The transition of the Russian economy to market functioning mechanisms was accompanied by large-scale scandals and criminal events. Similar processes took place not only in the metropolitan regions, but also in Siberia. Anatoly Bykov is a famous person in Krasnoyarsk.
Starting position
The formation of new economic relations in Russia was based on the privatization of public property. According to the adopted rules, each citizen received a voucher and could get his share of it “from the common pie”. Many at that time did not understand the meaning of what was happening and did not know what to do with the voucher. Anatoly Petrovich Bykov was among them. But not for long. Natural savvy and persistent character allowed him to quickly understand the situation. He did not sell his privatization check, but created a commercial structure.

Parents at that time lived in the village of Elovka in the Irkutsk region. My father worked at a sawmill. Mother was engaged in housework and raising children. A year later, the Bykovs moved to the mining town of Nazarovo, Krasnoyarsk Territory. Here the youngest son went to school. After the eighth grade, he graduated from the local construction college. From an early age, Anatoly was engaged in boxing and by the age of sixteen he had fulfilled the norm of a candidate for master.

In 1987, Bykov graduated from the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute and graduated with a degree in physical education and basic military training. In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he moved to Krasnoyarsk and went into small business. After a successful transaction to supply a large batch of products to the city from Kazakhstan, a novice businessman acquired a 10% stake in the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant (KrAZ). Then Anatoly Petrovich creates a regional fuel company. And in 2000, he was chairman of the Board of Directors of KrAZ.
