Language: RussianRussian historian Roi Medvedev evolved from a dissident to a historian who writes complimentary books about modern Russian statesmen of the last twenty years. This is his new book about the three term Moscow mayor Iurii Luzhkov and the "economic miracle" of Moscow created in the 1990s under his leadership and with his personal participation. The city of Moscow can be compared with a large enterprise where the top officials, both elected and appointed, are not only the managers but also direct beneficiaries of this "miracle", owners or stock holders, of the many Moscow businesses and construction projects. Moscow represents an example of state capitalism which, according to Medvedev, Russian officials should take as a model for the whole economy and other regions of Russia. Bibliographical references.
