Dmitry Markov is a Russian photographer who has been capturing images of everyday life in his home country since 2005. 

He has also worked as a volunteer in an orphanage and as an assistant tutor at a charitable organization that works with people with disabilities.

Today, Markov is based in Pskov, a western Russian city near the Estonian border.

About four years ago, he started uploading photos of ordinary life in Pskov and its environs to his Instagram account.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.
