  1. Russian here

    To add some more spice to the conspiracy theories, Durov admitted in an interview at the end of July that he has more than 100 children, being a sperm donor, and three of them live in Switzerland. So there’s that.

    As for meeting Putin, the main reason I’m skeptical about this is I don’t think there is any partial reason for Putin to talk to him, instead of sending the minister of digital development or somebody similar.

    The only moderately plausible conspiracy theory I’ve heard is that Russian oligarchs who possibly lost money or didn’t get their returns from the Telegram ICO (there were unconfirmed rumors about Abramivich and Usmanov allegedly investing it it), who in turn asked Putin to meet Durov to get their money back

  2. If only they would admit something, lol

    Believing the words of the Russian authorities shows the level of intelligence of those who believe. They lie constantly. They lied that there would be no war, they lied that there would be no mobilization, they lied that there were no chemical weapons, they lied that there was no coronavirus, they lie constantly. Only a fool would believe the Russian authorities.

  3. These bubble gum “news sites” pop up like mushrooms after the rain. Wonder why the mods allow propaganda outlets to regurgitate their fiction, but it is what it is.

    For the people that are not brain dead, Durov is a wanted man in Russia. And he is not important enough to be met by a state official, Russian or otherwise.

  4. Oooh he’s met with Putin, well that explains why I’ve seen nazi groups out in the open on that app before.

  5. Honestly, I don’t know what they would be taking about, given that Putin has no clue about such things as internet and smartphones.

  6. You know that in this case denial is admission 🫡

    Z-blogers are going nuclear since yesterday, alcoholics in MFA are spitting saliva out of their mouths trying to get to Durov by either trading him for some 19 y.o. ‘Mother Theresa’ type of character western citizen arrested with 100 tons of cocaine in her purse, or giving him a novichok handshake ASAP.
