❕Получили долгожданное письмо от Бориса Юльевича Кагарлицкого!
«Относительно мирных инициатив (с одной стороны) и кампании за мое освобождение (с другой стороны) полностью с вами согласен. Я вижу ситуацию так же. <...> В любом случае, я надеюсь, что после 5 июня вы не будете деморализованы и не сложите руки»
❕Получили долгожданное письмо от Бориса Юльевича Кагарлицкого!
«Относительно мирных инициатив (с одной стороны) и кампании за мое освобождение (с другой стороны) полностью с вами согласен. Я вижу ситуацию так же. <...> В любом случае, я надеюсь, что после 5 июня вы не будете деморализованы и не сложите руки»
Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. 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. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into."
