A letter from the political prisoner Antonina Pavorskaya, who spent 100 days in an 18+ punishment cell. This material (information) is produced, distributed and (or) sent by a foreign agent of the Internet publication "NOVAYA GAZETA" or relates to the activities of a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA GAZETA". Antonina Pavorskaya is a reporter for Sotavision*, the author of reports from courtrooms. For her journalistic work, she herself ended up behind bars: Pavorskaya was convicted in the "extreme" FBK case**. She is currently serving five years in prison at IK-3 in the Kostroma region. The prison routine here is complemented by a special "education": the journalist was first put in a punishment cell on June 13, after that the punishments began to repeat themselves, and later it became known that Pavorskaya was transferred to stricter detention conditions. One hundred days of isolation - four walls, an icon attached to the wall and endless "educational activities". Pavorskaya writes about all this in a letter to Novaya * with humor and imagination, which cannot be locked in a punishment cell. Tonya also sent us a poem dedicated to Evgenia Berkovich, a friend from whom she is separated by walls and heavy blinds, but not in despair. She began her letter with words of support for Nova Gazeta, after learning of our new "status". Then she shared texts about the absurdity of prison, human solidarity and imagination as a way to prevent the system from completely subjugating a person. "When I'm alone, the wall lifts me up. It is very exciting and fun for us. My space in the punishment cell is full of the atmosphere of different places and memories (it's not for nothing that I studied at GITIS and learned the technique of Mikhail Chekhov, where we worked with the body, fantasy and space). On the right wall of the punishment cell I have a huge floor-to-ceiling French window with a view of the rooftops of St. Petersburg, the Peter and Paul Fortress and the Royal Neva. And if you sit on a bench in front of the blue button symbols, you see the endless ocean.
