“Then no one compared the visit of Arkady Gostev with the visit of Alexei Navalny. There were rumors that our Troika would be closed, everyone was sure that the director had come to personally make sure that the zone was not needed here. It’s difficult to get here, such a facility is expensive to maintain, who is it for? But contrary to all expectations, Arkady Gostev clearly had a different attitude: he just walked around and wailed, saying, what a good colony. Everyone was, of course, surprised, given the fact that we were always given the 18th zone as an example. I gathered the authorities – chiefs and deputies for some meeting, and after that I told every employee I met to expect big milestones, IK-3 will continue to function and grow, they say, the number of jobs will be increased by the FSIN.”
After the visit of a high-ranking jailer, life in IK-3 returned to normal. However, some changes have occurred. For example, speaking of prison sentences, not only have they not increased, but in general almost all arrivals of new prisoners have stopped. Several new certified employees, some from the Department, got jobs at the colony by transfer (not from the street). One of them is the head of the medical unit, Alexei Lisyuk, where they “fought” for the life of Alexei Navalny for almost an hour until an ambulance was called.
