Details: It is reported that Mikhailov, who led the propaganda news outlet in its justification of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, resigned from his post at his own will.

He was replaced by Andrey Kondrashov, the former press secretary of the Russian dictator's campaign headquarters and author of the propaganda films Putin and Crimea. The Way to the Motherland.

It is reported that since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Kondrashov has been subject to sanctions by Canada and the European Union.

Quote from StratCom: "This change proves that the Kremlin has recognised the failure of its propaganda work. It is obvious that Russian leaders are also dissatisfied with the coverage of Prigozhin's rebellion."
