A.Volnova (SAI MSU), E. Klunko (ISTP), A. Pozanenko (IKI) report on 
behalf of larger GRB follow-up collaboration:

We report revised results of our observations in Mondy observatory (GCNs 
14019, 14024) of the afterglow of GRB 121128A (Oates et al., GCN 14007; 
Japelj et al., GCN 14008). We re-processed data obtained on Nov. 28,29 
and Dec. 02 based on full data set obtained.

The combined light curve of our observations (this circular, GCN 14201 
and GCN 14255) can be found at

Non-filtered photometry of Abastumani observatory (GCN 14201) is 
corrected to the R as d(C-R)=-0.034. One can see non-monotonous behavior 
of the lc between 0.4 -- 0.4 days after trigger, and probable jet brake 
between 0.6 and 1.3 days.
