So Telegram wants to become a "Russian" super app, akin to WeChat and LINE.



International, not "Russian".

Seemingly.

Edit: They publicly oppose the Russian government - care to explain your down vote?


Per capita Russia probably has the most downloads. It's only surpassed by India in absolute terms.

That's why I put Russian in quote marks :)


The Russian wannabe super app is VKontakte. Telegram is currently based in UAE.
