Valentine Olinevich met with his son in the colony. "On Saturday held a short meeting - said the mother of a political prisoner. - Everything is as usual. Left Minsk in the morning, not knowing my husband will see it or not. This time the meeting was held, but the right to transfer, which relies once every four months, he was deprived."
"The presence of glass and talk through the handset are not contributing to a confidential talk. But to see and hear a loved one, not even being able to hug him - it's always a great joy. Many questions about what is happening in the world. In all felt a real hunger for information. Newspaper "Novy Chas" and "Free News" do not give him, although editors are constantly banished and sent him each room. Most of the letters for unknown reasons did not reach Igor. This is especially true of his Russian friends. Those letters, in which I write about Russian and Ukrainian events also do not reach. And it is absolutely incomprehensible to me - do not miss comments to the Criminal Code. Although Novopolotsk colony entire legislative literature passed smoothly," - said Valentine Olinevich.
According to the mother of the political prisoner, now Igor Olinevich transferred to the new, 7th detachment: "Time after work, there is very little, but more trying to read, to study economics, - she says. - A great impression on him made the fate of Russian economist Nikolai Kondratieff, the creator of the theory of "long waves", who died in 1937. Trying to extrapolate this theory to our reality. Says that according to his calculations, we only at the beginning of the economic crisis, and not at its bottom. Unfortunately, the economics textbooks, which was in English, it is also not given. My questions about health, said that everything is in order, though dark circles under the eyes tell a different story. Worry about other political prisoners and simply. Upset the news that Nicholas Dedkov appointed court. Categorically do not share the views of the "Platform" that the prison system in Belarus positive trends. Sees no grounds for such allegations. In these circumstances, it shares the view of Ales Bialiatski.
When we arrived on the hill in front of the colony, was someone's mother, who in the morning waiting for his son. He must have been set free on that day. I hope they finally met."
