Growth

2 measurements spanning 2 days. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 111–113 and does not start at zero.

Engagement

16 posts held, back to 26 June 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 1 July 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

What this channel posts

Photos: ≈799
Videos: ≈43
Links: ≈1,290

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 9 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

Reaction mix

7 reactions across 5 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 42.9% of them.

Every reaction kind recorded on the sample, most used first
Reaction	Count	Share
❤	3	42.9%
👍	1	14.3%
👏	1	14.3%
💩	1	14.3%
😢	1	14.3%

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 6 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 7reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 26 June 2023 to 1 July 2023, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

📣 Well, it looks to be over. 📣 Tonight, without any prior announcements, Twitter has disabled any access to tweets withot login. This means that the bot can't retrieve the data anymore, so I am shutting it down. I'll keep the channels, but there will be no updates unless Twitter reverses its decision or I will find a way to bypass this limitation (which is unlikely). It's very ironic and sad to see how two big pla…

(#) A great concluding essay by @yarotrof, and a great lesson to highlight. Yaroslav Trofimov: “The huge lesson we have learned about Putin is that, when he’s put in a corner, he’s not a rat that lashes out, he negotiates. It’s not just the Russian military power that looks weak, Putin looks weak.” My @WSJ Review cover essay. wsj.com/articles/whats…

(#) One bad day for Putin and we already hear the voices of people concerned with "Russia being too weak". A-a-a, nuclear warheads in hands of competing gangs! I tried to summarize, in one simple picture, what is wrong and what is right about these fears.

(#) I am surprised that even competent Russia-watchers use the word "purge" so easily. A dictator cannot do "a purge" without generals being executed or committing suicides. There've been no invisible purges, and there cannot be. In Stalin purges of the military, dozens of marshals and generals were executed, hundreds beaten, tortured, and imprisoned in inhumane conditions. No one was offered to go in exile or sit …

(#) The brave @IlyaYashin turns 40 today. Ilya serves 7 years for telling the truth about the Russian atrocities in Bucha and his anti-war broadcasts. Ilya is a friend, and now we have a special bond as writing about his prosecution is one of my "crimes". Happy birthday, Ilya!

(#) Oleksandra Matviichuk: Two 14-year-old twin sisters, Anna and Yulia Aksenchenko, were among those who died in the cafe after being hit by a Russian rocket. Now their mother is looking for wedding dresses to bury her daughters. But there are none in Kramatorsk; no salon is open. Solid pain.

(#) I bring bad luck to media - or maybe I am just one of those who stay until the end? Russian authorities declared @novayagazeta_en "an undesirable organization" today. My column appeared there on the same day. Last year, my post was on the Echo Moskvy front web-page on the day when it was closed down. I was interviewed live on @tvrain on their last day in Russia. A year before that, my last column in Vedomosti tri…

(#) Again, strong July 20, 1944 vibes: https://t.co/FE6neezxRn. Field marshal von Kluge, a fine Hitler's generals, has vacillated as the coup, which eventually failed, progressed - and had to commit suicide in the aftermath. But I wouldn't bet on Surovikin's suicide - Putin's is not strong enough to do a mass purge of the army as Hitler did, and clearly there were a lot of support for the Prigozhin's uprising both i…

(#) One underappreciated result of the Prigozhin mutiny is what Wagner brings to Belarus, where it relocates per agreement negotiated by Lukashenko. Now, the Belarus dictator has a protection against @belwarriors, the Kastus Kalinouski Regiment, a Belarus unit in the Ukrainian army.

(#) Wonkish, from an economic theorist from @uchicago. If I fly to Russia today, I will be immediately arrested for a few posts on my Facebook last year. However, if I try to dispose Putin and kill some border guards in the airport, then my criminal case will be closed and I will be clear to go abroad clean of any accusations. Back to economic theory and Chicago - isn't punishment supposed to be monotonic in the seve…

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @k_sonin. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.

A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
