Entrepreneur Igor Ashmanov published an unofficial recording of a meeting between Roskomnadzor deputy head Oleg Terlyakov and representatives of the IT industry, at which the idea of a single “state VPN” was discussed. His wife Natalya Kasperskaya also attended the meeting.

▪️Terlyakov: Whether people love us or don’t love us is a question we will leave aside. We are doing our job. We have a task, and we will carry it out. We can do it together with you, or separately without you.

▪️Kasperskaya: But is there any result from the blockings? For example, did you block Telegram?

▪️Terlyakov: Yes, of course.

Later, Ashmanov deleted his post

Telegram still works, but the blocking was called a success.
