Dmitri Volkov

Financial Research Analyst & Eastern European Wealth Correspondent

I'm a data-focused journalist based in Prague with a background in financial research and regional economics. For the past decade, I've tracked wealth trends across Eastern Europe—oligarch portfolios, entertainment industry earnings, and sports sector dynamics. My interest started with curiosity about how post-Soviet wealth consolidated and evolved; it's grown into a methodical practice of cross-referencing public records, tax filings, asset declarations, and credible reporting to build a transparent picture of regional financial influence. I keep a collection of old Eastern Bloc economics textbooks and spend weekends exploring how historical context shapes modern wealth. I have two rescue cats adopted from a Prague shelter and a habit of annotating financial documents on long train journeys.
