MOSCOW, July 9 State Duma deputy Anton Gorelkin said in his Telegram channel that the new Threads* social network is unlikely to become popular in Russia.
«So far I have a feeling that the new social network is unlikely to become popular inside Russia: nevertheless, the Twitter mechanics did not take root very well with us,» he wrote.
At the same time, Gorelkin believes that Threads* is interested in the Russian audience.
«It's not for nothing that the application's interface was completely localized at the start,» the parliamentarian added.
Gorelkin noted that he is considering opening an English-language account in Threads*.
* Meta activity (social networks Facebook, Instagram, Threads) is banned in Russia as extremist.
