MASTER-Tavrida robotic telescope (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in Russia (Lomonosov MSU, SAI Crimea astronomical station) was pointed to the  GRB201015.95 67 sec after notice time and 88 sec after trigger time at 2020-10-15 22:51:41 UT. On our 3-th (30s exposure)  set , obtained 168 sec after tigger time at 2020-10-15 22:53:01 UT, we  found 1 optical transient within Swift error-box (ra=354.342 dec=53.3925 r=0.05) brighter than  17.6.
