In an interview with Blogger Lex Friedman on YouTube, he said the incident occurred in an important period, when the Messenger group involved in raising cryptocurrencies and some countries tried to block the telegram.
This is the only moment in life when I seem to die, Mr. Durov said.
He described how he discovered a suspicious object left by a strange neighbor from Muslims at his rented townhouse. An hour later, he started the intense pain throughout his body.
Durov revealed who asked him to remove offensive Romanian channels
I tried to stand up and go to the toilet, but while I was walking, I felt that my body began to refuse. At first, the vision and hearing, it became difficult to breathe, the founder of the telegram shared.
He noted that he was sure about the approach of death, but the next morning he woke up with wild weakness and many hemorrhagic diseases across his body.
According to Durov, the recovery took about two weeks, during that time he could not move normally. The founder of the Telegram deliberately concealed what happened from his team so as not to cause unnecessary anxiety.
