How to use Telegram after blocking

Today the Tagansky court decided to block Telegram in Russia. The judge granted Roskomnadzor's claim, and

it was allowed to start blocking the service even before the decision came into force.

The reason Telegram is blocked isthat the creators of the service refused to give the FSB encryption keys for user correspondence. The Telegram leadership did not do this, because, according to them, this is simply not technically possible.
