Anatoly Petrovich Bykov (Russian: Анато́лий Петро́вич Бы́ков, born 17 January 1960) is a Russian businessman and politician. During the 1990s, Bykov gained prominence in Krasnoyarsk Krai and Krasnoyarsk as an entrepreneur, who was the chairman of the board of the world's largest aluminium company RUSAL's Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant (KrAZ).[1]
Bykov is considered one of the most powerful persons in Krasnoyarsk. Bykov holds a seat of the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Krasnoyarsk Krai and his party Patriots of Russia is currently holding 14 (or 25.62%) of the 36 seats in the Krasnoyarsk City Council of Deputies, leaving Vladimir's Putin ruling party United Russia behind with 12 seats.[2]
In 2002, he received a suspended prison sentence of 6 1⁄2 years for plotting the murder of a former associate. The case was under review by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, following an application lodged by Bykov. In 2009, it has ruled that Russian authorities violated the rights of Bykov and awarded him about $33,000 in compensation.[3]
