"Время подползло к 80-му году. После лечения на немецких водах приехал я в первый раз на наше Балтийское взморье в Дуббельн*, околоРиги. Тогда это купальное местечко только что завело у себя благоустроенный акционерный кургауз, и купальщики Петербурга, Москвы и провинций потянулись туда"
(Боборыкин П. Д., "Творец «Обломова»", 1892)
💔 Старое название Дубулты, части города Юрмалы в 22 км от Риги. В Дубулты реку Лиелупе отделяет от моря лишь узкая полоса земли шириной 320 метров.

Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. 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. "He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said.
