Telegram has become a key tool for the Russian military. Why does Moscow continue to rely on a Dubai-based civilian messaging app? — Meduza

Tech billionaire Pavel Durov was recently arrested in France, prompting discussions in Russia about the Telegram messenger app's role in the Ukraine conflict. The Russian military utilizes Telegram as a communication tool, particularly for logistical discussions and establishing reconnaissance-strike networks. Russian Armed Forces maintain Telegram chats for various purposes, while Ukrainian forces often use other platforms like WhatsApp and Viber. Access to messenger apps diminishes among assault units due to limited Internet access; however, Telegram plays a crucial role in external communications linking frontline troops with pro-Kremlin correspondents. Despite its use, experts argue that Telegram is not suitable for military applications. The Russian military has sought to create a unified digital management system since the Soviet era, but delays have hindered the deployment of a military-specific messenger system.

Telegram: How the app defies calls for hate censorship

Telegram Messenger is a communication platform used by over 800 million active monthly users as of early 2024. It offers free instant messaging, file sharing, and features like end-to-end encryption for calls, unlimited cloud storage, and large group capacities. In 2022, Telegram introduced a paid subscription model for enhanced features, while assuring users that private messaging will remain free of ads. Founded in 2013 by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the company has faced scrutiny due to its limited content moderation and the recent arrest of CEO Pavel Durov on August 24, 2023, possibly related to compliance with EU regulations. Telegram is popular in countries like India, Russia, and Indonesia but faces restrictions in others. The company's encryption methods are proprietary and not independently verified, raising concerns about user privacy. Telegram's development team is currently based in Dubai, and the company is open to relocating if necessary.
