Alexey Polyarinov's first collection of essays that I have only recently read, reminded me of my undying love to Julian Barnes and I thought it might be high time I read another of his novels. It was the epigraph mentioned by Polyarinov that made me get hold of this particular book in the first place, as it said "Lies like an eyewitness" and promised a story with multiple narrators, none of them entirely reliable, and none completely unreliable. Three characters are talking to someone hiding behind the scenes (and their identity is another smart move) about a story of love and betrayal, and, just as the epigraph promises, they don't always see eye to eye, and sometimes seem to be looking in an entirely different direction. Throughout the first half of the book, I entertained myself by spotting slight discrepancies in their accounts of the same events, but as the story goes on, Barnes seems to be losing interest in postmodern quirks and gets carried away with what the characters have to say. Somehow, stripped off its postmodern paraphernalia, the novel boils down to another story of a love triangle, neither the worst I have read, nor the best. There is a sequel, Love, etc, but I'm not sure I want to know what happens to the characters next.

But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. Ukrainian forces have since put up a strong resistance to the Russian troops amid the war that has left hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including children, dead, according to the United Nations. Ukrainian and international officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian populations with shelling and bombardments. That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. Some privacy experts say Telegram is not secure enough At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion.
