MOSCOW, October 31. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has appointed Igor Rudenya, the country's new envoy to the Northwestern Federal District, to the Security Council, expelling Igor Krasnov, Chairman of the Supreme Court, to make room for him, according to the portal of legal acts.

"To include I. M. Rudenya, the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the North-Western Federal District, as a member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation; to exclude I. V. Krasnov from the body," the document says.
