[00:20] .  Since most of my audience is from Russia, it is very important to understand all the latest news.  And we'll start with a total blocking of Telegram. and why did they take such a stance on it?  Since the end of 2025, Russia has begun restricting

[01:00] they want to use for payments, public services, and communications, drawing audiences away from Telegram.  By the way, April 1st was not chosen by chance.  It's April Fools' Day, and the owner is a fool, so to speak. He was also fooled by 100 million Russian-speaking
[01:13] liability for advertising on Telegram and YouTube would be postponed until the end of 2026, formally a transitional period to allow the market to prepare for the new ban.  But I think it will also be banned soon.  In general, Telegram was blocked back
[01:27] in 2018, but then nothing really worked out for the Republic of Kazakhstan , but now everything has changed.  Equipment purchased from China, the introduction of whitelists, and internet shutdowns provide the ability to exert greater influence on blocking.  For example, Russians
[01:39] will be charged 150 rubles.  for every gigabyte of VPN traffic, the BBC found out.  But they gave me a 15 GB free international traffic per month for free, and then each subsequent gigabyte will cost around 150 rubles.  What to do in this case?  Well,
[01:52] example, with crypto.  Just forget about applies to the law banning payment for Apple subscriptions.  You can also pay with a crypto card, for example, PionK.  Also, another interesting piece of news.  The

[03:29] interesting piece of news. A bill has been introduced in the State Duma that, if passed—and most likely will be—will require tax residents to report the That is, for example, if someone creates Metamask, they must report it to the tax authorities.
[03:42] But I'm just wondering how they even know who's creating Metamask, which is the most decentralized? Write about it in the comments. Maybe they bought some new tool to detect your crypto wallets.  This
