President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on celebrating the 90th anniversary of the birth of former Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov. He instructed the government to establish an organizational committee within six months to handle preparations for the event and to approve a plan of activities.
Yuri Luzhkov was born on September 21, 1936. He was the second mayor of Moscow and held this position from June 6, 1992, until September 2010, when he was dismissed “due to loss of the president’s trust.” The dismissal was preceded by a conflict between the mayor and the presidential administration, as well as the initiation of cases against high-ranking Moscow officials. After that, the former mayor engaged in agriculture. He headed the agricultural complex “Veedern” in the Kaliningrad region, breeding pedigree horses and bees. Mr. Luzhkov died in 2019 in Munich.
Moscow
Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia, with a history dating back over 800 years to its first recorded mention in 1147. It grew from a medieval fortress, the Kremlin, to become the political and cultural heart of the Russian state. The city is renowned for its iconic landmarks, including Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral, and the historic Moscow Metro.
Kaliningrad region
The Kaliningrad region is a Russian federal subject and exclave located on the Baltic Sea, geographically separated from the rest of Russia. Historically, its core was the city of Königsberg, which was the capital of East Prussia for centuries. Following World War II, the area was annexed by the Soviet Union, renamed Kaliningrad, and its German population was largely replaced by Soviet citizens.
Munich
Munich is the capital of Bavaria, founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion near a settlement of Benedictine monks, from which its name is derived. It is a major cultural center famed for its annual Oktoberfest celebration and its rich history, exemplified by landmarks like the Marienplatz square and the Nymphenburg Palace. The city was also a significant center for the Nazi movement and was heavily damaged during World War II before being meticulously rebuilt.
Moscow City
Moscow City, officially known as the Moscow International Business Center (MIBC), is a modern commercial district in the Russian capital. Its development began in the 1990s on a former industrial site, transforming it into a striking zone of skyscrapers. Today, it is a prominent symbol of contemporary Moscow, housing offices, luxury apartments, and entertainment venues.
Moscow City Council
The Moscow City Council, historically known as the Mossoviet, was the main administrative body of Moscow during the Soviet era. It was housed in a prominent building on Tverskaya Street, originally constructed in the 18th century. Following the dissolution of the USSR, its functions were transferred to the current Moscow City Government, and the historic building now serves as the mayor’s office.

It is possible that it may be a smaller, lesser-known locality or that the spelling differs.
