The article deals with issues related to the appointment and election of mayors of the city in the first two post-Soviet decades. Conclusions are drawn, according to which the effectiveness of the work of mayors and popularity among the population did not depend on how a citizen became the head of the city. It is determined that there are almost always opportunities for effective work as the head of the municipality, but it is also necessary to have a number of other factors, including, of course, the activity of citizens and the deputy corps, exerting pressure on the head of the city. Any order of election/appointment of the mayor has the right to exist.
