Moscow's first mayor

Description

"Professor and academician Gavriil Popov discusses how and why he took part in city government elections in Moscow, first for Chairman of the Moscow City Council, and then for Mayor of Moscow. The author examines his work in these offices and explains his decision to resign, something many Muscovites still don't understand. Mr. Popov's book offers insight into one of the most critical periods in the history of the Soviet Union and Russia in the 20th century."--
