context_page_description: Markovo is a rural locality in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located near the head of small-boat navigation of the Anadyr River. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 809.
  A small locality now—albeit still quite large by Chukotkan standards—Markovo had historically been an important trade hub during the early period of Cossack exploration.
context_section_description: Of all the families in Markovo in 2000, regardless of ethnicity, only 5% had a regular monthly income, with most families living below the poverty line. The economy is driven mainly by subsistence reindeer herding and fishing—a result of the large proportion of indigenous people.
  Markovo's infrastructure includes a boarding secondary school and a cultural center, with a new hospital being under construction in the 2000s.
