Сесил Битон был одним из главных «певцов» британской короны и англо-американской светской тусовки на протяжении почти полувека. Собрание его снимков, а также упражнений в живописи, вчера было продано на Bonhams в Лондоне — его выставили потомки Джеффри Сойера, многолетнего ассистента фотографа. Цены не поражали воображение: фото ушли по цене около £1 тыс, а масляный портрет Пикассо — за £8 тыс.

Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. 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.
