Maybe it will help

Moscow is recalling its commissioner to the European Court, Pavel Laptev, from Strasbourg, Vedomosti writes. The Presidential Administration refused to comment on anything, but sources “close to...” claim that the matter has been decided, although Putin has not yet signed the decree. Laptev has held his post for 8 years now - his possible resignation is apparently due to the fact that Russia has begun to lose most of the complaints that reach the European Court, last year the total loss exceeded 1 million euros.
