	Yuri Luzhkov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luzhkov and his new ally, former prime minister Yevgeniy Primakov, seemed likely to displace both Yeltsin and his inner circle in the parliamentary and presidential elections due to be held in late 1999 and mid-2000, respectively.
		Luzhkov was frequently accused of being too close to major businessmen, including billionaires Vladimir Gusinsky and Vladimir Yevtushenkov, and for conducting allegedly suspicious privatization deals for formerly city-owned property.
		Luzhkov's wife Yelena Baturina is a billionaire, and have noted that the construction and furniture companies she owns receive a large number of lucrative municipal contracts.

		Luzhkov has blundered his way through the continuing debate over how to extricate Russia from its economic debacle, pledging support for both a market economy and vigorous state control and blasting Russian reformers and their Western advisers for pushing Russia to the brink of collapse.
		Luzhkov has his own record to run on -- a record that can boast of ambitious public works projects that have been finished in record time, special benefits for the needy, and a downtown area filled with luxury shops catering to the city's new rich.
		Luzhkov filed -- and won -- numerous libel suits against offending publications, but he is also known to have doled out -- and withheld -- the kind of municipal favors that are often necessary for hard-up publishers to survive.

		Luzhkov won nearly 80 percent of votes cast in the Dec. 7 mayoral contest, according to preliminary results from the balloting, which was held along with elections to the Russia’s lower parliament house.
		Luzhkov was then elected in 1996 and again in 1999, benefiting from the concentration of wealth that has transformed Moscow into a thriving city since the Soviet collapse — a change that is far less striking in many areas outside the capital.
		Luzhkov’s political party later merged with the main pro-Kremlin party, and the mayor is now one of the leaders of the party, now called United Russia, which won a sweeping victory in last week’s parliamentary vote.
