Deputy Svintsov Urges Not to Buy Telegram Premium, Yet Uses Premium Himself Andrey Svintsov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, who previously recommended that Russians temporarily refrain from purchasing Telegram Premium and Stars currency, is himself using a paid account. His assistant also has a premium subscription. “I recommend refraining from purchasing Telegram Premium subscriptions and the in-app currency Telegram Stars,” the deputy stated. Recall that the State Duma has considered recognizing Telegram as a “terrorist resource” amid the criminal case against Pavel Durov in France. The situation exposes double standards: calls to abandon foreign services coexist with their active use, which is especially noticeable under international pressure on Russian digital platforms. #Russia #Telegram #Durov #StateDuma The main news of Russia and the world is here.
