In case of blocking Telegram on the territory of Russia, the Kremlin press service will switch to another messenger.

This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov, reports RIA Novosti..

"You know that (the head of Roskomnadzor - Ed.. ) Zharov is engaged in this, and this is a matter, in fact, compliance with those norms that are attributed to our current legislation. If, in the end, the services of this messenger are unavailable, then we move on to another one, let's see what will be more convenient. In this case, there is competition here, that is, there is a choice, "he said..

Asked whether Peskov agrees with the statement of the creator of the Telegram, Pavel Durov, that Roscomnadzor's demand violates Article 23 of the Constitution on the secrecy of correspondence, the Kremlin's press secretary replied: "This is not our question".

As reported by the "Observer", the FSB earlier said that terrorists and their curators abroad actively used the Telegram messenger to prepare a terrorist act in the St. Petersburg metro on April 3.
