Luzhkov, 20 years mayor in Moscow, though he helped found a party, United Party with Putin, in fact refused to be defined by the party and finally, in fact, lost his job not under Brezhnev, not under Gorbachev, but under Putin, who wanted a more faithful party follower.
Lužkov, 20 godina  gradonačelnik Moskve, iako je sudjelovao u stvaranju stranke,  Ujedinjene stranke, s Putinom, na koncu je odbio identifikaciju  sa strankom i izgubio posao, ne pod Brežnjevom, ne pod Gorbačovom,  nego pod Putinom koji je želio vjernijeg  stranačkog sljedbenika.
