20 posts held, back to 9 December 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 2 pagesof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
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.

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.
Several Wildberries logistics facilities were attacked in less than a week. The strikes mark a significant expansion of the war into Russia’s civilian consumer economy, directly affecting a platform used by millions of consumers, employees and small businesses. The damage is highly visible, yet the state has no agreed mechanism for protecting private infrastructure or distributing wartime losses. Companies are expect…
Putin does not believe that Ukraine's strike campaign can break Russian society. He reads it as a Western attempt to make his position fragile, and he is drawing conclusions from that reading which are not the ones being anticipated in Western capitals. The new R.Politik Bulletin, No. 13 (187), is out today. The assumption underpinning current Western policy is that mounting pressure will eventually bring Putin to …
The US-Iran memorandum signed in Islamabad is being read in Moscow in two seemingly contradictory ways. The loud version treats it as an American capitulation in the war — confirmation that Washington tried to topple an authoritarian regime but failed, and ended up in a more complicated position than before the war: a sign that US power is in decline despite its military might. The quieter, more realist version ackno…
Armenia has held an election that became a new geopolitical test for Russia: whether it has learnt the lessons of its failed relationships with the former Soviet states, how the decision-making unfolded, and why, once again, Moscow resorted to old coercive tactics despite past setbacks. No surprise — the overt pressure lifted Pashinyan's rating and helped him to the result that secures an absolute majority in parliam…
Putin went to Beijing four days after Trump, and the sequence flattered Moscow only on the surface. Trump had left without a breakthrough; Russia could present itself as China's steadier partner. But the visit produced no Power of Siberia 2 and no significant agreements, and what it confirmed was the asymmetry underneath the friendship: China is now the player whose economy lets Russia keep fighting. Beijing declines…
Russia's 81st Victory Day was the most tense of any in the post-Soviet era. The drastically reduced parade — no hardware on Red Square for the first time in 19 years, a sharply shrunken foreign turnout — was driven by a real fear that Ukraine could disrupt the celebrations. Moscow warned Kyiv of devastating strikes on decision-making centres, briefed Washington, Beijing and New Delhi on the consequences of any disrup…
For nearly two years, Russia's political agenda has been dominated by foreign affairs — Ukraine, the Trump diplomacy, Iran, the cycles of negotiation and failure. Over the past few weeks, the centre of gravity has shifted inward. What is emerging is a system simultaneously tightening its grip and losing some of its instinctive coordination. The viral 18-minute address to #Putin by influencer Victoria Bonya — 30 mill…
For the first time since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian elite appears to be on the brink of an internal schism. On the one hand, the Kremlin’s continued use of the war to justify new rounds of repression makes it seem as if it’s business as usual. On the other hand, unhappiness over the recent push for total control of the internet is increasingly visible, with even loyalists starting to publ…
Russia's internet is being reshaped in real time. The FSB launched a simultaneous offensive this spring — mass blocking of VPN protocols, pressure on platforms to filter traffic, and the effective blocking of Telegram, now accessible only via VPN. On 3 April, a major banking outage left millions unable to make payments, with cash briefly becoming the only option — and the tightening of digital restrictions may have p…
The Middle East war just dropped an unexpected financial gift on Moscow — but the real drama is unfolding inside Russia. R.Politik Bulletin No. 6 (180) is out. IN FOCUS A major oil supply shock from the Iran conflict has narrowed Urals discounts and given the Kremlin short-term breathing room, helped by the temporary US waiver. Putin is treating it as temporary. The budget crisis isn’t. Yet the domestic stories ar…
The Iran war is dominating global headlines — US-Israeli strikes since 28 February, Khamenei assassinated, Mojtaba now Supreme Leader, oil markets volatile over Hormuz threats, and Trump claiming the US is “very far ahead of schedule.” Public discourse remains focused on the immediate chaos: who gains from rising #oil prices? Is this a strategic distraction for Russia in Ukraine? Will the conflict ultimately damage …
If you follow Russia’s strategic thinking, the interplay between the Middle East conflict and Ukraine, the Telegram situation, or you simply want a detailed, source-based analysis of the factors shaping decisions in Moscow — the full 45-page document is now available at R.Politik.
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @rpolitik. 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.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
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.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 16 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
