Happy belated New Year.

0:12

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

0:18

Any letters for Christmas?

0:21

Have any arrived? No, none yet.

0:24

None have arrived, but we sent everything, so it should

0:29

make it through. We mostly sent them to

0:33

Moscow by telegram.

0:38

We sent them. The beard, the beard—

0:42

I shaved it off, shaved the beard off again, the beard, the beard—

0:46

it's not allowed here, only up to 9 mm, one like

0:49

yours is prohibited.

0:53

here. I’ll try not to

0:57

end up here again, right—there’s nothing to do here.

1:09

How are you feeling?

1:11

Alexei: I’m fine, everything’s okay, thank you very much.

1:13

And in the cell—

1:16

is it cold? What? In the cell?

1:20

Cold? No, it’s normal. Well, I mean, in one

1:23

cell—I've been in several cells: first in

1:25

quarantine, then in the VKT, now in the SHIZO (punishment cell), somewhere

1:28

warmer, somewhere colder.

1:31

Somehow—it’s a practical issue. We’re trying

1:33

to sort it out. And books, any issues with the conditions

1:36

of detention? As for the conditions of detention—

1:40

there’s a little snag here, your honorables—

1:43

defendants, it’s much better here than in VK-6.

1:48

They also asked about IK-2 (Correctional Colony No. 2).

1:52

I could even talk about it. There is one problem, though.

1:55

There is one problem: I don’t know which court

1:58

I’m supposed to file with under these circumstances. The weather here is bad.

2:02

I don’t know where to.

2:05

The higher one, the higher one—well, yes. And how is the food?

2:10

How are things with the food? The food—how is it?

2:12

How is it? Fine. Everything’s good, everything’s good.

2:16

Please, have a seat.

2:18

Please. Court

2:22

is now in session.

2:29

Good afternoon, Your Honor, you can see my—well—

2:33

A tear, a tear is running down my cheek, I’m so glad to see you

2:37

all—my dear Kovrov Court.

2:40

My dear, beloved defendants, my dear

2:44

defense lawyers, and our dear, so to speak, secretary.

2:46

I’m very glad to—well then, Alexei—

2:50

let’s, let’s continue then.

2:52

the hearing. Go ahead—yes, I just

2:58

need five minutes to speak with the defense,

3:00

since you haven’t spoken for

3:01

about a month and a half, probably.

3:05

No objection? Yes. Alexei, please tell us,

3:09

do I understand correctly that we now have

3:11

12 days in SHIZO (punishment cell) now, and then another—

3:14

and the October letters, right? That’s all correct.

3:17

Correct. Notice how

3:19

half my papers disappeared while I was being transported, but

3:22

everything related to the Kovrov Court

3:24

I kept right next to my heart, and so

3:27

you see, I’m even up to date on our hearings.

3:30

Will you give me five minutes to talk

3:31

really, so I can understand what

3:32

is going on?

3:33

Any objections? No. It is hereby determined here—

3:43

time—
