That was a lot of effort for such an odd, empty, dialogue.
It's a decent illustration of how nobody in that emergent clusterfuck is particularly noble.
It isn't just Russia. Every major country is increasing surveillance drastically. As for smaller countries, well they're probably covertly manipulated by the bigger powers to such an extent that their claim for privacy is valid only so long as you don't cross one of the big powers. And if all else fails, it seems outright bans are being increasingly used. The best way to pushback against this would be if all of us wo…
I've been considering leaving Gmail for a privacy focused email service but it seems so difficult to switch. So many accounts and services have my Gmail registered, I don't think I could collect them all. Can anybody using ProtonMail (or any other privacy focused email) recommend it? I feel like choosing an email provider these days is as serious as choosing a bank.
I had an experience changing email address in the past and it's not that difficult, it's just time consuming. What I did is said to myself "that's it, I'm using this new address from now on". Then over the course of a year I monitored old email and evaluated each message. If I needed it (online shopping account, banking, etc), I went to whatever service sent it and changed my email. Some services don't support changing emails, in that case I would accept the loss and create a new account.

Privacy concerns aside, to me it's not better nor worse than any other email provider. There is a caveat though. On Android (and web app) you can't search through messages' bodies, only by subject/sender/etc. This is because they don't index them. You can do this on desktop if you're using Bridge app with, say, Thunderbird. Thunderbird then will do the indexing.

Bridge is for paid users only, and it's not open source thing. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail enables full-text search support for free accounts if the "local store" enabled, described in https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/wiki/FAQ.

Telegram still works as well. It's technically banned, but works thanks to its blocking countermeasures.

Do you have a source?
yep, it's in Russian though: https://news.mail.ru/society/40378912/
It seems all evidence is based on the emails sent by the author of the bomb threats. I don't think it works as evidence against this being an inside job.
