GRB IKI FuN:

We continued observation of the ZTF21aagwbjr/AT2021buv transient (Kool 
et al., GCN 29405) at the redshift of 0.876 (Xu et al., GCN 29432) which 
is  an afterglow (Kennea et al., GCN 29413; Teja  et al., GCN 29414;
Belkin  et al., GCNs 29417, 29438, 29499;   Rossi et al., GCN 29433; 
Gupta et al., GCN 29490) of  GRB 210204A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 29390; Li 
et al., GCN 29392; Hurley et al., GCN 29408; Waratkar et al., GCN 29410; 
  Frederiks et al., GCN 29415). Images in R-filter were obtained at 
AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan observatory (Mondy) on Feb.12, 16 and  in 
r'-filter at AZT-22 telescope of Assy-Turgen observatory on Feb.15, 16.

Preliminary photometry of the optical transient in combined images is 
following
