Photo by davidemonteleonestudio | Volgograd, Russia, 2018. Vladimir Domanki is a permanent resident of Sarpinsky Island, on the Volga River, which is known as Europe's largest river island. This piece of land, whose nature reserve measures more than 11 square hectares (27 acres), has a long history, full of mysteries and legends. One holds that treasure is buried somewhere on the island, put there by Stepan Razin, who led a 17th-century rebellion against the nobility. The story has naturally drawn adventurers and archaeologists, who go digging in search of it from time to time. Follow davidemonteleonestudio for more about this and other stories.
