Women’s colony – hell bedecked in flowers By Grigory Pasko, journalist Если Вы хотите прочитать оригинал данной статьи на русском языке, нажмите сюда. From the editor: Former YUKOS lawyer Svetlana Bakhmina has been transferred to colony № 21, which is a prison hospital. About this reports the website “Избранное” citing a source in the administration of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments for the Republic of Mordovia. It is known that they had transferred her a week ago already. About the reasons for the hospitalization they did not report. However, the website reminds that Svetlana Bakhmina now is found in the seventh month of pregnancy. That is, it is entirely possible that Svetlana is going to have to give birth behind barbed wire, and then to raise the child in the same place. We will remind that former YUKOS lawyer Svetlana Bakhmina was convicted on 19 April of the year 2006 by the Simonovsky district court of Moscow on charges of stealing the property of OAO “Tomskneft” and evading the payment of taxes and was sentenced to 7 years of deprivation of liberty. By a cassational ruling of the Moscow city court of 24 August of the year 2006 the sentence was changed, while the term of deprivation of liberty was reduced to 6.5 years. Until the present time Bakhmina has spent 3 years 9 months in confinement. Not that long ago, our correspondent Grigory Pasko spent time in the capacity of a journalist in the Mozhaisk women’s colony not far from Moscow. We asked him to tell us about what a women’s colony in today’s Russia is like and what is a “house of the child” in this colony.
