Symbol of the nineties. To the death of Yuri Luzhkov

Yuri Luzhkov died symbolically - an exile, on a foreign land, and not in his hometown.

The former mayor of Moscow for the 83 years he had lived more than one life. Each time, finding himself in a new role, he seemed to embody his time. In the fifties, he is an exemplary student - a virgin, activist, social activist. In the early sixties, when the first, he was won in a dispute between physicists and lyrics, he was a young and promising chemical scientist. With the beginning of Brezhnev’s time - a career bureaucrat in the Minhimprom, where he was engaged in the then automated control systems.

The first step towards independent management was its appointment in 1974, in a relatively young age by Soviet standards-38 years-the director of the developmental and design bureau of automation (OKBA), not a very large enterprise almost immediately behind the fence from VDNH. Six years later, having shown himself, Luzhkov received a promotion - remaining at the head of the October Revolution, he headed the Himavtomatika NPO, which included fourteen enterprises throughout the Soviet Union, which worked more than 20 thousand people. Luzhkov was engaged in the development of various chemical devices, being at the intersection of science and production.

By the Moscow standards, his October Revolution was a small enterprise, but the NGO itself, taking into account the branches - a large structure. Perhaps that is why he headed in the Moscow City Council, still old, pre-perestroika, a commission on communal services. Or maybe none of the solid directors wanted to take this cargo from hairdressing and laundry, but the energetic Luzhkov did not refuse, and, as it turned out later, won.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
