Complaint of people deported to Vologda:
Мы взяли с собой продовольствия, но когда увозили, у нас его отобрали в Вологде местные власти, но мы не считаемся с этим, что сало, муку белую отдали, а нам теперь ничего не дают, кроме одного кипятку.

Though not a literal translation, that's essentially what this means.

but we don't even care that...
They have some food supplies with them, and the food was taken away by the authorities, but now they don't even care that the authorities had taken away some good food, then gave nothing instead except of some boiled water.
I don't quite get the meaning of the phrase. My suggestion is that the authors don't want to emphasize this fact comparing to other, more terrible realities.

but it wasn't the worst thing they did
but that's not the point
but it wasn't the worst of our troubles
IMHO they are saying there was something still worse than having been robbed and left with no food

Russian term (edited):
мы не считаемся с этим
but that’s not what bothers us much
Something like that, I would imagine.
…but that’s not what bothers us much; the main thing is they don’t give us anything.

It did not mean anything at all to us...
Those things that they gave back, in fact, did not improve the situation, they meant nothing...
