I think it's one of the helliest moments in all of the regime, standing sleepy, frozen on a platform, and waiting for all 800 people to be tested.(2)

A typical day in the penal colony South time to talk about what life is like under the regime. Everyone who has such an opportunity, who is warmed - has a wristwatch. Life in the camp goes under the PVR (rules of internal order) and to violate the regime - one of the most terrible violations.

⠀

Chase:

5:00 - rise. Getting up early is a report. Later for more than 3-5 minutes - report. In the section where the beds are, there are 4 CCTV cameras.⠀

5:00 - 5:30 - training for work, washing, if you have time - you can drink coffee.

⠀

5:30 - 6:00 - each unit is built near his dormitory in alphabetical order of 3 people in the line and starting from 1 in turn goes to the place. At first we stand on the platform, look into the dark morning sky under the national anthem of Russia, then do the charging (Sluggishly do the charging - report. Between the squads there are garbage and make sure that all perform exercises, make comments) Around the place is also A CCTV camera, as well as throughout the camp. After charging each unit check, take turns to call the last name, and you answer the name, middle name, year of birth, article, beginning and end of term.

I think it's one of the helliest moments in all of the regime, standing sleepy, frozen on a platform, and waiting for all 800 people to be tested.

⠀

6:00 a.m. - 6:30 a.m. after the inspection, all the squads in formation go to the dining room. There is a movement of construction in the zone. This means that all mass and regime events and checks can not go alone, only in formation, with their detachment. If you want to go to the library in your spare time, you need to find two more people to form one column of the building. It is forbidden to move around the camp alone.

⠀

6:30 the beginning of the working day. All the detachment we went through the dining room to the industrial zone, went to the shop. You can smoke before the start of the working day. The next smoke break will only be at 9. Before the beginning of the working day, we changed into working uniforms, put on scarves.

colony 2 ⠀ At 11:00 - 11:30 it is time to gather for lunch, again to build.

At lunchtime, you need to hide your scissors somewhere near the workplace. They didn't change for lunch, they just put their robes and headscarves on top of them.

⠀

one day someone hid my handkerchief, and the whole squad can't go to lunch. We were all looking for him together. Because to go out without a headscarf - a report (even with sloppily tucked a headscarf or tied not according to instructions), and my detachment without me could not go to the dining room, too, it is also a report to them all, such as construction movement. So I learned to keep a close eye on my things.

⠀

After lunch we worked until 2 p.m. and built through the checkpoint went out into the housing zone, the working day is over. We worked 6 days a week, on Sundays - the ascent not in 5, but in 6. Like you can get

some

sleep and after work and before dinner free time. You can go to the library, go for a walk along the "Freedom Avenue, as we called it, a long street between the barracks.

⠀

free time continues until dinner - 18:00.

After dinner, there is a little time to prepare for bed, brush your teeth, get pyjamas.⠀

20:00 - evening check on the place. It's the same as in the morning. On some days at the evening check announced lists of violators: who received what reports, who explainers, who sews a small percentage of the norm, who got to the detention center, who was reprimanded. 

A whispering voice with interference said this from a speaker interrupted by the howling of the winter wind, which added to the harshness of the whole picture. On the building of my barracks, in front of which we were built on a platform, the figures of 1984 were laid out. Every night I looked at them and thought that's where I felt.⠀

After an evening check, I used to walk with someone, smoke a cigarette, and go to the squad.
