Palling Around with Putin
“Yuri M. Luzhkov is a mayor with a foreign policy. A former Soviet apparatchik who yearns to restore Russia’s regional hegemony, he has supported ethnic Russians and stoked separatism in nations along the country’s borders,” writes New York Times Moscow bureau chief Clifford Levy in his profile of the Moscow mayor. The article, the latest in The Times’ relentlessly bleak Kremlin Rules series, paints a sinister picture of Luzhkov, focusing on his support for the breakaway Georgian province of South Ossetia and the Russian population in Crimea, as well as the aura of corruption that surrounds him and his wife.
