Many were closely familiar with Paul. So, for example, Nikolai Durov was the technical director of VKontakte, classmate Pavel Vyacheslav Mirilashvili was among the founders, and the father of Vyacheslav, a businessman, lent money to launch the project. At the same time, Pavel Durov was, as they say, the frontman of the site. Users encountered him who encountered problems.

The most striking manifestation of this can be considered the mass request of “Durov, return to the wall! In the year, VKontakte switched to the format of microblogs. Each published message could be commented, but in the old version the “wall” was not there. Users perceived the innovations with hostility. They are used to writing their messages on other people's pages without communication with other messages, but the microblog removed the opportunity to write on a foreign page “Starting” post, visitors had to be content with a commentary on the post of the owner of the page.

Under the pressure of the public, Durov returned the wall - however, for a short while and as an option. In the year, the "wall" finally collapsed, but it was no longer up to it. Durov's company began troubles. The loss of control over VKontakte in December of the year began mass protest rallies after elections to the State Duma.

Durov, according to him, categorically refused to provide them.

Representatives of the messenger refused - according to them, the keys are stored not on servers, but on user devices. The messenger was blocked in Russia until June.
