Federation Council renewal Votes and farewell speeches

Oct 2

Timchenko reports twenty newly empowered senators and their requested committee placements; the Council adopts the committee-composition resolution. It separately approves early termination of mandates for Dmitry Vorona, Maksim Kavdzharadze, Darya Lantratova and Dmitry Perminov after their election to the Duma, Olga Shchetinina as she changes the authority she represents, and Yevgeny Bogomazov for personal reasons. The complete ceremony includes awards, Kavdzharadze's retrospective and State Duma plans, farewell remarks by Vadim Dengin and Gennady Ordenov, new senators' credential presentations and Matviyenko's list of renewed mandates. Kavdzharadze also retrospectively praises the 2020 constitutional vote and the Council's expanded role, interpreting the approval as trust in Putin. Those political interpretations and his territorial-legitimacy claims remain attributed; his compressed lists of other historical acts are not independent detailed accounts.

At the first autumn sitting, Matviyenko welcomes twenty newly empowered senators and asks experienced members and staff to assist them. Timchenko reports their committee requests and the Council approves committee placements; credential presentations follow. Their earlier regional appointments and renewed mandates of other senators are distinct from this October 2 organizational entry.
