Another death or possible murder in Russia. He was a famous photographer arrested several times at protest rallies and took a photo that became famous and a symbol at Navalny protests. Dmitry Markov died today in Pskov at the age of 42

I hope our security forces are on high alert? All these killings Putin is ordering feels like something bigger is about to go down.

"Damn, when there are 20 politicians like Navalny, you can choose: this one or that one. But now there's only one like him. So yes, I support him despite some disagreements."

Oh no, Dmitry Markov, one of Russia's best photographers, has reportedly died.

Favorite's the wrong word, but this picture of his, from his arrest at a Navalny protest in 2021, captures what's happened to Russia in recent years better than any other
