In parallel, Yuri Luzhkov worked at first the janitor first, and then the loader. Naturally, he did not have time to study on perfectly, but was a hardworking and a diligent Komsomol, who skilled the organizer of various student events.

In 1990, Chairman of the Moscow City Council of Gabriel Popov, on the recommendation of Boris Yeltsin, put forward Yu. M. Luzhkov for the post of head of the city executive committee, and in 1991 he was chosen by the vice-mayor, that is, the Deputy Popova, and then the premiere of the Moscow Government - a new executive body . With the well-known events of 1991, he and his pregnant wife were active participants in the defense of the White House.

Mayor of Moscow

In 1992 throughout the country, and Moscow is no exception, due to the natural interruptions with the products, coupons began to be introduced. Naturally, it led to dissatisfaction among the population. The people fell into the streets, and the operating mayor of Gabriel Popov declared his resignation. The giant city remained without a manager, and then by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation B. Yeltsin, Yuri Luzhkov became a new mayor of the capital. This, perhaps, became the most significant event of his life, because the next 18 years the fate of one of the largest cities of the world was in his hands. In this post, he re-elected 3 times, and always with a huge margin from other candidates - its competitors. In the top everyone knew, and they felt that Yeltsin himself patronize Luzhkov.

And Yuri Mikhailovich, two years ago one of the leaders of the party "Fatherland", becomes its co-chair. Since then, the main focus of his activity was the support of Vladimir Putin. And the one, for his part, in every way leaked mayor, and even independently presented the candidacy of Luzhkov to the deputies of the Moscow City Duma as the 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.

Displacement

In the fall of 2010, during the reign of Dmitry Medvedev, suddenly the documentary films criticized by Luzhkov as a mayor came out on several of the central TV channels.

They played a student wedding, got a room in a hostel, but they soon understood that they were hurried to arrange relationships and filed a divorce. He did not have time to give birth to hes at Alevtina, so they broke up quietly and peacefully.

The second wife Marina Bashilova was also his classmate. As you can see, Luzhkov used the favor of women, and maybe I knew how to carefully care?! Nevertheless, this marriage, apparently, was "by calculating", because the future father-in-law, Mikhail Bashilov, was a prominent party and economic figure, and soon after that he was the Deputy Minister of the Petrochemical Industry of the USSR. It is the sphere where Luzhkov was able to make such a dizzying career. The second family of Yuri Luzhkov was very strong.
