In Russia it is customary to celebrate the New Year with your family, friends and loved ones. That's why last week the "OKA" Agency organised a cozy gathering for the foreigners in Nizhny Novgorod and their kids.
We wanted to immerse our guests in a kind festive atmosphere. Everyone could take photos by the decorated fir tree, take part in entertaining activities and socialise with each other, make new acquaintances and share experiences.
🎅And, of course, all the little guests received sweet gifts — this is another Russian tradition.
Friends, we thank you for your responsiveness and activity! The "OKA" Agency team wishes you a Happy New Year and wishes you all your dreams come true!❤️

"This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care.
