Construction of a new Moscow government building

Construction began in September 2005. It was deployed on the territory of the business district under the leadership of the former mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov. According to him, a complex will be built consisting of 4 buildings of 70 floors each. Departments of the legislative and executive authorities of Moscow will be located there. Moreover, construction must be carried out in a short time. Budget funds will not be required to carry out the work. Construction is planned to be carried out on the basis of collateral.

History of origin[ | ]

In the Russian Empire, until 1918, the executive body of city government was the Moscow City Council under the leadership of the mayor.

In Soviet times, the executive body was the executive committee of the Moscow City Council, which actually carried out the decisions of the city party committee.

In 1991, even before the collapse of the USSR, for the first time in the RSFSR, a mayor and government were elected in Moscow, which served as the beginning of the creation of a new system of city executive authorities[1]. At first, the Moscow Government and the Moscow City Executive Committee existed in parallel, until in September 1991 the latter was finally abolished. Initially, the positions of the city mayor and the prime minister were separated. After the resignation of Gabriel Popov, they were combined for a long time by Yuri Luzhkov. On August 20, 2001, the position of prime minister was officially abolished, and the mayor began to head the government.[2]

Modernity

In 1993, the Moscow City Council was abolished, and the building on Tverskaya was converted into the residence of the mayor of Moscow[19][20]. In 1994, portraits of the capital's governors-general were returned from museum storage to the state rooms of the house. At the same time, the Soviet symbols that decorated the pediment of the house were replaced with the coat of arms of Moscow[1][2].

Since 2002, the City Hall building has been participating in the “Days of Historical and Cultural Heritage of Moscow” program. The first tour of the former residence of the governor generals for schoolchildren was conducted by the mayor of the city, Yuri Luzhkov. Traditionally, weddings of Muscovites are held within the walls of the house on Krasnaya Gorka[21]. Rallies and single pickets were repeatedly held near the building in order to attract public attention[22][23][24].

In 2013, a large-scale reconstruction of the architectural decoration of the house took place, funds for which were allocated from the city budget. During the work, decorative elements of the facade, wrought iron fences and balcony grilles were repaired, the roofing was partially renewed, drainpipes were replaced, and expansion joints in places of vertical cracks were eliminated[25][26][27].

Elections in Moscow at all levels[ | ]

Since 2021, the First Deputy Mayor in the Moscow Government, Chief of Staff Natalya Sergunina, is responsible for internal policy, including the organization of elections in Moscow at all levels [13][14][15]. In this post, she replaced the mayor’s long-time ally, Anastasia Rakova, and before that she worked at the Federal Agency for State Property Management and Moscow authorities on property and land relations[13].

Criticism[ | ]

Frequent road repairs

In 2021, it turned out that 130 streets in Moscow have undergone renovations two or more times over the past four years. Moreover, according to documents of the Moscow Government, asphalt replacement on large roads should be no more than once every three years, on small streets - once every 4-5 years[16].

Financial situation of Natalia Sergunina

On August 1, FBK published an investigation in which it accused the Moscow mayor’s office and the deputy head of the city, Natalya Sergunina, personally of corruption in the amount of 6.5 billion rubles (the video received more than 2.5 million views on the YouTube video hosting site). According to the official declaration, she is one of the poorest city hall officials[17]. At the same time, FBK claims that Sergunina’s real fortune is estimated at 6.5 billion rubles, and while being responsible for the sale of city real estate at auction, she underestimated the value of the objects that passed into the hands of her family, sister and her ex-husband. According to the authors of the investigation, the enrichment scheme is “almost an ideal crime,” since it was carefully thought out, and “an amazing combination of circumstances helped to solve it”[18][19].

Cinema "October"

The presented diagram[of what?][ | ]

Moscow owns a large number of different historical buildings and cultural heritage sites. In some cases, it is more profitable to sell them than to maintain them [ source not specified 324 days

].
And it is precisely such objects that can be found in specialized magazines for potential buyers. In the investigation, the Anti-Corruption Foundation also used such magazines, but not to buy mansions, but to find illegally taken real estate. The June 2021 issue was reviewed (later the July issue). It acquires 3 real estate objects with disproportionate value (the price of real estate in all locations is many times higher than the objects acquired by Mercury). Moreover, the difference between the asking price and the purchase itself was the same in all 3 cases - 466,150 rubles. The reason for this could not be understood. Interestingly, this scheme uses a whole chain of offshore companies. Thus, Mercury LLC is owned by a company from Cyprus - Florestar, and it, in turn, is owned by two more offshore companies from the British Virgin Islands - Upington International Limited (UIL) and Candee. In parallel with this, FBK employees determined that the husband of Natalya Sergunina’s sister, Lazar Safaniev, owns a British [ what?
] by Balkan Consalding (this follows an extract from the English register of legal entities). In addition, it was possible to find out that Lazar is the beneficiary (owner) of Upington International Limited. This means that he is the owner of the very objects purchased at auction from the capital. In addition to UIL, Candee was also investigated. Using it, we were able to discover 2 more objects (“Bronnaya Plaza” and a building in Zamoskvorechye). Also, as a result of the investigation, the owner of the Moscow cinema "October" was identified. As a result, direct damage from violations during the privatization of Moscow property alone is estimated at 1,043 billion rubles. Neither the City Hall nor Sergunina commented on this matter[20].

Regnatsky's financial situation

In 2021, the mother of the head of the Moscow regional security department, Vladimir Vladimirovich Regnatsky, who is responsible for coordinating rallies and processions in Moscow, was found to have an apartment worth about 200 million rubles, which until 2011 belonged to V. V. Regnatsky himself.[21][22] [23][24]

Gorbenko's financial situation

In 2021, it became known that Rosreestr changed the name of Moscow Vice-Mayor Alexander Gorbenko, who deals with regional security and information policy issues in the Moscow Government, in documents for a suburban plot in Bityagovo near Moscow with an area of ​​2 hectares. Now in the extract the owner of the land is listed as a certain Ivan Ivanovich Fedorov, however, the date of purchase of the land and the registration number of the transaction coincide with the previous ones, when Gorbenko owned it. In addition, the neighboring plots are still registered in the name of the son and wife of the vice mayor. On 2 hectares of land owned by Gorbenko, there are nine houses, two ponds, three sports and playgrounds, five statues and one “dachshund” bench. FBK assessed the property at the vice-mayor's dacha at 500 million rubles[25][26][27][28][29].

When was the order restored?

Governor-General Zakhary Chernyshev brought stability to the residence of Moscow mayors when he took office in 1782. It is believed that the palace on Tverskaya, 13 ➍ was built specifically for him. Matvey Kazakov, worked on the project . True, Chernyshev himself was destined to remain in office for a short time. In 1784 he died, and the palace was bought by the treasury. For more than a century, the building on Tverskaya was the main residence of all governors-general, until 1917. During the Soviet era, the Moscow City Council was located in the governor’s house, and since the 1990s, the Moscow City Hall.
