Recall Sergei Petukhov, Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine on European Integration, about Russia's attempt to provide Ukraine with non-constructive recommendations on respect for human rights.

He said that Russia is using such actions for its propaganda purposes, and Syria recently "was concerned about the rights of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine."

On the background of preparation for the fourth presidential term, Vladimir Putin began cleaning up the old Russian political elite, stating that it gives way to young people "with a fire in sight." However, as the analysis shows, in this regard, he managed to achieve very limited progress.

This writes agency Reuters.

As the agency's analysis shows, the age of the Russian government, the upper and lower chambers of parliament, the Security Council and the presidential administration is three years higher than at the start of the current Putin cadence in 2012.

Reuters compared the personal data of 784 current regional governors, members of the upper and lower chambers of parliament, government, the Security Council and the presidential administration, with personal data from 768 officials who were in power in May 2012.

Of the 784 officials, 314 changed positions in the last two years, while in May 2012 the figure was 368.

The average age of top officials in the RF has increased from 52.6 years in 2012 to 55.5 years. It is noted that in the Security Council, where Putin personally heads, the average age of officials remained at the level of 60.4 years.

In the presidential administration, the average age of employees is 57 years, compared with 53.2 years in 2012, and in the State Duma, the average age has grown to almost 53 of 51 years, compared with five years earlier.

"There is a resemblance to the era (Soviet leader Leonid) Brezhnev that we have fallen into pernicious stability, which has no way out," Russian political scientist Dmytro Oreshkin told the agency.

"There is no risk to Putin because the system is running and subordinate to him. There are risks for the country and the economy, the stability model is backed up by loyalty and corruption, outside of Moscow, which is rich, there is a stagnation," added Oreshkin.
