(AbAO), N. Pankov (HSE) report  on behalf of GRB IKI FuN:

We observed the ZTF21aagwbjr/AT2021buv transient (Kool  et al., GCN 
29405) at  the redshift of 1.466 (Izzo et al., GCN 29411) which is most 
probably is an afterglow (Kennea et al., GCN 29413; Teja  et al., GCN 
29414) 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 taken in AZT-33IK telescope of Sayan 
observatory (Mondy) and AS-32 telescope of Abastumani observatory (AbAO).

Preliminary photometry of the optical transient in a combined image is 
following
