This was stated by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy <strong data-start=\"459\" data-end=\"478\">Mikhail Delyagin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"644\">According to him, the blocking of the messenger may occur <strong data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"561\">by analogy with YouTube<\/strong> and be <strong data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"607\">timed to coincide with the state duma elections<\/strong>, scheduled for autumn 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"667\">What Delyagin said.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"830\">The Russian deputy suggested that the authorities may resort to a complete ban on Telegram as a tool to control the information space ahead of the election campaign.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"1011\">At the same time, Delyagin assured that if the messenger is blocked <strong data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"954\">\u00abfreedom of speech and democracy\u00bb in russia allegedly will not be affected<\/strong>, as citizens will be left with alternative platforms.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1025\">Context.<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1282\">Since the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russian authorities have consistently tightened their control over the Internet and media space.
