> it remains widely popular in Central Europe, Russia
It used to be popular in Russia to the point of being synonymous to instant messaging, but it's since been largely forgotten. My current circles use VK and Telegram. WhatsApp is also somewhat popular apparently but not so much around me. If ICQ ever pops up in conversations these days, it's always something nostalgic (also, back then no one used the atrocious official client).
