Nadezhda Chumakova was a rather mediocre mayor, although in Ryazan a real "cult of personality" was formed around her. For example, let's look at the development of public transport under her leadership. She brought Ryazan out of the transport crisis of 1960-1963, but after a couple of years of development, it almost stopped again. In the 1970s, the number of buses almost did not grow, and the population of the city grew by 100,000 over these 10 years. In the early 80s, the situation with the bus improved, but they almost stopped developing the trolleybus due to the fact that there was nowhere to place them: there was no more space in the trolleybus depots. Instead of building a third trolleybus depot, since 1984 it was decided to save on trolleybus maintenance. As a result, the technical condition of trolleybuses by the end of the 80s was terrible.
