Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov was born on September 21, 1936 in Moscow into the family of a carpenter. In 1958, Luzhkov graduated from the Moscow Institute of Oil, Gas and Chemical Industry named after Gubkin. While studying, he worked part-time as a janitor and traveled to virgin lands as part of a student detachment.

From 1958 to 1963, Luzhkov worked on assignment at the Research Institute of Plastics; in 1964, he went to work at the USSR Ministry of Chemical Industry, where until 1974 he was the head of the department. In 1968, Luzhkov joined the CPSU and remained a member until 1991.

From 1974 to 1980, Luzhkov was director of the experimental design bureau for automation at the Ministry of Chemical Industry. In 1980, he was appointed general director of the Neftekhimavtomatika research and production association, after which he returned to the ministry. From 1986 to 1987, Luzhkov was head of the department of science and technology and a member of the ministerial board.

In 1975, Luzhkov was elected as a people's deputy of the Babushkinsky District Council of Moscow, and from 1977 to 1990 he was a deputy of the Moscow City Council. Luzhkov was also elected as a deputy of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR of the 11th convocation (from 1987 to 1990). In 1987, he moved from the ministry to the city executive authorities, becoming first deputy chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee and chairman of the Moscow City Agro-Industrial Committee. Since 1987, Luzhkov led the city commission on cooperative and individual labor activities.

From 1990 to 1991, Luzhkov was chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee. In June 1991, Gavriil Popov and Luzhkov ran for the positions of mayor and vice mayor. Luzhkov held the post of vice mayor from 1991 to 1992. In July 1991, he became prime minister of the Moscow city government, formed on the basis of the Moscow City Executive Committee.

In August 1991, Luzhkov was one of the organizers of the defense of the White House. On August 24, 1991, he was appointed one of the deputy chairmen of the Committee for the Operational Management of the National Economy of the USSR, created in place of the Union Council of Ministers and subsequently disbanded during the liquidation of the USSR in December.

In June 1992, after Popov's resignation, by decree of President Boris Yeltsin, Luzhkov was appointed mayor of Moscow. He was subsequently elected to this post in 1996, 1999 and 2003.

Since 1993, Luzhkov has actively advocated the establishment of mandatory registration of visitors in Moscow. He launched large-scale construction in the city, including the demolition of dilapidated housing ("Khrushchev" five-story buildings) and the construction of new ones, the construction of the Third Transport Ring, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, a shopping complex on Manezhnaya Square and other objects, the demolition of a number of hotels in the center of the capital, the construction of a business center Moscow City.

In 1998, Luzhkov created the socio-political organization Fatherland and announced his intention to run for president. In 1999, Fatherland merged with the All Russia bloc. The new OVR bloc, led by Yevgeny Primakov, took third place in the 1999 parliamentary elections. Subsequently, the OVR merged with the pro-Putin Unity bloc into a new organization - United Russia.

In February 1999, by decree of Luzhkov, on the basis of the Central Fuel Company (CTK), which was controlled by the Moscow government and was designed to provide the capital with oil products, the Moscow oil company(MNC). In 2003, it was transformed into OJSC Moscow Oil and Gas Company (MNGK), in which the mayor took the post of chairman of the board of directors.

Luzhkov's independence in decision-making caused dissatisfaction in the Kremlin, and in 2005 observers began to talk about the beginning of the ousting of the mayor's team from Moscow. However, in June 2007, Putin submitted Luzhkov’s candidacy to the Moscow City Duma for approval for a fifth term, and on June 27, deputies confirmed Luzhkov’s powers as mayor of the capital. On July 6, 2007, Luzhkov officially took office for the fifth time.

In October 2007, Luzhkov headed the regional list of candidates for deputies from " United Russia"in Moscow during the elections State Duma RF fifth convocation. After the party's victory, he, as expected, refused his deputy mandate.

On September 28, 2010, after a two-week campaign on federal television, during which the actions of the capital's mayor were sharply criticized, Luzhkov was removed from office by decree of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev due to the “loss of trust” of the head of state. On the same day it became known that the leadership of United Russia had received Luzhkov's statement about leaving the party.

In October 2010, Luzhkov became dean of the faculty of management of large cities at the International University in Moscow.

Luzhkov was awarded the Order of Lenin, the Red Banner of Labor, "For Services to the Fatherland", medals, and a Government Certificate of Honor Russian Federation. He is a laureate of the USSR State Prize and holder of the titles "Honorary Chemist of the USSR" and "Honored Chemist of the RSFSR".

Luzhkov is married for the third time to Elena Baturina.

Not only the mayoral Luzhkov, but also his family, who was forced to leave abroad, suffered from the swift decision of the country’s leader and subsequent not very pleasant events. The wife, having suddenly ceased to be one of the richest ladies in the world and the head of a huge Russian holding company, focused her attention on her student daughters. And also on the management of a large chain of hotels located, designed and proposed for construction in Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, the Baltic States, Russia (St. Petersburg) and the Czech Republic.

By the way, Baturina’s first hotel was the Grand Tyrolia Hotel, built in 2009 in Kitzbühel, Austria and costing about 40 million euros. It is in Kitzbühel that Elena Nikolaevna’s headquarters is located. In total, by the end of 2015, it intends to own 14 hotels on the continent.

The Grand Tirolia Hotel hosts the traditional Laureus Award ceremony every 12 months. She is often called the “Oscar” of international sports journalism.

"Emigrant" Luzhkov

Yuri Mikhailovich himself, when meeting with journalists, regularly complains that he has been molded into some kind of reclusive emigrant: they say, he does not appear either in Moscow or even in Russia. How he supports himself and his family is unknown. In fact, the recent head of the capital lives, works and fundamentally does not engage in any political activity in three at once - in England, where his daughters study, in Austria, where the main office of the Luzhkov-Baturina family is located, and in Russia. And not only in Moscow, but also in the Kaliningrad region.

There, the former mayor and his wife, who once headed the country’s equestrian federation, created a real livestock complex on the basis of a German stud farm that collapsed in the 90s and breed sports horses. They also raise “Romanov” sheep, famous for their selected wool. During the Great Patriotic War, very warm and durable soldiers' sheepskin coats were made from this wool.

That is, Yuri Mikhailovich’s wife is only investing in her husband’s project, which is still far from profitable. But Luzhkov himself not only organizes and controls a very complex agricultural process on five thousand hectares and with the participation of one hundred people, but also takes an active part in it - at the helm of a German combine. And is very proud to have been included as a foreign member of the English Sheep Breeders' Union.

Daughters: from Moscow State University to UCL

In Russia, Elena and Olga Luzhkov studied at the most prestigious metropolitan gymnasiums and language schools. So, after their father’s disgrace, they clearly had no problems with a quick transfer from Moscow State University to UCL, University College London, and later admission to the university.

Elena Luzhkova started her own business in parallel with her studies. In the Slovak capital Bratislava, she created a company called Alener, which deals with perfumes and cosmetics.

However, according to Luzhkov Sr., he does not intend to control the life and studies of his daughters. He also understands the sad fact that his wife is forced to often visit and even live in London, and not next to him.

Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov is the ex-mayor of Moscow. He held this post for 18 years: from 1992 to 2010. He was removed from his post early with the wording “due to loss of confidence” by order of President Dmitry Medvedev.

The period of Luzhkov's mayorship can be discussed for hours. But it is impossible not to admit that during the period of his leadership, the capital acquired authority on a federal and global scale, Moscow turned into the financial center of Russia, and the urban planning scope of the mayor was amazing - on his initiative, the city acquired a monorail road, the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Ring, and the coverage of the metro was expanded , emergency five-story buildings were resettled, the Manege, the Bolshoi Theater, and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior were restored - and this is only a small part of Luzhkov’s ambitious projects.

Childhood, family, education

Yuri Luzhkov was born into the family of a carpenter on September 21, 1936. Shortly before his birth, his father, fleeing hunger, moved from the village of Molodoy Tud, near Tver, to Moscow, where he got a job at an oil depot. His mother, a native of the Bashkortostan village of Kalegino, was a laborer at a factory in the capital.

Yuri spent his childhood with his grandmother in the city of Konotop, graduated from the seven-year school there and returned to his parents in 1953. He finished grades 8-10 in Moscow, at school No. 529 (now No. 1259). Having entered the Moscow Institute of Petrochemical and Gas Industry named after. Gubkin, he began to earn money on his own. He worked as a loader at a station and as a janitor.

He did not excel in his studies, but he was a diligent and hardworking Komsomol member, and was also known as a skillful organizer of public events. In 1954, together with one of the first student teams, he went to explore the virgin lands in Kazakhstan.

Scientific and political career

Yuri Luzhkov began his career as a junior researcher at the Plastics Research Institute, where he joined in 1958. Over five years of work at the research institute, he rose to the rank of deputy head of the automation laboratory technological processes. The young scientist was noticed by the State Committee on Chemistry, and in 1964 Luzhkov headed its control automation department.

In 1971, Yuri Mikhailovich already headed a similar department in the USSR Ministry of Chemical Industry. As he climbed the career ladder, Luzhkov did not forget about his Komsomol duty: in 1968 he joined the Communist Party, in 1975 he became a people’s deputy of the Babushkinsky district council, in 1977 he became a deputy of the Moscow council.

As a deputy of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR of the 11th convocation from 1987 to 1990, Yuri Mikhailovich was among the “fresh personnel” whom the First Secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin included in his team. So, in 1987, 51-year-old Luzhkov was appointed First Deputy Chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee. At the same time, he headed the city commission for cooperative and individual activities and took the post of chairman of the Moscow Agro-Industrial Committee.

“New Russian sensations”: “Luzhkov. Chronicles of PensionMER"

In 1990, on the recommendation of Yeltsin, the chairman of the Moscow City Council, Gavriil Popov, the future first mayor of Moscow, nominated Luzhkov to the post of chairman of the City Executive Committee. In 1991, the position of vice-mayor of Moscow was elective, and Yuri Mikhailovich was elected to this position in June of the same year. In July, he became prime minister of the government, a new executive body that replaced the Moscow City Polkom.

The events of August 1991 put Yuri Luzhkov and his pregnant wife in the ranks of the defense of the Government House: they took an active part in all the events and actions of that epoch-making event.

Yuri Luzhkov – Mayor of Moscow

In 1992, spontaneous food shortages began in Moscow, coupons were introduced, and the population was indignant. The current mayor, Gavriil Popov, resigned. On June 6, 1992, by decree of Russian President Boris Yeltsin, Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov was appointed the new mayor of the capital.

This event became significant in his life, because he spent the next 18 years at the head of the capital, being re-elected 3 times (in June 1996, December 1999 with 69% and December 2003 with 74% of the votes) always with a large lead over his competitors. The mayor always played political games on Yeltsin’s side: he supported him in 1993 during the dispersal of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation and the Congress of People’s Deputies, and in 1996 during the presidential campaign; openly approved of military actions in Chechnya, participated in the creation of the “Our Home is Russia” party, and in 1995 promoted it in the Duma elections.

But 1999 led to a split in the strong tandem. Yuri Mikhailovich, together with Evgeny Primakov, took the helm political party"Fatherland". His criticism of the current president and calls for his early resignation were unexpected. The mayor's career did not suffer at all. On the contrary, having become a member of the Federation Council, as the head of a subject of the federation, Luzhkov held significant positions - he was a member of the committee on the budget, currency regulation, tax policy, and banking.

In 2001, Yuri Mikhailovich was elected co-chairman of the United Russia party, and all his activities became aimed at supporting Vladimir Putin. After the election of the post of mayor of Moscow was abolished in June 2007, President Vladimir Putin introduced Luzhkov as a candidate to the deputies of the Moscow City Duma, and the deputies gave him the powers of mayor for another four years.

Sevastopol issue

Yuri Mikhailovich always expressed himself towards Ukraine without proper diplomacy. On May 11, 2008, while visiting the celebrations of the 225th anniversary of the Black Sea Fleet in the city of Sevastopol, Luzhkov from the podium did not forget to remind the audience that the issue of the city’s ownership has not yet been resolved, that Russia has all state rights to its territory.

Yuri Luzhkov about Sevastopol

In addition, criticism was voiced of the “legalization” of UPA-UNSO soldiers and integration into NATO. And finally, he threatened to raise the issue of revising the friendship treaty between the countries with the Russian government.

On May 12, the SBU declared Luzhkov persona non grata, beginning to clarify the circumstances of “provocative statements of a political nature.” And only when Viktor Yanukovych took over as President of Ukraine, this status was removed from Luzhkov.

Dismissal

September 2010 became fatal for Luzhkov. Russian central television channels launched a number of documentaries, where they harshly criticized the mayor’s activities. Business, money, connections of Luzhkov himself and all members of his family were publicly discussed. “Mayhem. Moscow, which we lost”, “It’s about the cap” - they crushed trust and undermined the authority of Yuri Mikhailovich with a merciless steamroller.

2010: Yuri Luzhkov was dismissed from the post of mayor of Moscow

In response to a letter to the president dated September 27, 2010, in which the mayor expressed indignation at the criticism he received on television, Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree “On the early termination of the powers of the mayor of Moscow.” The basis for this decision was the “loss of confidence of the President of the Russian Federation.”

Experts immediately dubbed Luzhkov a victim of Putin’s behind-the-scenes intrigues. Alleging threats against his family, the ex-mayor moved to live in London. Most of Luzhkov's associates were removed from their positions by the new mayor Sergei Sobyanin, and criticism of "Luzhkov's policies" for a long time never left the pages of the press, online media and television screens.

In 2017, the ex-mayor wrote an autobiography in which he honestly spoke about the reasons for his resignation. According to him, he was fired when he refused to support Dmitry Medvedev, who intended to run for a second term.

There was only one real reason: my refusal to support Medvedev in his bid for a second term as president of Russia.

Personal life of Yuri Luzhkov

Yuri Luzhkov formalized his relationship with his first (except for a very short and childless marriage with Alevtina Luzhkova), his classmate Marina Bashilova, in his fifth year at the institute. The girl came from a wealthy family; her father was Deputy Minister of the Petrochemical Industry of the USSR

On December 23, 2016, the media reported the emergency hospitalization of Yuri Luzhkov. He fainted in the Moscow State University library. The mayor was taken immediately to intensive care.

IN last years Yuri Mikhailovich led a non-public lifestyle. On December 10, 2019, the former mayor of the capital passed away. He was 83 years old. According to media reports, he underwent heart surgery in a German clinic, and his wife was nearby. Although the doctors' forecasts were encouraging, and the operation itself was successful, the politician did not recover from anesthesia.

Biography

In June 1992, after Popov's resignation, by decree of President Boris Yeltsin, Luzhkov was appointed mayor of Moscow. He was subsequently elected to this post in 1996, 1999 and 2003.

In February 1999, by decree of Luzhkov, the Moscow Oil Company (MNK) was established on the basis of the Central Fuel Company (CTK), which was controlled by the Moscow government and was designed to provide the capital with petroleum products. In 2003, it was transformed into OJSC Moscow Oil and Gas Company (MNGK), in which the mayor took the post of chairman of the board of directors.

In October 2007, Luzhkov headed the regional list of candidates for deputies from United Russia in Moscow in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the fifth convocation. After the party's victory, he, as expected, refused his deputy mandate.
