Key points:
β’ In 2018, Durov nearly died from severe poisoning: he temporarily lost his sight, hearing, and ability to breathe. Since then, he has considered his life as βbonus time.β
β’ Pavel follows an ascetic lifestyle β no alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, or medication. Every day he does hundreds of push-ups and squats to stay in shape.
β’ Telegram only became profitable in 2024. Today, more than 15 million users pay for the premium subscription, generating over $500 million annually.
β’ His management style is minimalist: no cumbersome structures or bureaucracy. He recruits engineers through competitions, and the core team consists of just about 40 people.
β’ For Pavel, freedom of speech is a fundamental principle. It was the reason he left Russia and built Telegram as a platform free from external pressure.
β’ Durov often warns about the dangers of global control but believes that cryptography and new technologies can help preserve independence. He sees competition as a key driver of progress.
β’ Currently, he is based in Dubai, where he values neutrality and a business-friendly environment.
