"You celebrate Christmas today, and at the same time in thousands of towns and villages people are celebrating the same holiday. This Christmas holiday, which should be a holiday of joy, but today, as never before, becomes a moment of remembrance of that great man who, more than a thousand years ago, with his holy and pure idea, entered his time, filled with filth and moral decay. We must remember that he who then, whip in hand, drove the merchants and moneylenders out of the temple, fell victim to the same dark power of gold, that viper-serpent offspring, which today again enslaves the German people and the peoples of the whole earth, poisoning them with moral decay and bringing, above all, our people closer to complete collapse. His work and his aspiration - peace for people on earth - have remained unfinished to this day, and from this remembrance we must recognize the necessity of the struggle to achieve true peace, for the sake of which every great man died as a martyr of his idea on the cross."

Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. 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.” Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government.
