It's difficult for folks in the USA to understand what this is all about because they are very susceptible to misinformation and don't have a good understanding of what this is really about. They can't seem to think past the headline or the application itself.

The translation is not perfect but you should be able to grasp what is being said. Telegram is an instrument of the Russian Spy Network and is used by the Russian military. It's why the Russians are freaking out......

Durov's arrest brought incredible sadness to the Kremlin. The reason is simple

Today, the owner and ideologue of Telegram has access to the largest incriminating material on the Russian government, its related terrorists, arms sellers, etc. These traces cannot be erased in one moment, and it is almost impossible for the messenger to find an alternative. That is why the Kremlin would like to break the plans of the French Thesis.

Durov's detention in France caused ambiguous feelings in the Russian information khural: some tables were almost set, celebrating this event; others play out the drama at the level of artistic amateurism, rushing to the defense of the businessman... the same one who was once kicked out of the "rascha".

Well, of course, first of all, the "Russians" spoke about the suppression of freedom of speech in the West, presenting it in their own way, to the sound of a balalaika: Mr. Solovyov is happy on the air of a talk show that the erefia has long chosen the path of dictatorship in the media, and the EU allegedly only catches up, shifting from foot to foot. If you even look at ru-net with one eye, you will be covered by momentary disturbing vibrations of worries about Europe and will be kept in suspense for several days in a row.

That specific part of propagandists "in civilian clothes" rushed to Durov's defense. The whole catch is in an uncontrolled telegram, which can be accessed by Western special services. Pro-Putin activists are already going to catch one of the titled Europeans for "forming an exchange fund", just as they did under Krasikov, Putin's favorite hit man, arrested by the Germans.

The question here is, will Durov himself want to go back to Mordor? At one time, he [allegedly] refused to work with the FSB and somehow [miraculously] escaped from the Russian Federation. Later, Moscow wrested VKontakte from Durov, turning it into a social network censored by the special services. The businessman allegedly did not hand over the access keys to Telegram, but the special services of many countries have doubts about this. In any case, the "indifferent citizens" of the Russian Federation, who yesterday assessed Durov's activities "absolutely outside the legal field" and called him a traitor, are now breaking into shit to show him their support.

An instruction has already arrived from the Kremlin : high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense, security forces, officials from the presidential administration, large businessmen to delete their correspondence from Telegram.

This explains why Moscow works so hard for its "enemy": what is Durov holding in his hands so that he does not have to see the world, if the owner of Telegram does hand over the confidentiality keys?

To be honest, Pavlo Durov is the biggest trophy of the Western intelligence services since Edward Snowden, the ex-CIA employee who revealed more than one terabyte of secret data about the mass electronic surveillance programs of the US government.

By the way, Durov's agreement with the investigation is unlikely to be officially announced. If the businessman agrees to everything, then for us his release will look like a victory for the lawyers. And if not, then he will sit for a while until he changes his mind: at the same time, there will be time for meditation.

By the way, Musk predictably fit in for Durov ...
