In 2000, he became the first vice-premier of the city government with a very wide range of responsibilities: he was responsible for investments, and for culture, transport, trade, construction, sports, education, and the social sphere.

2005 was a landmark year for him. At the suggestion of the President of the Russian Federation, supported by the local parliament, V. P. Shantsev became governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

In 2010 he was re-elected governor of the above-named region. This year, he was criticized quite harshly for failing to protect the area from raging fires. During this year, D. A.

In September 2017, the President of Russia accepted the resignation of the Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region V. P. Shantsev at his own request. This decision was made after a meeting with representatives of the administration of the head of the Russian Federation.

Results of the Governor's activity

A major project that was implemented when V. P. Shantsev as governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, was the completion of the metro bridge across the Oka River in the regional center. In the same year (2012), the first metro station "Gorkovskaya" was put into operation in the upper part of the city.

Also, between Nizhny Novgorod and Bor, a cable car was built across the Volga River. With the advent of Shantsev to the governorship in 2005, the reconstruction of the circus was re-continued, which was completed in 2 years, although before that it had dragged on for decades.

Under Shantsev, social programs for housing construction were actively promoted, including for orphans, and the problems of deceived equity holders were partially solved.

However, since 2009, Nizhny Novgorod has lost the status of a cultural settlement due to the demolition of ancient buildings located in the upper part of the city. The demolition of architectural monuments, which previously lost this status, continued further. Activists who tried to resist these actions were detained for hooliganism and subjected to administrative arrest for several days.

In 2017, a campaign began to replace some governors with long experience in management with young managers. This campaign did not bypass the region in question, which led to the resignation of the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region.
