Telegram is VERY popular there. What it has to offer are users who would see ads and pay for the subscription.

But the ban was only somewhat effective for like a month, then Telegram found a way to avoid it. In two years no one even felt like it was banned. So what could Russia offer to Telegram? Literally nothing.
