Wolin said that the Ministry has never initiated a lock Telegram
Earlier, the Deputy Minister noted that the decision on the status of the messenger in Russia is in the competence of the court and the other branches of government to influence it can not.
"why did you decide that the Ministry would ever take a course on lock Telegram? We never made any initiatives of blocking Telegram, nor with appeals to the court to block it. The court's decision on the Telegram lock was made on the basis of the fact that Pavel Durov did not submit codes that he requested and that he had to do then adopted by the law".
Volin reminded that in Russia there is no court decision, which prohibits the use of the messenger.
