We observed Swift GRB 220101A (Tohuvavohu, et al., GCN 31347) also
detected by Fermi/LAT (Arimoto et al. 2022, GCN 31350), AGILE (Ursi et
al. 2022, GCN 31354), Fermi/GBM (Lesage et al. 2022, GCN 31360), and
Konus-Wind (Tsvetkova et al., GCN 31433) with Zeiss-1000 telescope of
THSAO observatory (Kazakhstan) in R-filter starting on 2022-01-05 (UT)
14:39:20. We were also observing the afterglow position with with AS-32
telescope of Abastumani observatory (AbAO) and K-800 telescope of Mnt.
Terskol observatory on 2022-01-06.

upper limits obtained in Terskol K-800 and AbAO AS-32 observations.
Preliminary photometry of the afterglow and upper limits is following

Based on multiple observations cited above and our own observations the
light curve in R-filter can be approximated by a single power law
(after one day after the trigger) with the power law index of -1.9. The
