“This is rotation,” a Kremlin spokesman for the Moscow Says radio station said.

On October 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the head of the HRC, Mikhail Fedotov, by appointing Valery Fadeev, Secretary of the Public Chamber, in his place.

The head of state also included journalist Kirill Vyshinsky on the council and expelled Yekaterina Shulman, Yevgeny Bobrov, Ilya Shablinsky and Pavel Chikov from it.

Later, the head of the HRC commission, Tamara Morshchakova, said she decided to resign from the council.

Councilor Igor Borisov commented on URA.RU's rotation in the squad.
