P for productivity? The most active governors on Telegram are Gladkov and Filimonov.

The governors of the Belgorod and Vologda regions, Vyacheslav Gladkov and Georgy Filimonov, hold the highest number of regional governorships. About the study data write Vedomosti. But the leader in reach is still Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who has over 2 million subscribers. 

On average, Gladkov's channel posts 12 posts per day, while Filimonov's is more than 10. But while Gladkov, according to NeMoskva's observations, most often writes on the topic, including the operational situation, Filimonov regularly allows himself "lyrical" digressions: videos of his sports training, posts about религии, "voice" with good morning wishes, and so on. Political scientists note that the Vologda governor enjoys the hate, provokes various types of reactions, and therefore enjoys a high level of mentions. And his high media activity has become "one of the main factors of political stability."

Gladkov and Filimonov also made it into the top three of the Anna Karenina Index by content volume for the year. Gladkov's subscribers read the equivalent of 1,7 Anna Kareninas on his channel. Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev came in second, with Filimonov in third. Acting Kursk Region Governor Alexander Khinshtein also made it into the top five (about 1,2 Anna Kareninas).

The most popular emoji used by governors is the Russian flag. Acting Governor of the Kursk Region Alexander Khinshtein uses the most emojis, averaging over five per post. Second and third place go to Vladimir Region Governor Alexander Avdeyev and the ever-indefatigable Filimonov. 

In total, 13 million people have subscribed to the governors.
