How Russian fish reached the Thames: the biggest players in the export market Chronicles.Media analyzed the fishing market in Russia’s Northwest Federal District and discovered that major fishing companies are exporting their goods primarily to European countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland. While these exports significantly boost the fishing industry, they also contribute to rising prices for consumers in Russia. Revenue of fishing companies in the Northwestern Federal District of Russia (NWFD) exceeded 180 billion rubles in 2023 (nearly $2 billion), as calculated by “Chronicles” on the basis of the Kontur.Focus counterparty check database. Legal entities from Vitaly Orlov‘s Norebo Holding earned the most. Companies from the ten largest groups of “fish hosts” of the NWFD mainly sell goods to the Netherlands. They shipped 35.7 thousand tons of fish and seafood there. In many cases, the kingdom serves simply as a transshipment point.

Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. 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.” 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 War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. "Like the bombing of the maternity ward in Mariupol," he said, "Even before it hits the news, you see the videos on the Telegram channels."
