Pavel Durov told a funny story that happened to him on April 1.
The entrepreneur reported how a joke was made in honor of April 1 on his Telegram channel. “Exactly a year ago, my assistant jokingly suggested that I put a space in my last name and become “du Rove” because I am a French citizen. Durov, laughing out loud, we filled out the form to “Frenchize” my name, which became “Paul du Rove” after a few extra beats.
As Pavel wrote further, he forgot about the application, but the French government remembers everything. It was soon processed and accepted by the state. Now, in the French passport his name is Paul du Rove. “When I think back on that day, I am grateful that my assistant’s creativity did not spread to my Emirati passport. Otherwise, you would be reading this article on the Al Dura channel,” he added. We hope this is not a joke…
Earlier, he talked about the time when he worked on the social network VKontakte. I miss the days of VKontakte: at that time I still did not know how to hire engineers and designers, so I worked 20 hours a day, programming and designing everything myself. I’m lucky to have the best team of programmers today,” he admits.
