.” Tolokonnikova said that she was taking part in intellectual events. “I do not participate in the conducting hours on weekends, but I prepared materials for the thematic watch for my performance, although I have little time after work. I was preparing reports on the currents of Westerners and Slavophiles, some aspects of the Silver Age in Russian culture. I don’t know how I was not recorded in the library, I also take books from there,” Tolokonnikova said.
At the beginning of the meeting, Tolokonnikova said that she was not going to repent and plead guilty. As Tolokonnikova said, the colony administration refused to maintain a request for UDO precisely because of the lack of repentance, although the Constitutional Court forbids to justify the refusal of UDO. According to Tolokonnikova, at a meeting in the colony, the representative of the public observation commission told her that if she does not abandon her views, he would go to Mordovia again. "In IK -14 with Tolokonnikova, educational conversations were repeatedly held about repentance and admission of guilt. She refuses," said Judge Lidia Yakovleva.
At the meeting, lawyers petitioned for familiarization with Tolokonnikova’s personal file, representatives of the colony objected to this, but the judge satisfied the request.
“In the hospital part of the colony, they told me that they could not do anything with my headaches,” Tolokonnikova noted. The colony is signed in the impossibility of ensuring human conditions for the treatment of the prisoner, lawyer Dmitry Dinze said.
On March 6, the lawyer Irina Khrunova filed a petition for Udo Tolokonnikova. On March 13, the IK-14 convicted committee evaluate the behavior of convicts to support the petition. According to the head of the Mordovian PMC, "the commission did not support the application, since Tolokonnikova has violations of the regime and she does not admit her guilt."
