🔵Institute of Strategic Thinking (SDE)
The institute hosted an expert discussion on Russian-Turkish cooperation. Participants examined the transformation of global governance institutions and Turkey's prospects following its status as a BRICS partner.
Next, at the Russian Center for Science and Culture (RCSC), a meeting took place where Russian and Turkish experts explored the issues of humanitarian cooperation between the two nations. They discussed the current state and future development of cultural, educational, and scientific ties. Additionally, specialists from the Primakov Center presented their projects aimed at fostering bilateral dialogue.
Finally, our delegation's suitcases brimmed with Turkish delights and pastila, threatening to exceed baggage limits. It seems that upon returning home, there will not only be meeting reports to share but also a tasting of Turkish delicacies!

Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists."
