Panov Vladimir Alexandrovich is a Russian official who held the post of head of Nizhny Novgorod (mayor of the city). Information about the main stages of his biography and career is not available in accessible sources; it is known that during the period when he headed the city, weekly inspections of courtyards and public spaces being improved were carried out under the federal program "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment".
Activity as head of the city
During Panov's tenure, the city portal admcity.nnov.ru focused attention on the priority project "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" and reported on the head of the city's plans to conduct weekly inspections of courtyards and public spaces under repair.
The appointment of the director of the Institute for Urban Environment Development of the Nizhny Novgorod Region took place under Panov: he named the main task of the new head as finding answers to the question of "what should be considered beautiful and correct," taking into account the opinion of residents. In 2019, a 30% increase in funding for the "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" program was expected.
Departure from office
In May 2020, during quarantine restrictions, Nizhny Novgorod political scientist Valentina Buzmakova described Panov as having effectively withdrawn from public activity. Shalabayev Yuri was appointed to act as head of the city in his place. According to Buzmakova's assessment, this appointment meant the establishment of a "pure vertical of power."
