For those who do not aware how this story began. After the ban was introduced, Russian Internet Monitoring Agency (Роскомнадзор) tried to enforce it, blocking whole subnets where Telegram proxies were spotted. It led to massive shutdown of many Russian IT companies' services, relying on AWS and DO infrastructure, with resulting multimillion dollar losses. However, Telegram remained afloat, ashaming Russian officials responsible for censorship. After several years of numerous attempts, they still could not enforce the ban (honestly, their expertise visibly worse than, let's say, those who designed Great Chinese Firewall), and had to officially lift it.
