Political activity

Bykov is considered one of the most powerful persons in Krasnoyarsk. Bykov from 1997 until 2016 held 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][3]

Controversies

In 2002, Bykov 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.[4]

In May 2020, Bykov was arrested in Krasnoyarsk, on suspicion of organizing the 1994 murders of criminal gang members Kirill Voytenko and Alexander Naumov.[5]
