For the past week, LibGen has reportedly been unavailable for many users, according to TorrentFreak and r/LibGen. Recently, there was a message on the forum mentioning that key members of LibGen were unable to participate in LibGen activities for an indefinite period of time. Without any signs from the maintainers, the future of LibGen remains unclear
Grown in lands where the battle between the desire for unconstrained access to readings and censorship pressure has lasted for centuries, LibGen was a beacon of free access in the times of digital leviathan dictating what you should read and think.
I have my fingers crossed for LibGen and for their librarians whose efforts have built a generation that does not respect and fear unnatural borders in spreading knowledge.

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.” Some privacy experts say Telegram is not secure enough In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels. It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users.
