This provoked a two-year court case that ended in the summer of 1997 with a ruling that the Duma had acted illegally in extending its powers. Campaign The "Nikolai Gonchar" bloc was the only bloc that adopted a platform critical of the way Mayor Yury Luzhkov ran the city. Among posters were "In this city, there should be a separation of powers, but the present Moscow City Duma is nothing but a pie with no filling".Russkii telegraf, October 7, 1997 The bloc, which was set up by the "Our City" movement, the Moscow Association of Councils of Territorial and Social Self-Government, and the Moscow branch of the Democratic Party of Russia, included 33 candidates. The "My Moscow" bloc (CPRF, APR, ROS, Spiritual Heritage and People's Alliance) campaign stressed that "Muscovites support the Mayor's actions" and focused on solving the city's ecological and transportation problems. Some days before the voting the city hall-owned newspaper Tverskaya 13 published a list of 35 candidates that were endorsed by the mayor. They won in all but 9 districts. The "Luzhkov list" had a partial overlap with a joint "democratic majority" list backed by NDR, DVR and Yabloko parties. A total of 357 candidates ran in the election, of them 225 unaffiliated,Сведения о зарегистрированных кандидатах в депутаты Московской городской думы, выдвинутых от избирательных объединений (блоков), избирателями, а также путем самовыдвижения http://mos.ru/moscow/elect/block.asp mos.ru https://web.archive.org/web/19990128100850/http://mos.ru/moscow/elect/block.asp 28 January 1999 ru Information on registered candidates for the Moscow City Duma, nominated by electoral associations (blocs), voters, and by self-nomination 28 members of the outgoing City Duma and 59 women.Сведения о зарегистрированных кандидатах в депутаты Московской городской думы http://mos.ru/moscow/elect/kandidat.asp mos.ru https://web.archive.org/web/19990128143517/http://mos.ru:80/moscow/elect/kandidat.asp 28 January 1999 ru Information on registered candidates for the Moscow City Duma Results auto Party affiliation:Выборы депутатов МГД.
