"If everyone does not know about this story - what we will cost then!"

We publish from the archive of the history of dissent in the USSR of an international memorial (f.102. OP.1. 78) a typewritten reprint of the letter of political prisoner Julia Voznesenskaya. Notes (Yu.V. - this is Julia Voznesenskaya) made by the addressee - N.L. (Natalia Lesnichenko). Part of this letter was published in the “Chronicle of current events” No. 47. The letter was written around (but not earlier) 08/23/1977 during a stage from Vorkuta to a camp located in the village of Boza Irkutsk region. Yulia Nikolaevna Okulova (Voznesenskaya - Literary Pseudonym) was born in 1940 in Leningrad. In the mid-1970s, she actively participated in samizdat activity: the editor of the anthology of informal poetry “Lepta” (1975), the Almanac “Time measure” (1976, did not publish), the co-editor of the Samizdat magazine “Clock” (since 1976). She was also not alien to the “street” activity: she participated in the preparation and the very attempt to hold a rally on the anniversary of the Decembrist uprising (1975), one of the organizers of the petition in the Leningradsk Executive Committee with the demand to erect a monument to the victims of the Stalinist repressions (1976), participated in the application of human rights (in particular, the slozung “Freedom of Political Medical”) buildings and city transport (1976). In 1976, she was arrested, accused of “spreading knowingly false fabrications ...” and sentenced to 5 years of exile (serving on Vorkuta). In the summer of 1977, she was sentenced to 2 years in the camp for the unauthorized leaving of the place of exile. Punishment was serving in the Irkutsk camp, after the liberation - the co -actor of the Samizhda almanacs “Woman and Russia” (1979) and 1979) and 1979) and 1979) and 1979) and 1979) and 1979) Maria (1980). In 1980, I emigrated to Germany. Now everything is already, now I have already seen the worst. They don’t show me anything else, you can go back and come back: I reached their limit and looked out of the limit. Read. ... They brought me with a fellow traveler into camera 247 already late at night. The mud is impassable. But we had no strength, climbed onto the shkonki / Nara - N. / and fell asleep with a dead sleep. In the morning, the sleeves were poured and these Augi stables were cleaned. They just lived cleanly, when suddenly - a stage from a colony of juvenile criminals, from Tomsk. ... The company is picturesque to extreme, there are just beauties. Everyone has just turned 18 years old, so they are transported by adult colonies. It is felt that they live very amicably: one girl fell ill at the stage, so they brought her almost in her arms, laid her to the best place, watered tea, wrapped them with their poor rags. ... An hour later they were transferred to another camera. ... On May 22, they warn me with the fellow traveler about tomorrow and lead me to the bathhouse. On the way, former youngsters join us. With them again, the sick. High temperature, nonsense, sharp abdominal pain and diarrhea. I ask: “Did the doctor call?” “They called. She gave several tablets and said that she could go to the stage“. Small, with songs, the flock undresses and we are leading to the shower. A shower is 6 meters, from strength 8. We are 20 people. We stand tight. And suddenly, boiling boiling water! We shied to the walls, screamed. A minute later an ice shower poured; Then boiling water again! Real boiling water, Natasha, to burns! At first I thought that something just broke there in their bath mechanics there. I rumbled with all my might with a bare heel along the door. The cop came up / in this case - a woman - a security worker - N. / I explain to her that the shower has spoiled, and she laughs. I am furious: “Open immediately!” Normal water immediately went. We caught our breath, began to soap hair. And then suddenly everything stopped - they turned off the water: “Come out!” And we all have our heads in the foam. Already in hysteria, we demand that the water be turned on. Included. Boiling water. Then ice. Everyone again at the walls, squeals, rub their eyes. Open the door: “go out”. Somehow rinse their face with cold water, the girls jump out into the corridor. The fellow traveler and I are spit on everything and wash off our soap with cold water. The cop is torn, but we do not pay attention. The water is blocked completely and then we only go out. And the girls crowded right there near the door of the shower and yell, like cut. We do not understand anything, we stand in the doorway. Next to us, the overseer and the doctor, a guy of about 25 years old. Both are very happy with something. The cop yells: “Go, go, nothing will happen to you!” The girls ran along the corridor. It turns out that along the corridor there were men - warders and boys from the Hozov services /prisoners working in cleaning the prison, malyars, etc. - N /. They stand and laugh at the poor, and they run along the corridor. I have long understood that this washing at the stages is always accompanied by peeping and acquired a bad habit of washing in a shirt. I did not run, but calmly went to the entertaining peasants and gave them several affectionate words, and then went to the doctor and to the on -duty overseer and thanked them: “I read about Solzhenitsyn’s similar things, I saw such scenes in“ ordinary fascism ”, but I never thought that I would have the happiness of being attended by fascist fascist entertainment. Many thanks, you gave me excellent material! “. Balteli, silent, and I, with a wet tail, calmly walked along a living corridor. Not a single dog was rocking. But I was ready to growl with anger, especially on a woman, I was just shaking, but not from cold water. We got into the camera, collected things on the stage and suddenly heard screams from the camera from the side of the camera. Young animals shout. Then everything was silent, but we did not sleep. After some time - screams again. “Probably, they were taken to the stage,” we decided and began to wait for them to come for us. They are so noisy, these girls that we did not really react to screams. And the next day they are again transferred to us, and here we learned what kind of screams they were. I recorded everything from their words. August 21 to Novosibirsk prison from VTK-2 / Educational and Labor Colony / The stage of girls following adult colonies arrived-22 people. At the stage 2, the girls fell ill: Lisa Maksimova had a heart attack, Ira Krupenkova had heat and diarrhea /I wrote about her. And in the zones there is now an epidemic of intestinal diseases, everywhere quarantine/. Doctors in Novosibirsk did not provide any help, they did not remove from the stage. In the morning, 22 girls were taken to the bathhouse. In the afternoon announced the stage. According to the rules, before the stage they are taken to the bathhouse, and in the evening they were led a second time. They did not want to go, explained that they had already washed in the morning, but even forced the sick Ira Krupenkov to go. I already wrote about free striptease - I myself fell under the mockery, designed for the irresponsibility of youngsters. After the bath, some girls went to bed immediately, and some began to prepare for the stage. In the afternoon, they sang songs, and on this occasion the overseer scandalized with them. The girls later told me that in the colony no one forbade them to sing, and they did not attach importance to the prohibition of the overseer, they did not believe that it was forbidden to sing in prison. The foreman threatened them with the reprisal: “You still don’t know our orders, but I will show you something goodbye.” In the evening no one sang, there was not even much chatter-they prepared on the road. At twelve o'clock in the morning, the door opened and 2 off-duty overseers with a fire hose in his hands appeared. "We will arrange a bath on goodbye to you!" - they said. In the corridor there were still overseers. ... Two entered the cell and began to water the girls, with a strong pressure of the cold stream, they drove them along the cell. Many were undresses. Then one watered and beat them with a hose, and the other one at a one at a one at a time in the corridor. In the corridor, two lines stood in two lines caused by the duty in a prison reserve. The girls were missed through the system of about 24 people. They beat them with fists, hose, keys. Then they drove them to the boxes in boxes. These corridors are raw, dirty, on the floor of puddles, there is almost no light. Girls fled half -naked, barefoot. Patients with healthy ones. From the basement began to be taken to the corridor to the boxes. The warriors overtook their other corridor and waited, building again in two lines. They were missed the second time through the system. Everyone was locked in boxing for 4 people - 21 girls /one sent the day before for a fight in the cell - it seems, for this /. They spoke among themselves that someone needed to make someone to remove the camera. 5 girls were released and led back into the cell: "After 10 minutes you will not remove it - we will repeat." The table was turned in the cell, the beds were flooded, the water stood ankle. In boxing, the girls were afraid to talk even in a whisper. They began to suffocate /in these boxes and one half an hour later there is nothing to breathe! - Yu.V./ mockery, threats rushed from the corridor. They were threatened with handcuffs, humble shirts, and new beatings. After 10 minutes, everyone was already choking. The first lost the consciousness of the light of Medvedev. The girls began to knock on the door, ask to let them out, take out the light. “When the legs stretched out, then we will open it.“ But the door nevertheless opened 15 minutes later. The woman’s duty officer ordered her to put her on the floor and go to the box again. Thewater came to her senses already in the medical unit. The doctors looked at her business, learned that she was sick, asked why she was traveling not with a doctor. In the presence of Sveta, they informed the phone that Natasha Kachulina began to take the epilepsy roller The doctor said the doctor’s childhood: “What they deserve it, they pretend to be”. When the next day I demanded that the head of the monitoring of all the beateners and start the investigation, she asked me an interesting question: “Why are you not interested in what they were?” The prison authorities began the investigation, interrogated all the victims and promised to punish the guilty, I do not believe in these promises - very little the bosses were surprised by this story!
