🇬🇧🇷🇺 Письмо Георга V Николаю II в связи со смертью посла России в Британии графа А.К. Бенкендорфа, 17 января 1917 г.
My dearest Nicky, As the mission for Russia does not start until the 20th I wish to send you this further line to express my greatest grief & regret at the death of my old friend Count Benckendorff. During the 14 years he was here as your Ambassador he worked incessantly to bring our two Countries together & he certainly succeeded in making himself most popular. He will be greatly missed by his numerous friends in Britain. I suppose you have not decided who is to succeed him, if it was possible for you to select U. de Sazonof it would give me the greatest pleasure & I would know that we had such a real friend who would do everything to maintain and increase the most friendly relation which so happily exists between Russia and England. I hope you do not mind my having suggested him. With best love to Alix, ever dearest Nicky.

The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. "The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations.
