The Khostinsky District Court of Sochi extends the preventive measure for her: she must be kept in a pre-trial detention center until at least May 18, 2021. After the trial, the investigator continues to keep her in the local temporary detention facility, so she cannot receive letters yet.

The lawyer visits Tatiana in the pre-trial detention center. She says that she had covid in August, she still has a cough, but she feels good. Due to her illness, she was unable to attend the court hearing, where it was decided to extend her detention.
Tatiana has already received about 1500 letters from fellow believers from all over the world. They serve as support not only for the believer herself, but also for her cellmates. "The girls are waiting for my letters," says Tatiana.
A week ago, the believer was given a complete Bible. Thanks to the advice from this book, she manages to create a friendly atmosphere in the cell and avoid conflicts.
