After the murder of his brothers Vladimir got the throne and with it seemingly the desired power. Yet he wanted to be greater than Sviatoslav, but lacked the strength to conquer like his father did. So Vladimir chose to suck up to Byzantium and convert. The deal must have seemed like an absolute win to both sides.

Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee.
