Противостояние добра и зла, борьба дьявольских и божественных сил за человеческую душу лежит в основе огромного числа произведений литературы, музыки, кино. История Фауста, продавшего душу дьяволу, обменявшего спасение на мирские блага и человеческие знания, — едва ли не главный сюжет немецкой литературы. Этот герой появляется на страницах множества народных книг XVI-XVIII веков, в знаменитой трагедии фон Гёте, в произведениях Ленау, Хайне, в фильме Мурнау, ему посвящены музыкальные композиции Вагнера, Шуманна, Малера. Барбара Киндерманн пересказала эту старинную историю для детей, а Клаус Энзикат создал к ней современные иллюстрации.

Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. The original Telegram channel has expanded into a web of accounts for different locations, including specific pages made for individual Russian cities. There's also an English-language website, which states it is owned by the people who run the Telegram channels. "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world." "He has kind of an old-school cyber-libertarian world view where technology is there to set you free," Maréchal said. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
