> Also, Telegram seems to have been banned in Russia at times, although I do not know the specific details. Russia tried a bunch of times to block Russia (since it got banned for not cooperating with the government) but never successfully, seems Telegran anti-censorship methods works well enough. Eventually Russia relented and undid the ban and block. But I don't think Telegram actually stopped working in Russia at any point.
