The statement issued by Russia’s national telecommunications regulator on its website announced that it was forbidden to visit Telegram in Russia.

After Telegram announced that it will migrate some of its service infrastructure to Amazon and Google servers, the Russian government has adopted stricter bans. According to Russian local media reports, Russian telecommunications regulators have blocked more than 2 million IP addresses under Google and Amazon's cloud services. This, in fact, stemmed from the blockade of Telegram.
Telegram Russia has a cryptographic communications software that has more than 200 million users worldwide. The Russian Federal Security Service has repeatedly asked Telegram to hand over private keys so that they can view encrypted chat records stored between users. They claim that they need to use these keys in order to stop terrorist attacks. In April 2017, 15 people were killed in the suicide bombing of the St. Petersburg Metro. The terrorist used Telegram.As Telegram repeatedly refused this request, a statement issued by Russia’s national telecommunication regulator on its website announced that it had issued a notice to all telecom operators to ban the access to Telegram in Russia.
This ban caused a wave of incitement in Russia. In the center of Moscow, Telegram’s supporters threw paper planes at the Federal Security Service headquarters in Lubyanka Square to protest. There are also some Russians who started to use the VPN to bypass the ban.
In fact, it is difficult for us to say that Telegram is guilty of strictly following the data. Its practice is based on its own duties and obligations. But isn't the government's supervision wrong, nor is it that the "decentralization" of government supervision and blockchain technology has yet to find a middle point to achieve a balance between the two. Or, the peaceful symbiosis between the two is still at an exploratory stage.
