> I would prefer that they simply integrate Ethereum
looks like TON is has its own proof-of-stake system, so it's competition for Ethereum. is that why Russia is blasting it off the internet?

Russia's attempts to block Telegram are almost certainly related to the services that Telegram offers now, not things which it might hypothetically offer in the future.
PS: I'm still not convinced all of this is not some charade, but then again I don't trust anybody that build communication tools, so do take the charade comment with a grain of salt.
What are the chances a government (and a Russian government of them all!) would not only actually understand cryptocurrencies, but also have some solid strategy regarding those? Some governments are maybe close to this, but in overall - I'd say, chances are quite low.
Nah, it's just that FSB want to be able to either read messages or kill the non-cooperating service. Or, if we take another theory, they want to make to make an impression the service is extremely uncooperative and they absolutely can't read any messages. Either of those is much simpler and plausible than a conspiracy to ban some token that doesn't even exist yet.
