How to Russify Telegram on all platforms

Telegram is an incredibly popular messenger both abroad and in the Russian Federation. However, for some reason, Pavel Durov (creator of the application) did not release a version in Russian. Although getting confused in English is not so difficult, since the options in the messenger are quite few, but for some it becomes a stumbling block.
