Telegram will not be completely blocked in Russia from April 1st, the State Duma announced.

According to Svintsov, Deputy Chairman of the IT Committee, only restrictions for individual channels are being discussed.

"It is possible that some additional restrictions will be introduced specifically against Telegram channels as sources of dissemination of fake and prohibited information, but the messenger itself as a source of messaging will not be blocked by April 1st," he added.
