Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin’s government on several occasions.
Comment on Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?

Sure its is. Russia has the keys so they can snoop. Its encrypted though so just the kremlin can read it. Enjoy.

Wasn’t it unblocked again soon after?

It was “blocked” for 2 years, though there was a problem accessing it for only a month or so as Telegram developers implemented ways to avoid the ban. In 2 years the government officials decided that Telegram made enough effort to block extremist materials to remove themselves from the embarrassment. Now they probably think “why didn’t we trick Durov to visit us and just arrest him like France did”.

I am fairly convinced that it was either theater from the beginning, or some agreement was reached before it was “unblocked”. RKN doesn’t care about “embarrassment” or collateral damage if they want to do something.

Its not and it wasn’t banned for very long unofficially.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest Upends Kremlin Military Communications tech.slashdot.org/…/telegram-ceo-pavel-durovs-arr… I’m sure its nice with your head in the sand but it doesn’t make any of you right.
The idea that any of them are secure is a pipe dream.
