Уважаемый читатель поделился картой 1918 года из The Daily Telegraph (в хорошем разрешении тут), которая вряд ли кого-то может оставить равнодушным. Тут тебе и триединое русское племя (белорусская часть которого плотно заселяет Виленщину), и русины, не тождественные малороссам и живущие строго в границах Австро-Венгрии. Но это больше про то, «кем считать», нежели «кто тут жил». А вот карта западного Причерноморья от Константинополя до Одессы интересна именно с второй точки зрения: эта этническая мозаика совершенно великолепна, и сегодня от нее мало чего осталось.

You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. The original Telegram channel has expanded into a web of accounts for different locations, including specific pages made for individual Russian cities. There's also an English-language website, which states it is owned by the people who run the Telegram channels. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. 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. As such, the SC would like to remind investors to always exercise caution when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those promising unrealistically high returns with little or no risk. Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed.
