The Pomors are an ethnographic group of people who have inhabited the White Sea coast of Russia for centuries. They are known for their seafaring traditions, their distinctive culture, and their resilience in a harsh environment.
The Pomors' history is closely tied to the sea. They were skilled sailors and fishermen, and they developed a unique maritime culture that included shipbuilding, navigation, and fishing techniques adapted to the challenging conditions of the White Sea. They also engaged in trade, exchanging goods with other regions of Russia and even with Scandinavia.
The Pomors' way of life was shaped by the harsh climate and the isolation of their region. They developed a strong sense of community and a deep connection to the sea. They also developed a distinctive culture, including their own dialect of Russian, their traditional crafts, and their unique folklore and music.
The Pomors have faced numerous challenges throughout their history, including economic hardship, political instability, and environmental changes. However, they have maintained their cultural identity and have continued to thrive. They are an important part of Russia's cultural heritage, and they continue to play a significant role in the economic and social life of the region.

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. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. Individual messages can be fully encrypted. But the user has to turn on that function. It's not automatic, as it is on Signal and WhatsApp. The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare. The next bit isnβt clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Foolsβ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but itβs 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.
