Daniil Bolshakov, reporter
I'm 25 years old. I have been working for more than five years in various Russian and international media outlets, from online sources to newspapers and TV broadcasts, covering the opposition movement and anti-war protests in Russia. Having completed several international trainings, I specialize in photojournalism, so my main goal is to work as a photographer and capture events from warzones.
Work experience
In Russia, I have collaborated and worked on staff at such publications as: Znak.com, Baza, Fontanka.ru, Vedomosti, Kommersant, Associated press, Meduza and others. Worked as a correspondent, news editor, social media manager, interviewed and wrote analytical articles on economics and politics

I took the Bastion war correspondent course, as well as an extreme journalism course from the Red Cross. I worked at rallies in Russia and the CIS, during the landslide in Georgia in 2023 and in Karabakh.
Emigration
After the war started in Ukraine, I left Russia, as I cannot accept the murder of a brotherly nation. Since then I have visited 12 countries in 2 years. Now I am in Germany, and I am ready for any job or business trips
