Former deputy mayor of Odesa, Serhiy Pidhainyi, resigned from his post as head of the Khadzhybey district administration of Odesa a week after his appointment.

The relevant order of the mayor, Gennadiy Trukhanov, was published by the press service of the municipality.

The reason for the dismissal was a statement by Pidhainyi himself, who, according to media reports, was offered a position in Kyiv.

Serhiy Pidhainyi took over as head of the district administration on August 22, but the order on his appointment was published on August 26. The same was true for his dismissal, which was signed on August 29 and made public on September 4.

Serhiy Pidhainyi was born in 1977 in Kaniv. He has a degree in heat and gas supply and ventilation.

Until 2005, he worked for Ruslan Tarpan. While Eduard Hurvits was the mayor of Odesa, Pidhainyi was close to Mykhailo Kuchuk.

From May 2005 to February 2009, he served as the head of the Roads Department of the Odesa City Council. In February 2009, Serhiy Pidhainyi was appointed head of the Prymorskyi District Administration of Odesa.

By the order of the Mayor of Odesa dated May 23, 2011, he was appointed to the position of the Head of the Road Facilities Department of the Odesa City Council (he was selected through a competition).

On February 29, 2012, the then Mayor Oleksiy Kostusev appointed him as his deputy, replacing the dismissed Oleksandr Orlov, but in June of that year, Serhiy Pidhainyi resigned from this position.

In 2014, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine appointed Serhiy Pidhainyi to head the State Road Agency of Ukraine, a position he resigned from in 2015.

On February 25, 2020, Odesa Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov appointed Serhiy Pidhainyi as his deputy. In May 2020, he was appointed to serve as First Deputy Mayor. However, on July 22, 2020, he was dismissed from this position.

In February 2021, Serhiy Pidhainyi was appointed deputy to the head of the Odesa Regional State Administration, Serhiy Hrynevetskyi, and was dismissed in March 2022.
