The Mayor of Krasnoyarsk has withdrawn from the State Council.
Fresh Take:
Vladimir Putin, our president, has signed an update to the State Duma, its presidium, and various commission groups. Four previous members, including the mayor of Krasnoyarsk, Vladislav Loginyov, were boot outta there.
The presidential decree, titled "On making changes to the composition of the State Duma..." and approved on December 21, 2020, and a decree dated July 24, 2024 on "Commissions of the State Duma of the Russian Federation's developmental directions..." were published on the official portal on April 2nd.
According to it, new members joining the Council include the mayor of Irkutsk, Ruslan Bolotov, acting governor of the Nenets Autonomous Area, Irina Gekht, acting governor of Novgorod Oblast, Alexander Dronov, and mayor of Yushno-Sakhalinsk, Sergei Nadzadin. On the flip side, four previous members were removed, including former Nenets Autonomous Area governor Yuri Bezudny, Loginyov, ex-governor of Novgorod Oblast Andrey Nikitin, and mayor of Murmansk, Yuri Serdechkin.
The document has taken effect already.
Now lemme remind ya, that Loginyov was elected a member of one of the State Duma’s committees (for coordinating and evaluating the performance of executive bodies in constituent entities of the Russian Federation) in September of last year.
The State Duma of Russia is a constitutional body responsible for ensuring harmonious work and interaction between the various organs of public power, as well as determining the main directions of domestic and foreign policy for Russia and priority directions for the country's socio-economic development. The State Duma consists of 21 committees.
The composition of this body is often updated. For instance, the presidium is changed every six months.
