Telegram is initiating the legal process to open a representative office in Russia, following a four-year delay since legislation mandated foreign tech firms to establish a local presence. Telegram had previously resisted compliance, taking minimal steps such as registering with the state communications watchdog. Its popularity spans various political groups within Russia. The registration with Roskomnadzor is currently marked as "under approval," although the timing may relate to Russia's development of a state-sponsored messaging app to compete with Telegram.
The developer of the Telegram messaging app has begun the legal process of opening a representative office in Russia, responding to local regulations after years of non-compliance.
Telegram Messenger, Inc.'s office registration is listed as "under approval" by the state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor.
