Between 1 September 2024 and 31 March 2025— estimated from Telegram’s id allocation, not measured. How this range is calculated.
12 measurements spanning 10 days, net +311. 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 19,022–19,429 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Readings taken

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 16 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.

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 39 of the 39 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 16,643reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 39 most recent posts we hold, published 27 July 2026 to 16 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

A paid reaction is a reader spending Telegram Stars — bought with money — on a post by @minutka_ethnography. Telegram publishes the count on the public post preview alongside ordinary reactions, and this register reads it there. It is the only figure on this site that measures money moving rather than attention.
Stars are not reactions, and the two are never added. They are rendered in the same strip on Telegram and counted in the same shape, but one is a tap and the other is a purchase. The reaction totals and the engagement rate elsewhere on this page exclude every figure in this section, and no rate here is computed against a reaction count.
This is not revenue, and we publish no currency figure. What a Star costs a reader and what it pays a channel are different numbers, Telegram takes a share we cannot observe, and the terms have changed. Converting a Star count into money would be an estimate dressed as a measurement, so the count is where we stop.
Counted over the 39 most recent posts we hold for this entry, published 27 July 2026 to 16 August 2026. Star counts above 1,000 reach us in Telegram’s short form and carry the same three-significant-figure rounding as everything else on this page.
В деревнях ударение в имени царя Соломона ставили на второй слог – Соло́мон. Почему так, объясняла популярная сказка.
Когда царица была беременна и на суде приняла ложное решение в пользу женщины, то из живота послышался осуждающий детский голосок: «Распутница по распутнице клобук кроет» или намного грубее – «Баба по бабе и суд судит. А бледь по бледи и клобук кроет».
Царица разозлилась, решила избавиться от ребенк…
Еще одну историю из Тенишевского архива – и снова послышится что-то до боли знакомое.

Вышла самая толстая книга о восточнославянском колдовстве и вообще одна из самых толстых книг по восточнославянскому фольклору (три другие толстячка на фото для примера и масштаба). Новая книга – антология источников за тысячу лет, которые рассказывают о преследованиях по обвинениям в магии.

Еще одну историю из Тенишевского архива – и словно «Одиссею» посмотрел.
«Современные аргонавты – солдаты, участвовавшие в кругосветном плавании – тешат народ рассказами о диковинках. [...Они рассказывают, что на одном] острове видели громадных людей, которыми был съеден один из товарищей рассказывающего. Таким образом, сказки о циклопах еще не умерли [в 1898 году]».

Медовый спас (День происхождения честного древа животворящего Креста), который отмечается сегодня, в прежние времена часто звали Мокрым спасом.
Народ в честь церковного праздника обливался водой. Конечно, особенно любили обливать женщин. Они и сопротивлялись послабее и выглядели мокрыми поинтереснее мужиков. Их буквально ловили на улице, тащили к речке или озеру – и бултых!
Не без приключений. Несколько прекрасных …

Редкий случай, когда нельзя в двух словах описать проект. Формально он про язык, в основном наш и английский, и про их языковые нюансы. Но ценность там во многом в сообществе, которое делится своими наблюдениями и словами.

Где достать хорошее вино? Отвечает Костромская губерния.
Лучшее – на кладбище, конечно. Раньше вино (водку) клали с покойниками в могилы. Кому при копании могил удавалось найти бутылку, тот говорил, что настолько хорошего вина прежде не пробовал, такое оно вкусное.

Еще одну историю из Тенишевского архива – и удивишься некоторому сходству нравов.
«"Губернские Ведомости" [в деревне все] выписывают по принуждению полиции, но никто их не читает. Один совсем неграмотный подрядчик получает "Губернские Ведомости" и никогда не берет их с почты. Кабатчик тоже выписывает "Губернские Ведомости" и тоже никогда их не читает».

Как добиться всего и стать счастливым? Отвечают все губернии хором.
Жалуйтесь! На всё и всегда. Говорите, что у вас болит спина, голова, глаза и суставы. Рассказывайте, что у вас постоянно всё валится из рук и никакие дела не получаются.
Это помешает вас сглазить, тогда и будете счастливыми! Главное – жалуйтесь и плачьтесь без остановки!

В русских сказках есть поразительный сюжет, который объясняет, почему у докторов плохой почерк. Вернее, обыгрывает эту идею.
Жил старик со старухой. Жили они плохо и бедно. Как-то заболели у старичка зубы, он поехал в город, зашел к врачу.
Тот поглядел зубы, велел уплатить три рубля за осмотр и 25 копеек за рецепт, после чего отправил старика в аптеку, где выдали лекарство.
Вернулся старик домой и заявил жене, что…

Showing the 12 most recent of 39 posts we hold for @minutka_ethnography. 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.
Stars beside a post are paid reactions — Telegram Stars, bought with money and spent on that post. They are a different unit from reactions and are never added to them, here or anywhere else on this page.
Posts edited after publishing
@minutka_ethnography edited 1 post after it first published — the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too — this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.

Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 4,243 of 1,481,243entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
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.
Mentions
Named by 33 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it. The 24 listed below are the most frequent namers; the rest are counted above but not each listed.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
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.
