> The Russian state stopped blocking Telegram after the state investments in the platform,

Where are you getting this from? Russia has seen Telegram as an enemy since day 0, and probably had to lift their block because it didn't work at any point, Telegram was available in the country the entire time.

Have these "state investments" been reported on by some reputable organizations?

So RDIF says they've invested in Telegram, Telegram says they were approached but said no. Is there any 3rd party sources for this that can confirm either side?

They blocked Signal but can't do anything to their biggest enemy Telegram?
