Russia's financial monitoring service, Rosfinmonitoring, has added Telegram founder Pavel Durov to its list of terrorists and extremists. However, authorities have not recognized Telegram itself as an extremist organization, and buying Telegram Premium is not considered a criminal offense. While users can continue using the messenger without fear of repercussions, sending personal transfers or 'stars' to Durov's channel is not recommended due to potential legal consequences.
