Telegram resumed operations in Dagestan in late May after months of blocking, reportedly due to 2023 airport riots linked to Telegram channels. The app remains blocked in Chechnya, with officials citing national security concerns. The initial bans were imposed in March following federal decisions. Local leaders continue to call for unblocking, citing citizens’ right to information access.
