On July 2002 Beglov was appointed vice-governor of St. Petersburg.  Experts believe him to be a compromise between governor Vladimir Yakovlev and presidential plenipotentiary in the Northwestern Federal District Viktor Cherkesov. Beglov was called chancellor by the journalists. It was also alleged that Sergey Sviridov, personnel deputy plenipotetary,  requested nomination of Beglov. Legislative assembly was reported to approve Beglov's appointment as a new deputy governor only from the second attempt.

In connection with Yakovlev's appointment as deputy prime-minister, Beglov was acting governor of St. Petersburg until October 2003, he deserted the post after the election of a new governor, Valentina Matvienko. While taking governor position,  Beglov was a tool of the federal government, as he helped them to beat the opposition. As far back as early June of 2003, deputy governor Anna Markova publicly stated: "There is a monopoly on election campaign in the city. There is the only candidate and she put pressure on people, besides.'' Without further explanation Beglov replaced Anna Markova with Elena Rakhova who was personally loyal to him. At the same time Beglov was engaged in election arrangements already keeping in mind new amendments of St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly that allowed 20% turnout for validation of the elections.

In the beginning of 2009, on Vasilevsky island of St. Petersburg,  a mounted lift was set at the front door of the five-storey building where Beglov's family lived. In record time the project was completed at public expense. Construction and design costs were over 3 million rubles. The most interesting fact of the whole story is that Zhilkomservis utility company automatically included installation and operation payments in each receipt of  the front tenants. Later installation costs were removed from the receipts, but service charge was left.
