Photographer Dmytro Markov died at the age of 41, reports the Pskov local publication with reference to the posts of his friends on Telegramwrite Jellyfish
Nothing is known yet about the cause of his death.
It is reported that in recent days, Markov “has come under pressure from readers on social networks because of his position regarding his friends who were called up to fight in Ukraine.”
The photographer spoke in his Telegram channel about friends who went to fight in Ukraine.
Dmytro Markov was a photographer, photojournalist and activist and was born in 1982 in Pushkino, near Moscow.
Dmytro Markov was detained in February 2021 during unauthorized protests after a Moscow court sentenced leader Oleksii Navalny to prison.
Over 1,000 arrests during pro-naval rallies, especially in Moscow (NGO).
During his detention, he took a photo that will become a symbol of Russian repression and persecution – a masked policeman standing under a portrait of Vladimir Putin.
Dmytro Markov, one of Russia’s best photographers, has reportedly died.
Favorite is the wrong word, but this photo of him from the moment of his arrest during the Navalny protest in 2021 represents better than any other what has happened to Russia in recent yearshttps://t.co/QXtMvIqCCO pic.twitter.com/uB5ZswTkAj
