They found out what's new with the "liberator" who was imprisoned for 6 years.

On August 12, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of Svaboda journalist

, who was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

The process will be held in closed mode.

After consideration of the appeal, it is likely that Andrei will be transferred to the Novopolotsk colony.

"I have to admit that I gave up and started doing a strange prison activity - doing push-ups and learning English.

The body wanted it - he was surprised.

I don't set goals, especially since soon I will be moving and there will be significant changes in my life and schedule," he writes in a letter to his family.

There are rumors and jokes among the prisoners about the harsh conditions of detention in the Navapolat colony.

"Every now and then I turn on the energy exchange mode with you - I think, remember, dream, and at the same time I always smile, although before that I could walk with a look as if my eyebrows were heavy (they joke: you look like you're ready for Navapolatsk).

This city here seems further than Mars, because no one knows anything about it, it has become the place of the most fantastic stories invented on the fly - it is the outlet of folk creativity.

As the classics say: "And what are the people like over there, behind Goml?

Yo!

Only small ones!"

"Life goes on, and the wind it raises reaches me too"

Andrey is a philologist by education, used to reading a lot.

He writes that he has already read more than 60 books.

"Imagine if I bought all of them :-) Some, however, were so "substantial" that I already forgot what they were about.

And some of them were from my "must read someday" list.

And quite a few of them, I'll tell you, turned out to be overrated, for my taste.

With the pace at which I read books in freedom, I would have understood it in 2036 :) Look how much future time I have freed for us," Andrei writes.

Andrei also receives a lot of periodicals: "Zvyazdu", "Vechernii Minsk", "Moladost", "Polymya", "LiM".

"In the last "LiMe", which is written out, I found out that the translation of "Mr. Tadevush" - we have a thick green book at home - was made by Piotr Bitel in the camp in the 1950s.

Then he was rehabilitated.

These are the traditions of Belarusian literature.

In general, there in "LiMe" you often meet either a familiar Philfako name or a Lyceum name.

Life goes on, and the wind it raises reaches me too."

"Dreams keep a mark - don't let go every night"

In prison, Andrei invents classes and activities for his children Janina and Matvei: he will read about some events in the newspapers, some interesting and useful places to visit are suggested by the inmates.

In almost every letter, he sends postcards with new poems to the children.

Sometimes, he notices mistakes later, and corrects them in the next letter:

"My poem about the host sparrow requires, accordingly, scientific editing: instead of "snow field" - "dew field" :-) There are no fools to bring out chicks in the cold - I could have guessed," Andrei does not lose his sense of humor even behind bars.

He continues to talk about his dreams, in which he dreams that his lyceum friends will come to visit him in freedom.

"Dreams keep a mark - you can't tear yourself away every night.

One night I meticulously put together a playlist of my favorite songs in winamp (no longer supported) (guests from high school students came to visit after leaving).

And the second night - an action movie, a thriller, an action movie: phantasmagoric, something similar - only with a different geographical vector," Andrei writes.

He also invented an original way of communicating with his wife Alesia:

"You can at least switch to "Radio -1" — you can listen to exactly what I'm hearing at the same moment.

I kind of like the playlist.

Today, even to the song "A day without your charms" I imagined a clip with my simple life.

In the 1990s, "in the distant youth, in the happy youth" (this is also from the song on the radio) I also liked to imagine music videos from my headphones, so now I remember those images, I remember the sounds of those songs, how I got !"
