According to him, this is due to a change in the management scheme of the city.

“Today, the amendments made to the charter of the city of Kaliningrad came into force, so I found it necessary to send a letter of resignation to the city council of my own free will in connection with a change in the management scheme of the city,” RIA Novosti Silanova quotes.

As the agency specifies, the city council accepted his resignation.

The head of Kaliningrad instead of Silanov became the chairman of the city council Andrei Kropotkin.
