Hey! I'm Denis, an inderpendent journalist from Russia writing about human rights, politics and personal stories. I have done articles and podcasts about the protests in Russia, the persecution of gays in Dagestan and Chechnya, the murder of a journalist in Georgia and clashes in Kurdistan. In the past I've hitchhiked more than 40,000 km, celebrated the new year in Ulaanbaatar, hanging out in Rome, frostbitten lip layer in the Pamirs. Instagram: https://instagram.com/gdekazakov
