We observed the field of GRB 210619B (D'Avanzo et al. GCN 30261) with
AZT-22 telescope of Maidanak Observatory and AZT-20 telescope of
Assy-Turgen observatory. The optical afterglow (D'Avanzo et al. GCN

Preliminary photometry of the afterglow of some of observations is
following.

Using our data and those published in the GCN circulars cited above we
plot a light curve which an be found at
http://grb.rssi.ru/GRB210619B/GRB210619B_LC_all.png
Using only Maidanak data after 0.7 days, it was found that the light
curve can be fitted by a single power law with the index alpha = -1.48
+/-0.04. Using early data published in GCNs we can describe the LC by a
broken power law with parameters of alpha = -0.72+/-0.01, beta = -1.52
+/-0.04, and break time of 0.57+/-0.12.
The fitted LC can be found at
http://grb.rssi.ru/GRB210619B/GRB210619B_AZT22_LC.png
It confirms the steeping decay suggested by Jelinek et al., GCN 30281,
Kumar et al., GCN 30286. The power-law index before the break is
approximately the same as that obtained by Kann et al., GCN 30338 and
Oganesyan et al., arXiv:2109.00010, while the power law index after the
break is steeper and coincides with XRT afterglow power law index.
We also not detected any influence of host galaxy on afterglow light
curve, and after late time observations we can estimate brightness of
the host galaxy R > 23.9.
