«Среди некоторых русских чиновников бытовало мнение, что дурным обращением со своими людьми они укрепляют представление о российской силе в глазах заграницы. В европейских державах, предоставлявших России займы, эта демонстрация силы, говорят, производила впечатление: чем более жестокие дела творились в России, тем выше вырастал ее престиж в Европе. Есть, впрочем, весьма подходящая к случаю русская поговорка: «Бей своих, чтоб чужие боялись» (Пайпс. «Русская революция. Агония старого режима. 1905-1917» (1990 г.)).

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. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority.
