Marriage is serious work. Yuri Luzhkov and Elena Baturina know about this and relate to family life responsibly and consciously. So deliberately that they recently decided to get married. The wedding of the couple took place in the house church of the Nativity of the Virgin, located on the site of the couple's house near Moscow.

As Luzhkov explained to the journalists of the Dozhd TV channel, he and Baturina decided to hold a ceremony in honor of the 25th anniversary of their marriage.

Last year, the former Moscow mayor described the story of his acquaintance with his wife in a special column for Forbes Woman. They got to know each other in the late 1980s, Luzhkov was assigned to head the Commission on Cooperative Individual Labor Activities, and a group of young people from the Institute of Economic Problems of Moscow, among whom was Baturina, was assigned to help the official.

“What is the secret of a successful marriage? - reasoned the official. - Love and mutual respect. And do not interfere with each other. I still admire the eccentricity of my wife. She always, even in acute cases, finds non-standard solutions. Yes, even now I often tell my wife about love. Although we are together … soon it will be a quarter of a century! How did I admit it to her? In person. Elena and I had no problems understanding where our romance was heading."

“The mutual influence of husband and wife is absolutely natural,” says Luzhkov. - But we are very respectful of each other's independence. No, she didn't give me advice while I was working as mayor. There was a clear rule here: I do not interfere in her affairs, she does not interfere in my decisions. And now Elena is developing her business in Europe, and I plow on a combine harvester near Kaliningrad. Lena is now in charge of everything, and I am in charge of agriculture!"
