Boronina (SPbSU),\nreport on behalf of the larger collaboration:\n\nAt the night of August 1/2 we observed the GRB 140801A field (Fermi trigger\n428612396) with BTA/Scorpio-I. Observations started at 21:10 UT (2.17 hours\nafter the GRB). The optical transient (Gorbovskoy et al., GCNC 16653; Xu et\nal., GCNC 16656, Masi, GCNC 16659) is clearly detected in our V and Rc images\nwith the brightness R = 20.2 (2.85 hours after the trigger). Photometry\nis based on the USNO-B1 star with the coordinates\nR. A. = 02:56:16.58, Dec. =  +30:57:02.1 and R2 = 16.06.\nThe OT magnitude was not corrected for the Galactic extinction\nE(B-V) = 0.09 in the direction of the object.\n\nWe also obtained an OT spectrum and measured the redshift on basis of several\nlines. Our value z =1.319 +/- 0.003 is in a good agreement with that by\nde Ugarte Postigo et al. (GCNC 16657).\n\nWe thank T. Fatkhullin for his great assistance in observations.",
