Where is the former mayor of Luzhkov now? Yuri Luzhkov: What makes me work? Nonsense

Yuri Luzhkov ceased to hold the post of mayor of the capital and went on a well-deserved rest, so to speak, he finally became a pensioner. However, the question of where Luzhkov lives interested and continues to excite the minds of not only Muscovites, but also Russians; nevertheless, he is far from the last figure.

Answering this question, it is worth noting that he has not lived in stuffy Moscow for a long time, and why should he, if he has a Molodenovo residence with 49 hectares of land. This facility is located 20 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road along Rublevskoye Highway, so it’s just a stone’s throw from the capital’s post.

Yuri Luzhkov lives in his residence with his many relatives. It should be noted that the Luzhkov house is located in beautiful pine and spruce forest. So the air there is excellent. It is not surprising that he exchanged the noisy metropolis for such a house.

Russians may read completely different assumptions. Someone says that the former mayor lives in Sochi and flies to Moscow on a private plane. Luzhkov's house can be found using the White Pages of Moscow. If you type Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov, then there is one candidate on the list whose date of birth coincides with the former mayor of the capital. Other sources say that he lives in a new luxury club-type house.

IN Luzhkov's real estate two plots of land can be attributed. One is located in the Moscow region with a total area of ​​0.16 hectares, the other in the Kaluga region with an area of ​​0.21 hectares. In addition, the former mayor of Moscow has a house in the Kaluga region of 62 sq.m. In the Moscow region there is a dacha with an area of ​​417 sq.m. Luzhkov also owns a garage and a dacha. Besides

Official data says that Yuri Luzhkov never bought himself an apartment in the capital. Besides that, he doesn’t even have a car, but he has a vehicle with the complex name of a mini-moto-all-terrain vehicle. But do not forget that such ranks have official transport, which can easily and without traffic jams take you to any point.

In addition, Luzhkov's house in Austria is a luxurious villa located in Kitzbühel, a small resort town with 8 thousand inhabitants.

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 confidence.” 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.”

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 his administration 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 technological process automation laboratory. 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 Yevgeny Primakov, took the helm of the Fatherland political party. 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” did not leave the pages of the press, online media and television screens for a long time.

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 the last years of his life, 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.

Despite the fact that Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov has not been the mayor of the Russian capital for several years, his name, nevertheless, continues to be associated with Moscow. It was under him that during the 18 years of his reign it reached its greatest prosperity. Why did he leave this post? Yuri Luzhkov was removed from his post by order of the current Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2010. The reason given was: “Due to loss of trust.”

Further in the article we will talk about the childhood, youth, activities of the former mayor of the capital of the Russian Federation and try to figure out what caused this “mistrust”. In addition, we think you will be interested to know what Yuri Luzhkov is doing today, where he lives now and what he does. Of course, another person of his age would have sat quietly in his dacha, fished, or traveled the world, enjoying the years God had given him. However, the former mayor of Moscow is not made of such stuff. He can’t spend a day without work, he’s such a workaholic.

Yuri Luzhkov, biography: the beginning

The future mayor of Moscow was born in the capital of the USSR in 1936 into the family of carpenter Mikhail Luzhkov. From time immemorial, my father’s ancestors lived in the Tver province, in the village of Luzhkovo, which is now not on the map. Yuri’s parents met near Tver at the Novy Trud plant. Mom was a native of Bashkortostan and worked as a laborer. They soon got married, and when the woman became pregnant, the young family moved to Moscow to escape hunger. Here my father got a job at an oil depot. Then Yuri was born, and when he grew up a little, he was sent to his grandmother in Konotop.

Education

There he graduated from the seven-year school and returned to Moscow to his parents for further studies. He studied in grades 8-10 at Moscow school No. 529, after which he entered the Gubkin Institute of Petrochemical and Gas Industry. In parallel with his studies, Yuri Luzhkov worked first as a janitor and then as a loader. Naturally, he did not have time to study perfectly, but he was a hardworking and diligent Komsomol member, a skillful organizer of various student events. In 1954, he enrolled in a student detachment that went to Kazakhstan to explore virgin lands.

Working career

The life of Yuri Luzhkov after returning from Central Asia, where he stayed for about 4 years, took a scientific path. He received a position as a junior researcher at the Plastics Research Institute. After working here for 5 years, he climbed the career ladder to the post of deputy head of a laboratory that dealt with the automation of technological processes. In parallel with his work, he was actively involved in social and political activities and headed the Komsomol cell of the institute. In this new position, he was noticed by the State Committee on Chemistry, and a few years later he became the head of the entire automation department. In the same 1968, he joined the ranks of the CPSU. A few more years passed, and now Yuri Luzhkov already holds the post of head of the control automation department at the Ministry of Chemical Industry of the Soviet Union.

Political activity

In 1975, Yuri Mikhailovich was elected as a people's deputy of the Babushkinsky District Council, and in 1977 - as a deputy of the Moscow City Council. In 1987, at the height of perestroika, he was elected as a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, and immediately joined the team of Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin, the First Secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party of the USSR. Having proven himself in this field, he was appointed First Deputy Chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee. At that time, the number of cooperatives in the country was growing every day, and at the same time he headed the commission for individual and cooperative activities, and then received the post of chairman of the agro-industrial committee of the capital

Towards a cherished dream

In 1990, the chairman of the Moscow City Council, Gavriil Popov, on the recommendation of Boris Yeltsin, nominated Yu. M. Luzhkov for the post of head of the capital's city executive committee, and in 1991 he was elected vice-mayor, that is, Popov's deputy, and then prime minister of the Moscow government - the new executive body . During the famous events of 1991, he and his pregnant wife were active participants in the defense of the White House.

Mayor of Moscow

In 1992, coupons were introduced throughout the country, and Moscow was no exception, due to spontaneous food shortages. Naturally, this led to discontent among the population. People poured into the streets, and the current mayor, Gavriil Popov, announced his resignation. The giant city was left without a leader, and then, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation B. Yeltsin, Yuri Luzhkov became the new mayor of the capital. This, perhaps, became the most significant event of his life, because for the next 18 years the fate of one of the largest cities in the world was in his hands. He was re-elected to this post 3 times, and always with a huge margin over other candidates - his competitors. Everyone at the top knew and felt that Luzhkov was being patronized by Yeltsin himself. And he, in turn, always supported the president. He was among the founders of the NDR party “Our Home is Russia”, and in 1995 he was involved in promoting it in the elections to the People’s Duma.

Treason or political games?

In 1999, in the last year of the 2nd millennium, Yuri Luzhkov suddenly changed his position regarding the president of the country and teamed up with Primakov. They created the Fatherland political party, criticized Boris Nikolaevich and demanded his early resignation. By this time, Luzhkov was already a member of the Federation Council and was a member of the most important committees on financial regulation, taxes, banking, etc. In 2001, another party appeared in his life - “United Russia”. And Yuri Mikhailovich, two years ago one of the leaders of the Fatherland party, becomes its co-chairman. Since then, the main focus of his activities has been supporting Vladimir Putin. And he, for his part, patronized the mayor in every possible way, and even personally presented Luzhkov’s candidacy to the Moscow City Duma deputies as mayor of the capital. Well, who could go against the president of the country, and Yuri Mikhailovich again headed the leadership of Moscow for another 4 years.

Removal from the post of mayor

In the fall of 2010, during the reign of Dmitry Medvedev, documentaries critical of Luzhkov’s activities as mayor suddenly appeared on several central TV channels. Of course, this surprised many in the country, because for many years he was under the auspices of Putin, and now they are gone! Yuri Luzhkov was indignant and wrote a letter addressed to the president of the country, where he expressed dissatisfaction with Medvedev’s inaction in connection with the appearance of such slanderous and compromising programs. The subsequent actions of the president came as a surprise to the mayor of Moscow. Luzhkov was removed from office according to Medvedev's decree, citing lack of confidence in him as the reasons. Of course, for Yuri Mikhailovich this was a strong blow, but not fatal.

Personal life

Luzhkov Yuri Mikhailovich was married three times. He met his first wife Alevtina at the institute. They had a student wedding, got a room in a dorm, but soon both realized that they were in a hurry to formalize the relationship and filed for divorce. Alevtina did not have time to give birth to children, so they parted quietly and peacefully.

His second wife Marina Bashilova was also his classmate. As you can see, Luzhkov enjoyed the favor of women, and maybe he knew how to properly care for him?! Nevertheless, this marriage, apparently, was “of convenience,” because the future father-in-law, Mikhail Bashilov, was a prominent party and economic figure, and soon after that he became the Deputy Minister of the Petrochemical Industry of the USSR. It is precisely the area where Luzhkov was able to make such a dizzying career. Yuri Luzhkov's second family was very strong. Marina bore him two sons - Mikhail and Alexander, but in 1988 she fell ill with liver cancer and passed away, leaving Luzhkov a widower.

For the third time he married Elena Baturina. For several years now she has been the richest woman in Russia according to Forbes magazine. She bore him two daughters - Olya and Lena. They were educated in the UK and today are accomplished "businesswomen". After 25 years of marriage, Baturina and Luzhkov walked down the aisle in January 2016.

Luzhkov Yuri Mikhailovich: where is he now?

Luzhkov did not go abroad, as many people think. He still lives in his native country and, despite his advanced age, is engaged in business. Surely you will be interested to know how old Yuri Luzhkov is now? In the fall of 2016, he solemnly celebrated his anniversary - 80 years. On this day, she and Elena Baturina took part in a cleanup event, during which 450 fruit trees were planted in the Kolomenskoye Nature Reserve. The event was attended by the most powerful and wealthy people in the country. There is no information about whether Vladimir Vladimirovich was among the guests. However, the day before this significant date, he awarded the former mayor the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 4th degree.

But on the eve of the New Year holidays, trouble happened to Luzhkov. He arrived at the Moscow State University library, and suddenly, in the presence of rector Sadovnichy, his health worsened. I had to call an ambulance. There are rumors that he experienced clinical death that day, but his press secretary does not confirm this information.

But in January 2017, an article appeared in the press about the ex-mayor’s new enterprise for the production of buckwheat and cheese. Such a restless workaholic is Yuri Luzhkov - “the man with the cap,” as Muscovites called him.
