Sobyanin, Volodin and the Investigative Committee are already in "MAX", while Sokolov is not in a hurry yet.
In Russia, officials and agencies are registering en masse on the new national messenger "MAX". Over the past two days, Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin, State Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation announced their channels.
Volodin assures that registration is easy: you need to download the app, log in and create a channel. Sobyanin promised to report on improvements to the capital in "MAX", and the Investigative Committee announced it will publish real-time updates from incident sites.
At the same time, in Kirov Oblast, where an order has already been signed calling for the mass transition of officials, teachers, medical workers and even parents of schoolchildren to "MAX", Governor Alexander Sokolov, head of Kirov’s administration Vyacheslav Simakov, other "important figures" of the region and a number of regional agencies have not yet invited anyone to their channels. Although the project's roadmap states that by August 8, 2025 all executive bodies must register their employees in the messenger, and by August 15 create working chats. The order separately notes that there will also be a channel for the governor on "MAX".
The project envisages that the messenger’s rollout should be completed by the end of 2025. By then "MAX" is supposed to become a full-fledged platform for Kirov residents to contact government bodies and receive various services. But so far the main Kirov channel is not there.
