The first are tourists. They go for glamorous, yet soulless Insta experience of a glass-shielded high rise and a martini. This is a territory marking contemporary habit enabled by social platforms to keep home-staying crowd envious and excited.
Travelers dive into the raw, smelly, colorful, explosive, and authentically delicious diversity of street food prepared under the open air of a night market. Dishes are unceremoniously served on primitive plates as soon as they leave open flames. Cheap plastic stools are the butt-supporting method of choice. It's a place where locals and foreigners intermingle in a cacophony of sounds and languages, surrounded by shady buildings, dirty alleys, massage parlors, and occasional night entrepreneurs of the oldest profession.

Telegram users are able to send files of any type up to 2GB each and access them from any device, with no limit on cloud storage, which has made downloading files more popular on the platform. Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones.
