  MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Tunka(Siberia) was pointed to the  GRB110521A (Oates et al.,
GCN Circ 12031) 32 sec s after notice time and 92 sec after GRB
time at 2011-05-21 15:53:03.316 UT. On 
our first (20s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient  within 
SWIFT error-box .
  The 3-sigma upper limit has been about 16.0  mag

The Swift erros box was inside FOV of the one of the 2 Very Wide Field 
Cameras (2x480 square degrees, 2x12 Mpixs).
We have images before, during and after GRB .
The 3-sigma upper limit has been about 12.0  mag each image (5 s 
exposition).
The data reduction is continued.
