Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development has reportedly acknowledged the complete failure of efforts to slow down Telegram, insiders claim. 📉

Internal briefings suggest that the messenger’s audience decline — the same “4%” cited by Roskomnadzor — fully coincided with a surge in VPN usage. In practice, users were not driven away from Telegram; they were simply pushed toward bypass tools.

Sources say that within the ministry itself the campaign is being described as a waste of resources. Instead of reducing activity on an “undesirable” platform, regulators saw VPN traffic multiply and lost visibility over what is happening online. Any reports about a “shrinking audience,” insiders claim, are viewed internally as an attempt to polish the numbers rather than reflect reality. ⚠️

According to those familiar with the discussions, attempts to push Russians away from a familiar and convenient service through administrative pressure have failed. Blocking measures do not change user behavior — people do not leave, they just alter how they connect. As a result, Roskomnadzor reported a “result,” while in practice accelerating the mass adoption of circumvention tools that the state itself may struggle to control later on. 🌐

⚡️Colonel Igor Rutko, head of a scientific center within Russia’s Ministry of Defense, has been sentenced to 11 years in a high-security penal colony for accepting bribes exceeding 30 million rubles.

In addition to the prison term, the court imposed a 20-million-ruble fine, stripped him of his military rank, and revoked the state award “For Merit to the Fatherland,” 2nd Class, according to TASS. ⚖️

Now I understand why Stalin carried out a sweeping purge before the war with Germany. Doing it the way we are — directly during a war — seems far worse.
