E. Mazaeva (IKI), S. Schmalz (AIP), I. Reva (Fesenkov Astrophysical 
Institute), R. Inasaridze (AAO),  N. Tungalag (Research Center of 
Astronomy and Geophysics MAS), I. Molotov (KIAM), A. Volnova (IKI),  A. 
Pozanenko  (IKI) report on behalf of larger GRB follow-up
collaboration:

We are observing (Mazaeva et al, GCN 17940) the  V404 Cyg activity 
detected by BAT/Swift (Barthelmy et al., GCN 17929), GBM/Fermi (Younes, 
GCN 17932; Jenke GCN 17935),   Konus-Wind (Golenetskiiet al., GCN 
17938), MAXI (Negoro et al., ATel #7646), and INTEGRAL (Roque et al., 
ATel #7693) with Zeiss-1000 (East) 1-m telescope of Tien Shan 
Astronomical Observatory, ORI-40 0.4m telescope of ISON-Khureltogot and 
AS-32 0.7m telescope of Abastumani observatory. The V404 Cyg optical 
activity reported by many observatories is clearly visible in our 
observations on time scale of at least 60 s (time exposures of our 
observations in R and Clear filters are 60 and 30 s).

Preliminary light curves of the V404 Cyg activity in R-band  are following:
