A commotion in Mordovlag
In the heart of the Mordovlag - in the village of Javas and in a tooth meadow - the "headquarters of the Tolcon" works. Friends and supporters of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova came to the IK-14 colony in order to support her and tell the local residents about her requirements.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is in the camp hospital, after nine days of the hunger strike, she developed severe dermatitis. State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev, who was allowed a date, said that Nadezhda is alone in the ward for three people in the former maternity ward, and near the chamber - a round -the -clock post of security.
Constantly observe the "headquarters of the toleck". Now it has 10-15 people who came mainly from Moscow. They stand at the UFSIN building with wards in single pickets and putting up leaflets with calls to help Tolokonnikova and the presentation of her requirements. Draws leaflets and posters by the artist from Krasnodar Lusine Dzhanyan.
Personal exhibitions of Lusine Dzhanyan were held in Krasnodar, Sochi, Novorossiysk, Moscow, Perm. Her works were exhibited at the Russian Academy of Arts, the Moscow Museum of Contemporary Art, in the centers "Vincuvod" and "Artepley". For almost 10 years, Lusine worked as a teacher of Krasnodar University of Culture and Arts. On September 24, she was fired due to the support of Pussy Riot and other political shares.
- During the day, we are picket the UFSIN building in the village of Javas. We tried to coordinate the mass picket so that at least five people were with posters and proclaim some slogans, but the administration refuses to us, completely unthinkable reasons put forward that the UFSIN building is in federal property, they say, they cannot agree on mass events near this building. They offer to go to the park. Such a story, slightly reminiscent of "Strategy-31". So activists walk the streets, distribute leaflets in support of Nadi, throw them into mailboxes, communicate with the local population, explain them. There are people who share our requirements, support. Some motorists drive, signal. But many people who believe in the TV do not understand what is happening, why we spend time on something incomprehensible. Local residents told us about the head of this colony IK-14, characterizing it with the word "Bukharik".
- And before your eyes a person died at the entrance to the colony ...
- Yes, the wildest scene. An elderly man fell, he became ill, and died in front of everyone. He was with his wife. Before that, he was refused a date with his son for two days, they did not let him in, they arrived from Gelendzhik, a long road, all these bags are heavy. Apparently the core. Plus, the lights turned off in the premises for visitors, it was very cold, hypothermia. All this together led to the fact that when he lifted heavy bags and tried to convey to the entrance, he had a heart attack. Now the guys from our headquarters help his wife organize the sending of the body to Gelendzhik.
- How long will your headquarters have to last?
-It makes sense to be present here until the situation with Nadia enters some standard regime, that is, they do not yet allow, as it should be according to the law, so that the defenders can have access to it, telephone calls, transmission, dating. Until some actions to fulfill her requirements begin. The main thing is the investigation of all cases mentioned in her letter. By the way, the commission of the Presidential Council on Human Rights confirmed everything, despite the fact that they are now trying to switch public attention from problems in the zone to the far-fetched problem of organizing someone's hunger strike from the outside. A completely sucked from a finger is that someone could organize a hunger strike of Nadi. Rather, she could organize someone from the inside to be supported in this way. In any case, it is stupid to think that the hunger strike is declared in silence so that no one knew about it. Of course, this is done to attract attention to the problem. But now attention is switched so that people are less important than what is happening in the colony itself, where only one toilet is still only, 5-10 people are driven there. There, now on an emergency order, sewers, plastic pipes are laid, they change the old rot to a new plastic and try to bring something at least to a minimal correspondence. The second: the convicts who are ready to testify are ready to confirm Nadia's words, the colony should be removed, the leadership of the colony should be removed before the end of the audit, these women need to be transferred to another colony somewhere temporarily, transferred to a safe place so that they can tell what is happening there. These are the basic requirements of Nadi.
- And you do not demand the transfer of Nadia to another colony?
- If nothing happens, then it must be translated in any case. Because in Mordovia she will not be allowed to calmly sit her term. But now the main requirement on our posters: "Stop slave labor in IK-14."

Lusine Dzhanyan
“Spended simply, the whole village of Javas stands on the ears,” says Lusine Dzhanyan . - Now I am standing near the UFSIN building 30 meters from the picket. If I look directly, I see one person in a civilian with a camera, turn a little to the left: I see on both sides of the road two people in civilian clothes, also with cameras, there was still a UAZ car, there was a major and four employees. Here is the only board of ads where we can legally glue leaflets, we glue and move away, and a citizen in civilian clothes peels them. We approach, glue it again. We are not allowed anywhere else. We tried to put up on fences, five people immediately approached us: two in the Uffer uniform and three - "art historians in civilian clothes", as I call them. They said that we violate the law of the Republic of Mordovia and have no right to put anything. They followed us on the heels and torn off what we glued. If it weren’t so scary, it would look funny. People with cameras, cars on the street: wherever we go, they are everywhere.So now the board of ads in the village of Yavas looks like

- I posted each exhibition or action in my personal blog . Work in support of Pussy Riot were exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art near Marat Helman. There was a media resonance. Naturally, this could not but remain unnoticed by the leadership of the university. Plus, work was still posted in open access, there was a file, everyone could print on a T -shirt and go out to support the girls. Literally, I will give the words of the dean: "There is no need to draw our Putin like that." They printed all my work from all my pages of personal, printed the work of the White Circle , on which I portrayed the protesting cardboard men, it was exhibited in Kiev at the International Media Exhibition. They called me to the carpet, as with a scoop. The rector gathered all the vice -rectors, a university lawyer, exhibited a dossier with printed photos. They tried to report, demanded to delete photos from LiveJournal. Of course, I refused. The rector ran out of the office in hysteria. They shouted, threatened, told me that I am engaged in extremism, that it can adversely affect students, my art is inquisitively affected by them. They sent a folder to the vice-governor with an angry letter, some teachers signed up. Repeatedly I was called to the rector, then the vice -rector made comments several times personally, tried to influence me through the head of the department, through the council of teachers. At the collections of the team, they tried to condemn my work, said that I am ugly drawing Putin and that I was the enemy of Orthodoxy, because I promote Pussy Riot. It was all very unpleasant, humiliating. On September 24, a meeting of the Academic Council was held, there was a secret vote, and 20 out of 31 people, according to my data, voted against. At first they did not give comments, but then they said that most of the academic council decided that my activity was incompatible with the university. Directly on the day of the meeting, the dean caused me several times. There was so nervous atmosphere, they were afraid of drawings and said that this article, the folder on you lies with the vice-governor, it is fraught, they can plant and so on. It is very unpleasant, after all, I have been working there for almost 10 years, since 2004. On the other hand, I want to say thanks to obscurantists from the university, because I have time and energy that I gave to students, now I can be here in Mordovia, and help. I understand that everything that we do here is very important. Therefore, I draw posters.At the collective meetings, they tried to condemn my work, said that I am ugly drawing Putin and that I am the enemy of Orthodoxy
