It\u2019s been five years since Russian photographer Dmitry Markov last published a book of his work. In the meantime, he\u2019s been sharing his snapshots on Instagram. But with the Kremlin cracking down on civil society and increasingly censoring online content, Markov decided to put his work down on paper once again. In his words, \u201cThe events of this year suggest the disturbing thought that \u2018free access\u2019 is a fragile phenomenon and depends on the political agenda. Of course, the likelihood of Instagram being blocked is low, but such a scenario can\u2019t be ruled out entirely. In this context, I would like to preserve a multi-year photo archive in a reliable, analogue format.\u201d Markov is currently raising money to fund the publication of his forthcoming book. Titled \u201cRossiya v kvadrate\u201d (\u201cRussia Squared\u201d), it\u2019s set to be released by the publishing house Treemedia early this winter. Meduza shares some of the snapshots from Dmitry Markov\u2019s photobook here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
