Earlier, a source familiar with the situation said that Davydova had left Russia and had no plans to return. I can’t say anything about this.The fact is that I haven’t seen her for a long time, so she didn’t provide any formal documents, she didn’t accompany her with a phone call.Therefore, unfortunately, everything that I learn, I learn from the media. I don’t know anything about the reasons for her departure and I don’t maintain contacts,” Pozdnyakov told reporters. Pozdnyakov does not consider Davydova’s departure a loss for the ROC. «In recent years, we have accumulated such experience that practically the leader of any level of the ROC can replace another. Therefore, I cannot recognize this fact as a loss,» the ROC president noted.
