sacked moscow's me our usual scoff i visually do to his last option for a good frost but i decided to dismiss the mayor of moscow the decree i signed states that i as president have lost trust in. and it is a legal reason for his dismissal yes i can not work of the seychelles i can't trust that was the way to show that you missed it's obvious the professional relations between the presidents in moscow had wasn't he while the man subordinate to the president and not the other way round was a certain steps should have been taken to return the situation banks in the. bush trough stayed in office as the mayor of moscow for eighteen years that is a tremendous amount of time that is paid that's why his sacking caused quite a mixed reaction from most whites because many people supported he was called for his policies on french in years so the average level of tensions in moscow is higher than in other russian cities many people said that it was because of you

will scoff that moscow receives a new modern look however there are a lot of people who accuse you will scoff all feeling to solve moscow's traffic problem of failing to protect many buildings which bore off the cultural importance not only to the city of moscow but to be for mission and there's also a lot of controversy going on around you of course wife opinion about good enough to start to be russia's richest wealthiest business woman and many people do say that she managed to be so consul successful because of her husband being in the air of moscow under the law the united russia party as the majority within the russian parliament now has ten days to submit at least the candidacies to the russian president for the post of moscow's mayor then he will have to choose one of them and submit this tendency to the moscow city hall and he was called also have the

rip off artists who were making money on the new bush moscow and did things like build christ the savior cathedral i think his legacy will be that he's a bulldozer bulldozers get things done but they sometimes are rude and crude if you were to go back and look in the middle of the nine hundred ninety s. i think a lot of muscovites would say we'll take off with all his rough edges because he got a lot done because he did have a populist unfortunately i think many times people are influenced by their spouses . wife elin and to live now but hard charging in the plastics business in the construction business widely said to be in the corruption business and some of that sloshed over in a man who stayed in his job just to. yuri luzhkov will have a mixed legacy but his legacy is evident on the new face of the new moscow.
