...Меня описывали в романах не видевшие войны, меня залили в гранит и мрамор, и в звон гитарной струны. Всё это правильно и почётно — на том до сих пор стоим — но я всего-то каждый четвёртый, погибший за Третий Рим. А впрочем — что тут, страна большая, нас хватит на бой любой, и если я всех мертвецов смешаю, то будет каждый восьмой. И те, кто жив, продолжают биться, и насмерть, как я, стоят. Я вижу их и читаю в лицах: Москва и Киев — мои столицы, и Минск, и Рига — мои столицы, и Вильнюс — тоже моя.

At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. 'Wild West' "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them.
