Not end-to-end. Telegram servers see (and log, this is in Russia!) plaintext.

1) In the context of a public discussion channel, end-to-end encryption and plaintext logging are features. Their presence means that a person is able to join and see context. This is good.
2) Telegram is not based in Russia. In fact, it's been intermittently blocked in the country.
