The mother of antifascist Anton Kalakin, sentenced to six years for two comments, visited him in Irkutsk Prison-1

 

According to the support group, Irina Viktorovna's date with Anton took place on December 3. According to her, his condition is "more or less ok" and much better than during the last meeting. In November, when she first visited Anton after his sentence, he did not smiled once.

"It's scary to remember, but then my son seemed to not recognize me, speaking strange, punctual phrases, as in the interrogation. After that date, it felt so hard and scared that I cried the whole day. Now we communicated more warmly and soulfully," said Irina Viktorovna. She thanks everyone for their support, she sent the money she collected on the card to her son's personal account so that he can buy groceries in the store, because the holidays are coming.

"Once again, I thank all the caring people who are helping to endure and not break down in this insanely difficult ordeal that has fallen upon us," Anton's mother added. After the date, mother stopped receiving letters from Anton for a while. The detention explained it with a broken printer. A little later, the answers still came: Anton told that there were problems with the Internet in the isolation unit due to repairs, but now everything works.

In late October, a military court in Chita sentenced Kalakin to six years in a colony in a case of "justification for terrorism" over two Telegram comments - a post about governor Igor Kobzev and a news of a prisoner-of-war exchange. Kalakin pleaded guilty because he was expecting a fine, but Judge Yugolayinin found that there were aggravating circumstances in the case — “motive for political hatred” and “committing a crime during the period of mobilization” — and gave Anton a real term.

On November 6, Kalakin's lawyer Valery Teterin filed an appeal against the sentence. He considers the court's decision to be illegal. For example, in the investigation materials, Anton's surname was listed as "Morozova". A woman with such a surname was convicted by the same court in Chita in April - also for a comment online.

The support group continues to support Anton and his mother. They need at least 20 thousand rubles (circa 400 euros). This is a very modest amount, which Irina Viktorovna talks about, but the support group would like to collect more, because this money will only last for a month. And it will be necessary to pay for the services of a lawyer, products and medicines for a longer time.
