Or it is just a charade to make it look like Telegram is not controlled by the kreml
Why would someone who has stood up to the Russian government multiple times, had a company taken away from him already for not being compliant and is now living in exile hand control of Telegram to that same government?
Nice counter :)
For the amount of haters telegram had when they launched for their purported security failures, it's funny that people are looking to block it instead of silently explore its flaws

Why would such someone would wave flag of security making it the biggest selling point and then go with questionable practices?
Secure messaging is hard, most people when producing secure messaging will produce poor secure messaging - it doesn't mean they've been compromised by a government.

Over 40 percent of Russians support the verification of internet users on social networks or other internet platforms, as proposed in a bill drafted by a well-known pro-Orthodox lawmaker.
I wonder if it's real or just propaganda? FWIW,
In May, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the strategy for the development of the Russian information community between 2017 and 2030. This document states that in order to successfully develop the internet and the communications infrastructure as a whole, the country needs working mechanisms that would introduce a system of trust between users, and eliminate anonymity and the lack of responsibility that it causes.

There is no such agency "Russian Federal Service". You have "Russian Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and Mass Communications" which is too verbose to refer in the article. I think a generic name such as "Russian Communications Watchdog" is better fit.
Ros - Russian
kom - communications
nadzor - supervision/surveillance
