Sergei Sobyanin announced that Muscovites would receive information about UAV attacks and other threats through Max. This is not news about a notification method, but a signal.
At the same time, no one canceled Telegram and VKontakte; Messages will be duplicated there as well. But only Max is assigned as a mandatory message channel. Moscow does this demonstratively, as an example to others.
No one gave such instructions out loud. But it is written: the town halls and departments have received an understanding that they need to switch to Max in advance, because next year, apparently, Telegram will fall under strict restrictions and it will be impossible to maintain official accounts there. There aren't really decisions on fines, and that's what yesterday's post was about. But there is preparation, and it is more reliable than any leak.
There is also a more practical reason. Government agencies in the regions are already preparing contracts for information support for 2027. This can be seen from the terms of reference that are now coming to our agency: they list VKontakte and Max, but Telegram is not mentioned. In principle, it is impossible to spend budget money on this within the framework of such a contract.
If you are budgeting for next year and have not yet chosen an agency, now is the time. We have our own websites and our own bloggers in Max, without resale and at an appropriate price. write.
It would be strange not to publish yourself in such a post :).
