We reported about V404 Cyg optical detection by MASTER-Amur (Yurkov et 
al., GCN 18717) after Swift BAT alert ( Barthelmy et al.,  18716).

MASTER-Tunka starts alert observations of V404 at 2015-12-23 10:16:20 UT 
(just after the sunset, 17447 sec after notice time and 17787 sec after 
trigger time).
  There is fast about half-magnitude variability at the interval about 
10min time scale.

Preliminary LC is available at
