Scared? Deripaska Deleted Posts Criticizing the War and the Kremlin from Telegram

Billionaire Oleg Deripaska deleted all posts published before November 1, 2025, from his Telegram channel, noted 'Important Stories.'

In the deleted posts, as noted by the publication, the Russian billionaire criticized the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine and the policies of the Russian authorities, writes Meduza.

Thus, in April 2022, Oleg Deripaska wrote that the war is "madness" that "needs to end right now."

Deripaska has been running his channel since January 2020. According to Tgstat data, the businessman began deleting posts a few years ago, with the mentioned post about the war being removed in August 2024. It is unclear when he conducted a complete cleanup of the channel—some posts were deleted in January 2026.

Earlier, the prominent Russian entrepreneur published an emotional message on his Telegram channel, expressing surprise at why the Russian authorities "are losing everything." "There is some extremely primitive experiment going on, which will end in the bankruptcy of thousands of companies and enterprises that are fully capable of working for the benefit of our God-chosen country," emphasized Deripaska.
