Telegram CEO Pavel Durov reveals the 3 pieces of advice he got from his dad, an expert in Ancient Rome
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, shared three pieces of advice his dad gave him for leading the messaging app. "A month ago, my father — a leading expert in Ancient Roman literature — turned 80. I asked what advice I should pass to the next generation," the Russian entrepreneur wrote in a post on X on Thursday. Valery Durov was head of classical philology — the study of language in historical sources — at St Petersburg State University until 2013, the year Pavel cofounded the encrypted messaging service with his brother Nikolai. Durov shared his father's advice on the 12th anniversary of Telegram's founding. He said his father's first tip was to lead by example because, "People — especially kids — follow what you do, not what you say." "Watching my father work tirelessly on numerous books and scientific papers showed me and my brother the meaning of dedication and inspired us to work hard too," Durov added. Durov said his father's second piece of advice was to focus on the positive. "Growing up in post-war Leningrad, my father learned to control emotions to be a positive force for his family, colleagues, and society," Durov wrote. "He taught me to frame thoughts in ways that bring the most good, even in hard times." The tech billionaire said his father's final advice stemmed from his study and translation of figures like Julius Caesar and Seneca. Valery Durov advised prioritising conscience, his son wrote on X, because he believed a person's moral compass, "unlike intelligence or creativity, is the ultimate human quality that will not lose value even in the age of AI," he said. Durov said in March that the app has a billion active users and called WhatsApp "a cheap, watered-down imitation of Telegram." Durov was arrested in France last August over claims Telegram was being used by criminals to facilitate money laundering, drug trafficking, and other offenses. He later said the app had faced some "growing pains" that made it easier for criminals to abuse but added, "Claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue."

Russia's long-range bombers kept up attack tempo, showing fleet's 'resilience' despite Ukraine's Spiderweb attack: UK MOD
Russia's long-range bombers are still assailing Ukraine at a steady pace despite June's daring drone attack against the fleet, the UK's defense ministry said in a recent assessment. In an intelligence update on Wednesday, the British ministry wrote that it had observed seven long-range attack packages launched against Ukraine in July, involving at least 70 "premier munitions" — powerful cruise missiles. "Russian Long Range Aviation bombers have maintained their offensive tempo, continuing to demonstrate the resilience and retained capability of the fleet following Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb on June 1, 2025," the ministry wrote. Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 13 August 2025. Find out more about Defence Intelligence's use of language: #StandWithUkraine — Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 (@DefenceHQ) August 13, 2025 The assessment comes six weeks after Ukraine launched a surprise drone attack on four airbases deep inside Russia that housed the Kremlin's strategic bombers and early warning aircraft. Using first-person-view drones transported via truck, Ukraine damaged what it said was at least a third of Russia's bomber fleet. Dubbed Operation Spiderweb, the attack was hailed as one of the starkest examples of how asymmetric warfare can endanger high-level military assets like the $150 million Tu-95MS bomber. Ukrainian officials have said that the attack inflicted $7 billion worth of damage. Before the attack, Russia was believed to field roughly 67 strategic bombers in its active inventory, and videos released by Ukraine show that at least nine of them were heavily damaged in Operation Spiderweb. Ukraine reported that the attack damaged or destroyed at least 41 total aircraft, but independent analysts have said it's difficult to affirm that claim. Crucially, these aircraft can't be easily replaced. Russia is believed to have ceased production of the Tu-95 and Tu-22M, and while it's still making the newer Tu-160, only two have been reported manufactured in the last three years. Notably, long-range bombers are also one of the three key pillars of Russia's nuclear triad. Still, Russia has continued to bombard Ukraine after the June attack with a combination of one-way attack drones and missiles. Russia typically relies on its strategic bombers to fire cruise missiles, most commonly munitions from the Kh air-to-surface missile family. After Operation Spiderweb, one of Russia's biggest strategic bomber attacks unfolded on June 6, when Ukraine reported that Moscow launched at least 36 Kh-101 cruise missiles in one night. Ukrainian media, however, at the time cited unnamed sources saying that Russian forces had to compensate for a reduced fleet during the attack by loading each bomber to full capacity. Either way, Russia has continued using its bomber fleet in high-profile attacks. On July 12, Ukraine's air force reported another wave of 26 Kh-101 cruise missiles fired into Ukrainian airspace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that in July alone, Russia had fired over 3,800 Shahed explosive drones and 260 missiles. However, he did not specify which of the latter were launched by strategic bombers.

State Department offers $6 million reward in Russian crypto scheme
Aug. 14 (UPI) -- The State and Treasury departments are offering rewards of up to $6 million for information leading to arrests in a Russian-operated cryptocurrency scheme, officials announced Thursday. Garantex, a Russian-operated cryptocurrency exchange, allegedly used a series of criminals and cybercrime organizations to launder billions of dollars using hacking software, ransomware, terrorism and drug trafficking schemes, the FBI and Secret Service said. "Between April 2019 and March 2025, Gartantex processed at least $96 billion in cryptocurrency transactions," a release from the State Department said. The State Department is offering individual rewards of $5 million and $1 million for Russian national Aleksandr Mira Serda, and other Garantex leaders. The department is also targeting Grinex, a cryptocurrency exchange that was established as Garantex's successor.
