After a five-hour session held in the Moscow City Duma building, President Vladimir Putin's 42 nominees to the Public Chamber late Tuesday selected a second tranche of 42 members from a list of 184 candidates from national nongovernmental organizations.

As expected, the new members included billionaires Mikhail Fridman and Vladimir Potanin, as well as a bevy of celebrities.

The 84 members tapped for the chamber so far will pick the final 42 members from regional NGOs in early December, and the chamber will begin work early next year, a senior member of the chamber, lawyer Anatoly Kucherena, told reporters Wednesday.
