🇬🇧🇷🇺 Письмо Георга V Николаю II в связи со смертью посла России в Британии графа А.К. Бенкендорфа, 17 января 1917 г.
My dearest Nicky, As the mission for Russia does not start until the 20th I wish to send you this further line to express my greatest grief & regret at the death of my old friend Count Benckendorff. During the 14 years he was here as your Ambassador he worked incessantly to bring our two Countries together & he certainly succeeded in making himself most popular. He will be greatly missed by his numerous friends in Britain. I suppose you have not decided who is to succeed him, if it was possible for you to select U. de Sazonof it would give me the greatest pleasure & I would know that we had such a real friend who would do everything to maintain and increase the most friendly relation which so happily exists between Russia and England. I hope you do not mind my having suggested him. With best love to Alix, ever dearest Nicky.

But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes.
