President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree “On the early termination of the powers of the mayor of Moscow,” Interfax reports. “To remove Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov from the post of mayor of Moscow due to the loss of confidence of the President of the Russian Federation,” the decree says. Thus, he was dismissed, which the media have been talking about for the third week as an inevitable fact.
According to the Kremlin press service, the president appointed the head of the city construction complex, Vladimir Resin, as acting mayor of Moscow. Resin, 74, is the oldest among Moscow's deputy mayors. During the absence of the mayor, it was Resin, as a rule, who was entrusted with the powers of the acting governor.
Let us note that only the day before, Luzhkov, having returned from a week-long vacation, announced that he was not going to resign. The mayor noted that after his vacation he began to perform his duties as mayor “in a great mood.” The city administration informed journalists that Luzhkov was going to go on three planned foreign business trips in October - to Germany, Vietnam and Kazakhstan. Articles dedicated to Luzhkov's resignation and the events that preceded it were written on Tuesday by Zagolovki.ru.
Let us remind you that President Medvedev is currently on an official visit to China. Previously it was assumed that the decision on resignation would be made after Medvedev returned to Moscow. As presidential press secretary Natalya Timakova told reporters on Tuesday, Medvedev does not plan to meet with former Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov after his return.
The head of state's press secretary recalled that Luzhkov took a week off, which was agreed upon with the presidential administration. According to Timakova, Luzhkov had to “think about how he would act next.” As Timakova made it clear, Luzhkov was offered a softer option for early termination of office. “Today, there are two options for the head of a region to leave his post early - either at his own request, which is expressed in a resignation letter, or when the president makes such a decision, but with strict wording - a loss of trust,” Timakova recalled. “Draw your own conclusions,” added the presidential press secretary.
“Yuri Luzhkov is now a simple citizen,” Timakova emphasized. When asked by Life News whether the ex-mayor would be nominated for a state award, the press secretary replied that “we are not even talking about this.” Let us note that in a similar scenario, in July 2010, the president dismissed another political “heavyweight” - the head of Bashkiria, Murtaza Rakhimov. Then Rakhimov announced his voluntary early retirement, and Medvedev awarded him the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st degree.
Thus, Luzhkov’s statements made the day before that he would not leave, and comments from the president’s press service mean that negotiations with the Kremlin on the terms of the mayor’s resignation were carried out and were terminated, since the parties did not reach a compromise. As a source close to the leadership of United Russia told the Vedomosti newspaper, among the posts that were offered to Luzhkov in exchange for his voluntary departure were the chairman of the Federation Council and the head of the state corporation Olimpstroy. As analysts suggest, it is possible that the parties did not agree when discussing the conditions or timing of the mayor’s departure.
Let us recall that Yuri Luzhkov served as mayor of Moscow for 18 years - from 1992 to 2010. Before him, the chairman of the Moscow City Council of People's Deputies from April 1990 to June 1991 was Gavriil Popov. From June 1991 to June 1992, Popov held the officially established position of mayor. In January 1992, in agreement with Popov, Luzhkov reformed the structure of the Moscow government and formed a “government of economic reforms.” On June 6, 1992, after Popov resigned, Luzhkov was appointed head of the executive branch - mayor of Moscow, who retained the post of head of the city government.
Among previous capital mayors, Vladimir Promyslov broke Luzhkov’s record for holding this post. He served as chairman of the executive committee of the Moscow City Council of People's Deputies for 22 years - from March 1963 to December 1985. Then, from January 1986 to April 1990, Moscow was led by Valery Saikin.
Luzhkov learned about his resignation at work
According to Interfax, on Tuesday Luzhkov arrived at work at the capital's mayor's office at about 7:50. At his workplace, Luzhkov learned the news that by presidential decree he had been removed from his duties as mayor of the city. According to the agency, City Hall officials who arrived at work on Tuesday morning were “in slight shock and prostration.” The decree of the Russian President, published by news agencies, is circulating around.
Earlier it was reported that according to the working schedule of the Moscow mayor, the next meeting of the Moscow government should take place, scheduled for 10:00. Prior to this, the subordinates of the capital's mayor, his friends, and deputies of the Moscow City Duma intended to congratulate the mayor on his birthday, which Luzhkov celebrated in Austria on September 21.
As it became known, the meeting of the capital’s government will be held as planned, its agenda will not change. On Tuesday, the capital's government plans to consider the draft law "On subsoil use in the city of Moscow" and the program to promote employment in the capital for 2011. The event will be hosted by the acting mayor of Moscow, Vladimir Resin. As a source in the mayor's office suggested, perhaps before the start of the meeting of the capital's government, Yuri Mikhailovich will want to say goodbye to those with whom he worked on the same team for 18 years.
Chronicle of the information war against Luzhkov
The information war against Luzhkov began in the media in early September. Then the NTV channel aired the film “The Case in the Cap,” in which Sergei Dorenko, editor-in-chief of the Russian News Service radio station, was one of Luzhkov’s main critics. Back in 1999, Dorenko published a series of revelations about the leaders of the Fatherland - All Russia electoral bloc, among whom was Luzhkov.
The film “The Case in the Cap” talked about the connection between the business of Luzhkov’s wife Elena Baturina and the Moscow government, about Luzhkov’s material interest in the construction of a highway through the Khimki forest, the authors did not ignore Luzhkov’s ardent passion for beekeeping. The film told how the mayor saved his bees during the smog this summer. It later turned out that the clumsily made film was edited just 24 hours after the TV channel received an urgent order for it.
On September 11, NTV continued the attack by showing a story about Luzhkov in the Maximum program. The program talked about the company of Elena Baturina and the reconstruction of the legendary sculpture “Worker and Collective Farm Woman”.
On September 12, NTV showed two more programs criticizing Luzhkov and the mayor's office he heads. In "Emergency. Weekly Review" there was a story called "A Dog's Tail," which told how city officials were stealing money allocated for stray dogs. In the “Final Program,” politicians dissatisfied with Luzhkov told how Baturina, thanks to her husband, earned her multi-billion dollar fortune.
On the same day, the anti-Luzhkov story was shown by the 24-hour news channel "Russia 24", part of the state holding VGTRK. The report talked about the demolition of architectural monuments in Moscow under the pretext of reconstruction. A critical story was also released as part of the “Time” program on “First”.
Before Luzhkov went on vacation, viewers were shown the film “Dear Elena Nikolaevna” on NTV. Oddly enough, the creators never unequivocally linked the enormous personal fortune of the richest woman in Russia with the influence of Luzhkov.
Luzhkov himself called these television stories “dirt” and announced his intention to sue their creators. The mayor assured that he would not leave his post, but the Kremlin immediately reminded him that this issue was within the competence of the Russian President. A public opinion poll showed that Luzhkov's rating began to rapidly fall. As it turned out, 19.5% of participants in the Levada Center survey trust Luzhkov to one degree or another, and almost 54% do not trust him.
Only the capital's TVC channel stood up for the disgraced mayor of Moscow - the program "Postscript" showed a story dedicated to the achievements of the Moscow mayor.
Luzhkov Yuri Mikhailovich was born on September 21, 1936 in Moscow, USSR. Russian statesman and political figure. Mayor of the Russian capital, Moscow (from 1992 to 2010).

At the institute, he was actively involved in Komsomol work and organized public events.
In 1954, he worked in the first student detachment that developed virgin lands in Kazakhstan, and received the medal “For the development of virgin lands.” Luzhkov recalls that he often gave this medal to his friends who wanted to show off their award to a girl or impress the teacher taking the exam.

Family friend, billionaire Yuri Gekht tells
- says family friend, billionaire Yuri Gekht
Why aren't criminal cases brought against LUZHKOV? - Vladimir PUTIN was asked at one of the recent press conferences.
It's too early. And why do you think that there is nothing about Luzhkov? - the president answered slyly...
The trial of the ex-mayor of Moscow and his cunning@opoy Millions of people are looking forward to their spouse. And among them, of course, Yuri GEKHT is a friend of his youth and a former accomplice of Yuri Mikhailovich, and now his irreconcilable enemy. Hecht was once a member of the Supreme Economic Council under the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation and a major bourgeois. And now he is a simple Israeli pensioner and, in fact, a criminal wanted by Interpol.
On the eve of Elena Nikolaevna’s anniversary (she will turn fifty dollars on March 8), Yuri Hekht was visited in the Promised Land by the special correspondent of Express Gazeta.
I've always stood up for Luzhkova, - Yuri Georgievich assures. - Even in 1993, when angry deputies wanted to remove him from the post of mayor. The capital was then writhing in dirt and poverty! At a meeting of the Presidium of the Supreme Council, I managed to repel Luzhkov. In fact, he is a strong business executive. Everything that happened to him later was the fault of the seasoned boor Elena Baturina. Previous wife - Marina Bashilova, daughter of the first deputy minister of the chemical industry of the USSR, was created by Luzhkova. And this matron made Yura the founder of corruption in Russia! For example, I was personally present when Luzhkov bought land in Sochi for next to nothing...
According to Hechta Having come to power, Luzhkov made him his confidant. Out of gratitude to his old friend, he had to grit his teeth and endure communication with his eccentric wife.
Betrayal
I not only had access to the house, but also personally arranged for Baturina to go to the best Moscow maternity hospital named after Grauerman! - Hecht remembers. - Due to her young age, she was terribly afraid of the first birth. A week later, I gave Elena a watch for 300 dollars - then it was a decent amount - as a present for the newborn. Baturina had never tried on such elegant things: she ran around with a watch like a child. In those years, there were no imported goods in stores, and I often traveled abroad. Baturina's girls were dressed and shoed. I also kept in touch with Luzhkov’s children from a previous marriage. But Elena did not let them on the threshold. The younger Alexander could still come to his dad’s work, but the elder Mikhail was afraid. Elena arranged this for her husband! Misha took his father's betrayal seriously. Started drinking. Of course, Luzhkov did not like this. (My son, by the way, worked in the gas industry, and as soon as Luzhkov was removed, he was also asked.)
It was Hecht, according to him, who persuaded Luzhkov to begin competitive investment in capital real estate.
Luzhkov, having become mayor, did not know what to do, says Hecht. - There is no money, there is devastation, but the city needs to be rebuilt. In June 1992, at the height of Gaidar's all-consuming reform, I proposed to him the idea of private investment in construction. Yura doubted: “Who will go? Such a risk! I say: “I am!” And he was the first to take part in a competition to invest in the construction of two prestigious buildings in the capital.
Yuri Gekht proudly calls himself a “hereditary papermaker” - since 1740, his ancestors have been producing paper. During perestroika he was lucky:
The Ministry of Forestry and Pulp and Paper Industry decided to unite the most backward enterprises in the industry that did not feed themselves. And I was appointed general director of Sokolniki Production Association. It also included the Serpukhov paper mill. In 1987, I rented it, and in ’89 the association was privatized. The ministry allowed me, as director, to receive 49 percent of the shares, the rest remained with the team. But then privatization began according to Chubais, and everyone who was not too lazy began buying shares from workers right on the streets. By decision of the general meeting, people did not sell to strangers, but trusted me to buy out the remaining shares. Since then, I have often heard whispers behind my back: “The first Soviet billionaire is coming.” But I couldn’t even touch this money, I never used the dividends - I directed everything towards the development of production. Now the enterprise has been destroyed, more than a thousand people have been laid off. Only one paper mill in Vladimir is operating, and the Serpukhov mill was captured by raiders...
Sperm
Luzhkov was afraid of his wife like fire, - says Yuri Georgievich. - He pulled me home every Saturday. Somehow we were sitting with them Tsereteli. It's almost midnight and he won't let us go. We understand: another scandal is brewing. Elena comes out in a hastily wrapped robe and says: “It’s time to go to bed!” Yuri doesn't react. Then she comes up, takes off her slipper and slaps him on his bald head!
And what did you do at the Queen’s reception in 2004 in London? Just came to power Tony Blair. Everyone has gathered, we are sitting and waiting for Baturina. Yuri is running around, nervous. Finally, Elena enters the hotel with a racket. Luzhkov: “Lena, the queen is waiting for us!” - “Nothing, he’ll wait.” Seven minutes later, Yuri jumps out into the hall in red spots: “We’re going without her!”
In the USA, in a shopping center, Elena suddenly shouted at Luzhkov so loudly to the whole audience that the whole delegation of us burned with shame. And in Munich she went to a horse farm. There she was given the sperm of one of the best stallions. She immediately hid the priceless flask at the hotel, but when she began to pack her things to leave, she could not find it. City Hall employee Vladimir Lebedev offered to check her suitcase, but she became furious and slapped the young man several times. In Moscow, after a customs inspection, we decided to see if all the things were in place, and we found a flask with sperm in her suitcase!
Boorish
Hecht had a serious conflict with Baturina in 2004 in the office of the first deputy mayor Vladimir Resin, who oversaw the construction.
There I learned: Lena wanted three old residential buildings near the Arbatskaya metro station, which belonged to me. (Now owned by Telman Ismailov.) I wanted to build a hotel on this land. I evicted 240 families, talked to each tenant personally - I didn’t receive a single complaint. Invested $23 million in the facility. But after the default, I couldn’t start construction. I understand: there is a formal reason to find fault, Lena will not back down. I agreed to sign an agreement on the transfer of objects, but only on condition of payment of compensation: “Lena, return what you spent!” But she told Resin: “Let his friend Luzhkov compensate him.” I couldn’t resist and hit the table with my fist: “You’re just a village boor!” Luzhkov first tried to help me out. But Baturina stood her ground. As a result, she brought contracts for the purchase of all objects, and the amount of compensation was 50 thousand rubles! Realizing that I would not sign, he and Resin offered me three dilapidated buildings on Arbat: garbage dumps bought by Caucasians that needed to be resettled. Even 150 million dollars would not be enough for me! I came to Resin and said: “Am I now going to resettle all of Moscow at my own expense?” He said that I would not sign the agreement until it stipulated that the eviction would be carried out at the expense of Moscow. But Luzhkov betrayed me and did not sign.
Setup
In 2004, Hecht suffered from severe kidney problems, and he decided to receive treatment in Israel.
And shortly before leaving, three people close to Luzhkov warned that an attempt was being prepared on my life, - says Yuri Georgievich. - The vice mayor was the first to call Joseph Ordzhonikidze- he oversaw the hotel and gambling business. He started talking about some nonsense. I told him: “Did you call me for this?” Suddenly he gets up from his chair and whispers: “Yura, leave immediately, I beg you!”
Events were not long in coming. First, Hecht had an accident: a truck blocked the way for his car. Hecht and the driver miraculously survived:
Soon I was accused of kidnapping a person, a certain Vladimir Baryshnikov-Kuparenko, who was supposed to deliver German equipment to my factory, but deceived me: the equipment did not arrive on time. I punched this Baryshnikov in the face and threatened to terminate the contract and collect the amount paid to him and damages. This scoundrel saw on my table the magazine “Kompromat.RU”, in the creation of which I participated. The latest issue described in detail how Baturina received land plots for construction without competition and how budget funds were transferred through Mosbusinessbank and Bank of Moscow to finance her ventures. Baryshnikov decided to take advantage of my conflict with Baturina and went to see her with this magazine. Elena immediately bought the entire circulation, and they developed a scheme to eliminate me from the market.
According to Hecht, the operation was supervised by the former chief of the Moscow police, Colonel General Vladimir Pronin.
Baryshnikov staged his kidnapping, - explains Yuri Georgievich, - allegedly carried out on my order. He imitated an escape from my office, where the kidnappers allegedly locked him for Saturday-Sunday, and he supposedly went into the toilet, climbed out through the window and arrived by taxi to the reception of the mayor of Moscow, and then turned to law enforcement agencies with a statement. On the basis of this nonsense, they arrested the athletes with whom I was seen in the restaurant in the evening after the competition - I supervised sports in Serpukhov. They were made the perpetrators of this pseudo-kidnapping. They gave me eight years. I did my best to get them out. They were released after two years for a huge bribe.
After a successful kidney transplant operation, Yuri Georgievich found hope of returning to Russia.
“I’m not hiding,” says the exile. - I correspond with Interpol, but everyone is “looking” for me. I was denied a Russian pension and a Russian international passport, despite court confirmation that I am a Russian citizen. Through Telman Ismailov, Baturina took all my property. I haven’t communicated with Luzhkov since then - it’s useless: he, in fact, became her hostage. But I must return to Russia to prove my innocence. The only thing I ask the president Putin and premiere Medvedev, - to give me the opportunity to personally participate in the investigation of a criminal case.
Former Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov died at the age of 84. The news of the death was reported by Russian Interfax, citing a source close to Luzhkov. Later, the current mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, confirmed this on Twitter.
Another Russian resource, REN, writes that the ex-mayor of Moscow underwent heart surgery in Munich - and he did not survive it.
Yuri Luzhkov served as mayor of Moscow for 18 years until 2010. He was removed from office early by President Dmitry Medvedev due to the fact that he had lost the confidence of the president.
We can talk about the period of Luzhkov's rule for hours. But, despite the fact that many did not like his policies during his work, Moscow gained authority on a global scale. The city became the financial center of Russia. During Luzhkov's reign, the monorail, the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Ring were built. The Bolshoi Theater, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Manege were also restored.
Luzhkov was born in Moscow, graduated from the local Institute of Oil and Gas (mechanical engineer), worked at the Plastics Research Institute and the USSR Ministry of Chemical Industry. In 1977, he was elected to the Moscow City Council, where he remained until 1990. He was also a deputy of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR (1987-1990).
Luzhkov became the second mayor of Moscow after Gavriil Popov and was in the chair of the mayor of the Russian capital for a record 18 years - from 1992 to 2010. In 2010, then-President Dmitry Medvedev dismissed him “due to loss of trust.”

On the afternoon of Friday, December 23, the media reported the emergency hospitalization of former Moscow mayor Yuri. According to Life, he fainted while visiting the fundamental library. According to the publication, the former mayor of Moscow took a potent drug for a long time, after which he had an attack. Eyewitnesses called an ambulance for Luzhkov, after which the ex-mayor was taken to one of the city hospitals.
Yuri Luzhkov himself some time later called the rumors about his clinical death “grossly exaggerated.” “All this talk about clinical death is complete nonsense and untrue,” Luzhkov reports.
He noted that doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia caused by a viral infection. “I was given a full examination, the diagnosis and treatment are clear. In a day or two, I hope to leave the hospital and attend my friend’s concert,” the ex-mayor of Moscow emphasized.
According to Luzhkov, he does not intend to stay in the hospital for a long time, nor does he intend to interrupt his work due to illness, since there are few working days left until the end of the year.
“I’m going to celebrate the New Year with my family at a ski resort in Austria,”
Let us note that this is not the first time that Luzhkov has had health problems. In his column dedicated to the September 2014 issue of Woman, Luzhkov recalled how he had an operation more than 15 years ago: “I wake up after anesthesia and don’t know why (and I don’t know English that well), while still in full fog, I immediately ask: “Ver from my wife?” (“Where is my wife?” - Gazeta.Ru). The doctors were very surprised."
Yuri Luzhkov was born on September 21, 1936 in Moscow into the family of a carpenter. In 1991, in the first elections of the mayor of Moscow, he was elected vice-mayor, and in 1992, when the mayor resigned, he became mayor. During the management of the city, it became practically one of the symbols of the capital, at the same time giving rise to a number of concepts like the “Luzhkov style of architecture.” Luzhkov resigned from his post in 2010 “due to loss of trust.” The decision on this was made by the then president.
A chemist by training, Luzhkov, among other things, was ironically considered a symbol of the Russian patent system. He had more than a hundred inventions in 14 areas of our life: from energy to the chemical industry - the list of 123 inventions includes a recipe for whipped milk, kvass and fruit drink, and an extendable nozzle for a rocket engine, and even a beehive.
On September 21, 2016, on Luzhkov’s 80th birthday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree awarding Luzhkov the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree, “for active social activities,” which became a symbol of forgiveness. Luzhkov then commented on this award: “This award... is very important to me. Because it is also a certain symbol of return from the timelessness in which I was immersed several years ago.” And, answering questions from journalists, he supplemented his statement with the words that
the reward also means “the end of disgrace” for him.
He celebrated his 80th birthday this year with a cleanup event in Kolomenskoye Park, where 450 apple, pear and cherry trees were planted. As the ex-mayor told Gazeta.Ru, the event was organized by his wife Elena Baturina.
“I didn’t even know about the organization of this cleanup. It was my wife’s idea, she secretly arranged a meeting with me, and he actively, kindly, supported the idea of this cleanup, which is different from all these anniversaries and weddings of the glamorous and vulgar type. He said that this could even be some new example for people to celebrate some of their events with good deeds,” Luzhkov said on the eve of his birthday. Let us note that the current city authorities agreed to hold this mass event, but did not recommend that the park advertise the event.
And less than a year ago, the ex-mayor got married to his wife Elena Baturina. When asked what prompted the couple to get married, the ex-mayor answered Gazeta.Ru: “We want to be together in the next world.”
