Luzhkov Out

From Yahoo News:
"Medvedev fires defiant Moscow mayor"

This has been widely talked about in Russia, but it was still a shock because Medvedev actually stood up for something he wanted rather than simply doing what Putin wants him to do. Luzhkov has been mayor of Moscow since 1992 and it is time for change. He is of the old Soviet school (as opposed to the new Soviet school that Putin and Medvedev are in.) Hopefully, this will do good things for Moscow.
