Сегодня мы открыли суперфинал V Чемпионата сочинений «Своими словами». В новом месте, но в основном все с той же командой единомышленников, с которой запускали его 5 лет назад, когда из-за ковида он был виртуальным, а сейчас - полновесный оффлайн на 330 финалистов. Впереди - командный тур, а потом индивидуальный, но главное сделано: мы продержались 5 лет - каждый из которых, кажется, стоит десятилетия.

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network.

But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford. Update March 8, 2022: EFF has clarified that Channels and Groups are not fully encrypted, end-to-end, updated our post to link to Telegram’s FAQ for Cloud and Secret chats, updated to clarify that auto-delete is available for group and channel admins, and added some additional links. Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
