  MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB120521C  60 sec  after notice 
time and 715 sec after GRB time at 2012-05-21 23:34:03 UT in two 
polarizations. We haven`t found optical 
transient  within Swift BAT error-box (Baumgartner et al., GCN 13318Not found
 
 
) .
  The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 20.0 mag for mean time after 
trigger 1492s (total exposition 1370s).
