The Cheka-OGPU managed to communicate with another former prisoner who knows firsthand how Alexei Navalny was tortured in captivity. The interlocutor was sitting with a politician in the same colony in the Vladimir region. In fact, this was only the beginning of the oppositionist’s exile in the camp, but even then the approach to prisoner number 1 was appropriate.

“No one hid that the goal was to rot Alexei Navalny and the first step was to send him to the BUR (as they call PKT, a cell-type room). The already high-security zone was trained in advance so that complete alienation was created for Alexei Navalny. For any conversation, or even a glance in his direction, they promised to punish to the fullest extent: at least a beating and a stage “for a traffic light” (sent to a colony in a distant region, for example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) or even to the roosters.”

According to eyewitnesses, a lot of prisoners were specially set up and pitted against the image of Alexei Navalny in order to nip in the bud any manifestations of sympathy and solidarity inherent in people in dungeons. One of the most effective tools, in addition to other regime reinforcements, was that with the arrival of the politician, morning exercises were introduced for the entire camp on weekends (the only days of relaxation for workers).

“Well, about how Alexey lived, he himself very clearly reported through his lawyers, and these sketches from the colony were published on his social networks. By the way, this was the main reason for sending them to the Arctic to freeze any activity. And initially, the scenario of keeping Alexey in the Vladimir region was considered, a special cell under the roof was already prepared for him – the goats (administration accomplices) were given drills so that they could drill meter-high walls for cameras and microphones. 11 asshole brigadiers were assigned to him at once in the barracks; all of them had the end of their sentences later than Navalny. So that I don’t pass anything on to the public through them, or what?”

These convicts watched Alexei Navalny day and night and tried to keep him in suspense every hour. For example, any trip to the politician’s toilet was accompanied by an escort of these so-called goats. The unfastened button on the robe, which was prudently given two sizes too small, is number 1 for the convict – this is their bread. A “violation” was recorded and Alexei Navalny was “charged” to a commission, and from there to a punishment cell.

“From the section This has never happened before – Alexey was given a workplace right in the barracks (detachment premises). They brought in a table and a sewing machine, and he worked there under the supervision of eleven unemployed workers. By the way, what was written about the trade union and that supposedly the activists achieved the replacement of chairs for workers with more comfortable chairs is not true. Another striking detail that emphasizes the level of fear of Alexei is the way his trips to the dining room were organized. When it was their turn, a bell rang throughout all the detachments and all the prisoners in them were gathered in psychological relief rooms to watch TV programs. No one was allowed not only to leave the barracks, but even to look out the window. This doesn’t happen even when a general comes to the colony.”
