“It’s time to admit that my favorite genre is military marches.” The founder of Telegram posted the second track of “Durikovich” called “Eh, VPNs are faithful”

Telegram founder Pavel Durov published the second track under the pseudonym “Durikovich” on his Telegram channel in Russian.

The composition is called “Eh, VPNs are Faithful.” Durov accompanied it with the following caption: “It’s time to admit that my favorite genre is military marches 🥁.”

The track contains these words:

In 1818 I stood under the banner,

In '19 I was in service.

The 20th met with proxy horses, bowed to my IP address.

I thought, we conquered, I thought, rest, bathhouse, grandchildren, fishing rod, seagulls on honey,

And in 2026: well, get up, pull on your boots, grandfather, I’m coming.

Further in the text, YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp are mentioned, which were “flunked” and “slammed”; “sovereignty”, “Chinese chips”, “the best IT specialists” who are “driven overseas” - and the refrain is periodically repeated: “Oh, faithful VPNs, proxies and mirrors / Rise up, telegram ones, the trumpet is calling us again.”

• On April 23, Durov published the first track of “Durikovich” called “Your Live Internet” - in the chanson genre. It contained the following words: “Where they cut the entrance, we found our way around / At our entrance they talk about VPN / The guy, the grandmother, the neighbor - everyone is not afraid now / If they cut off their light, then we will make our way through.”
