If you've used Telegram for a while you will notice that in practice no one uses secret chats because these chats don't sync between devices. Your "non-secret" chats are readable by Pavel and anyone he wishes to share them with. I guess it's fine if you trust Pavel's good intentions. I don't[1].

Holy shit, Pavel sounds very much like JM Le Pen.

I don't know what I would feel worst about: being compared to Merkel or Le Pen
