IIRC Telegram's founder originally fled Russia and went to Israel.
The Russian authorities had difficulties tracking down people
who were writing things that were against the official line
of the regime on Telegram. So the Russian authorities got annoyed
by Telegram and Telegram's founder had to flee Russia.
The Russian authorities even slowed down the speed of
internet connections to Telegram's servers inside Russia
on February 2022 and in the 6 following months. I wonder
if the internet speed for connections to Telegram's servers is
still artificially being slowed down.
I'm trying to figure out whether
I understand you correctly. Are you saying that Telegram
is an official means of communication for the Russian military
on the Ukrainian front? Or are you saying that Telegram is used
on the front as a normal means of communication? Used mainly
by soldiers. To keep in touch with their circle of friends. Any
people anywhere in the world would use Telegram to keep in touch with
their circle of friends. Not just Russian soldiers on the Ukrainian
front. And are you saying that Telegram is not a means of 
communication used by Russian military officials on the
Ukrainian front? To transmit orders for example.
