News has just come from the penal colony in Oryol: Oleg has been placed in a punishment cell for 15 days. As I understand it, he was disciplined "for sleeping during the day on Sunday."
I spoke with him on the phone a few days ago—it was obvious that our election campaign, the hunger strike in Novosibirsk, and above all the announcement of the rally in Moscow, were weighing heavily on him. Constant searches, and so on. Then they imposed this punishment "for sleeping," and he told me it looked like a pretext for sending him to a punishment cell.
It’s the familiar tactic of Kremlin cowards and scoundrels—to remind me that they have a hostage who will suffer if I keep "stirring up the people."
I remember everything, and Oleg told me that he would endure it all.
