Russia's got a new super app, Max.

Modeled after Telegram and China's WeChat, the messaging and e-commerce platform aims to be an all-in-one digital hub, offering everything from taxi hailing services to electronic passport wallets.

Can you tell us a bit about what paved the way for this app to come about?

What about the company behind Max, the tech giant VK?

And we should note that VK declined to comment for this story.

So every new smartphone in Russia must now come with Macs preloaded while Telegram and WhatsApp are blocked.

How are people there responding to that?
