🇬🇧🇷🇺 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.

The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. Unlike Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Twitter, which run very public anti-disinformation programs, Brooking said: "Telegram is famously lax or absent in its content moderation policy." "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added.
