“I have sent a few parcels to him,” she said. “There were a book parcel as well, but he received only two books. One is a big one, in English, it had been passed by his friend, and a Christian dictionary. However, I do not know whether he would be able to read them over the 4 months left before his release. He also asked a parcel with medicines to be sent to him, as he has some stomach problems, besides, he is doing sports actively, and he often has strains. He asks all kinds of ointment in order to restore back to health quicker. We also sent cigarettes to him, though he does not smoke. But cigarettes are like money in prison. He called recently. We told about our news a little, and how Alinevich was thrown into an isolation punishment cell, and how the flat of Frantskevich was sieged by policemen.”
