Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1213 Discussion 4
Although Luzhkov and his group are generally from the same faction as Rutskoi and Gaidar, there are some essential differences. It can also be said that Luzhkov is dissatisfied with and disagrees with Rutskoi and Gaidar from the bottom of his heart. He believes that Gaidar's shock therapy and privatization are nothing but childish pranks, and that once price controls and housing supply are relaxed, those black-hearted businessmen will definitely plunder the assets of ordinary people.

They believe that Gaidar and his colleagues only considered distributing the country's assets to the people, but never thought about finding a truly good owner for these assets, making full use of these assets to produce more and better goods for the Russian people and allow Russia's economy to develop.

As for those owners who only want to make money from the enterprises, Jiang Yan has heard Luzhkov say more than once that these people are rats who are undermining the foundation of the Russians. These people should be sent to the execution ground and shot. This is not a bad thing for the Russians, but a good thing.

In fact, what Luzhkov said is not wrong. These people are the biggest parasites in Russia. They sell off Russia's state assets, put the profits into their own pockets, and then immigrate abroad through various means.

As for Rutskoi, Luzhkov looked down on him even more. He felt that this man was just copying the path of the previous Russian bear. If that was the case, why did they bother to overthrow the Soviet Union? Wouldn't it be better for them to live comfortably in Russia? Why bother with this?

This is why it is impossible for Luzhkov to follow the instructions of Gaidar and Rutskoi. His instructions were basically ignored by Luzhkov, and sometimes there were some quarrels. To be honest, in Jiang Yan's opinion, it was a good thing that they did not fall out.

However, these two people are currently the real power in Russia. The decrees they promulgated are also issued through quite legal channels, that is to say, they are issued in the form of government documents, which are reasonable and legal. It is not a problem to keep an eye on them for a long time. After all, they represent the central government. If Luzhkov does not change and think of a good solution, he will not be the mayor of Moscow much longer than Popov. These people will also want to change the law to get rid of Luzhkov. After all, having a stumbling block is not good for anyone.

And if Luzhkov followed Jiang Yan's advice and only did things that were beneficial to the city of Moscow, he would be jumping out of the vortex between Gaidar and Rutskoi.

It can be said that Jiang Yan is now using a serious conspiracy. As the saying goes, a good conspiracy can be broken, but there is basically no solution to the conspiracy. Besides, there is a great benefit for Luzhkov to do this. It seems that everyone is offended and no one listens to him, but on the other hand, it also gives both sides a reassurance. At least both sides know that Luzhkov is no one's man. As long as you don't interfere in Moscow's affairs, people will basically not turn against you. Perhaps only in this way can you maintain your stability and buy yourself some time.

In addition, everything Luzhkov did was for the good of Moscow, so no one could find fault with Luzhkov. However, the most important thing was that if Moscow developed better and better, Luzhkov would naturally become more confident and more difficult to shake. This was Jiang Yan's plan.

According to history, Chubais, the then first prime minister, strongly urged Luzhkov to start large-scale privatization in Moscow, but these actions were unexpectedly rebuffed by Luzhkov. Even after Chubais rejected his proposal to stop large-scale privatization, Luzhkov actually declared war on Chubais in public, that is, to fight him to the end.

Not only that, the conflict between the two people can also be resolved. At a national press conference, Luzhkov vowed that Moscow would never implement a nationwide privatization plan, and openly criticized Chubais, accusing Chubais of being irresponsible and brainless in his privatization of Russia.

The enraged Chubais instead accused Luzhkov, saying that Moscow was the city with the worst privatization program in the country, and that only 2% of large enterprises had been privatized, which was not good for the country and was a brainless act. Then the conflict between the two escalated, and all kinds of verbal battles began to occur frequently, and there were even debates in the newspapers, just like Gaidar's current auction of Rutskoi's supporters' enterprises. Chubais soon announced that he would auction off Moscow factories, but Luzhkov used administrative means to stop it, and he did not allow these enterprises to be registered.

Chubais accused Luzhkov of violating the law to the Russian Attorney General, and Prime Minister Chernomyrdin ordered Luzhkov to keep pace with the national privatization plan, but Luzhkov still refused to obey. The two people's argument soon alarmed Boris, the president.

As two of Boris's generals, the open discord is a headache for Boris. One is the first prime minister under him, and the other is the mayor of Moscow. It is also a headache for him. He has no choice but to mediate the conflict between the two. After all, he still needs the support of the two, especially Luzhkov's support, which is particularly important.

The final winner of the mediation was Luzhkov. After Boris announced the failure of mediation between the two parties, he ordered the government not to interfere in Moscow. From then on, Moscow completely became Luzhkov's independent kingdom.

In fact, the situation is far from being as simple as one might think. In other words, after Boris was sure that Luzhkov would not compete with him for the presidency, Luzhkov became his first campaigner and core figure to help him run for the presidency. That is why he issued the decree.

In addition, during the shelling of the White House, it was discovered that Luzhkov's support as the mayor of Moscow was the most important. If Luzhkov had not cut off the water and electricity to the White House and ordered the Moscow police and armed forces to join in supporting him, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

"In addition, you, Luzhkov, have a great advantage over Popov. You have always been the uncrowned king of Moscow. Almost all government officials in Moscow only know you, Luzhkov, but not Popov. Replacing Popov may not matter, but if no corresponding measures are taken and you, Luzhkov, are simply and crudely replaced, then Moscow will inevitably fall into great turmoil." Jiang Yan said slowly.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan sighed in his heart. This was probably the reason why Luzhkov was still able to sit firmly in the position of mayor of Moscow during such a turbulent period when Russia was just established.

You know, although the conflicts and struggles among the Russian upper class and even internal scandals have been frequently exposed, there are very few reports disclosing the internal conflicts and factions of the Moscow Municipal Government. This shows Luzhkov's dominance over the Moscow Municipal Government. In other words, only Moscow under his leadership can be so united.
