Alexander Mikushin, a priest at the Pokrovsky Cathedral in the city of Barnaul, said Russians should “ask God” to bring “wisdom” to officials at Roskomnadzor who approved the decision to block the service. Mikushin described Telegram as more than a communication tool, calling it a space “for prayer, heartfelt conversation, and helping one’s neighbor.”
