Безумных лет угасшее веселье Мне тяжело, как смутное похмелье. Но, как вино – печаль минувших дней В моей душе чем старе, тем сильней. Мой путь уныл. Сулит мне труд и горе Грядущего волнуемое море.
Но не хочу, о други, умирать; Я жить хочу, чтоб мыслить и страдать; И ведаю, мне будут наслажденья Меж горестей, забот и треволненья: Порой опять гармонией упьюсь, Над вымыслом слезами обольюсь, И может быть – на мой закат печальный Блеснет любовь улыбкою прощальной.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup.
