俄罗斯总统选举定于3月17日举行，但竞选结果早已毫无悬念。弗拉基米尔·普京一直以来都有清除所有潜在政治对手的习惯。例如，反对派政治家伊利亚·亚辛和弗拉基米尔·卡拉-穆尔扎因莫须有的指控而被关押，正在服刑。而最大的反对派政治家阿列克谢·纳瓦利内在2月16日在监狱中的可疑死亡。俄罗斯的公民社会，包括那些寻求自由和公正选举的人，急需来自国际各方的支持和团结。 source

Launched in 2013, Telegram allows users to broadcast messages to a following via “channels”, or create public and private groups that are simple for others to access. Users can also send and receive large data files, including text and zip files, directly via the app.The platform said it has more than 500m active users, and topped 1bn downloads in August, according to data from SensorTower.
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
