Leningrad's Intendant

Leningrad's Intendant was a government official responsible for managing the city’s administrative functions, finances, and public services during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Similar to a modern city manager or director, the Intendant oversaw infrastructure, budget, and local governance to ensure efficient operation. This role was part of a broader administrative reform aimed at centralizing control and improving municipal management. The position was temporary and dissolved as governmental structures evolved, reflecting efforts to streamline authority and enhance local governance in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg).
