Culturologist Elena Volkova, who is in correspondence with Pussy Riot participants, received a notification on Friday that her email sent on September 26 was not delivered, since the "addressee was not found".

On Thursday, the EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs Cecilia Malstrem demanded that Tolokonnikova provide worthy conditions and allow meeting with his family and lawyers.
On Thursday, lawyer Dmitry Dinze said that Tolokonnikova was not allowed by the investigator of the Investigative Committee of Mikhail Marchkov, who conducts an audit on her application for threats by the deputy head of IK-14. The FSIN and the TFR denied this information - according to the official version, Marchkov did not go to the HPP -21, he sent a request there about the possibility of Tolokonnikova’s participation in investigative measures.
Meanwhile, according to Dinze, the TFR decided to appoint a forensic medical study of Tolokonnikova’s health. “Thus, for the unfriendly attack, the FSIN, the Investigative Committee decided to go strictly official way, namely to appoint a forensic research,” explained Dinze. “If it offers that all these days Tolokonnikova’s defense was illegally not allowed for medical reasons and limited lawyers to provide legal assistance, including the verification of the criminal application, the issue of bringing it to the attraction to the crime. Responsibility of employees of the medical and sanitary unit No. 13, as well as employees of LPU No. 21 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Mordovia, who covered violations of medical workers. "
The Tolokonnikova support group holds single pickets in a dentition and near correctional institutions. This week, activists install "campaign cubes" there with quotes from Tolokonnikova’s letter about the situation in the colony. The first such cube appeared at the entrance to IK-14. On Friday, the artist Lusine Dzhanyan arranged a performance here - she painted a portrait of Tolokonnikova under the supervision of security and colony officers.
On October 2, Tolokonnikova said that she could resume a hunger strike , which she interrupted due to "a very serious condition and complications that began." It will continue the hunger strike if three of its main requirements are not fulfilled: to investigate the conditions for the detention of women in the Mordovian IK-14, to ensure the safety of convicts who testified about the situation in the colony, and transfer Tolokonnikov to another correctional institution.
