Durov stated: "A criminal case has been opened against me in Russia on charges of aiding terrorism. Every day, the authorities come up with new reasons to restrict access for Russians to Telegram, seeking to suppress freedom of speech and the right to privacy. It is a sad sight — a state frightened of its own people," he wrote on the social network X.
It is worth noting that the actions of the Telegram founder are already under investigation in Russia as part of a criminal case concerning assistance to terrorist activities. More details can be found at the link.
