October 26, 2017 was approved by the law on the return of "one-headed" administration, where the mayor of the city is endowed with the authority of the head of administration and the head of the city.[2] In December 2017, a return to this administration began.
From 2010 to 2017 the city administration was divided between two posts - the head of the city and the head of the city administration. From 1991 to 2010 there was a one-headed system of legislative and executive power.
The mayor is not elected by popular vote, but appointed as a result of the closed vote of city council deputies.
