Andrey Kirikov
Russian businessman
Andrey V. Kirikov (born 29 September 1975 in Kemerovo) is a Russian lawyer and entrepreneur. He was one of the founding shareholders of Sibir Cement Group, a major Russian cement producer.
Biography
Born in Kemerovo in 1975 to a mathematician and a medical doctor, Andrey graduated from the Law School of the Kemerovo State University in 1997. After graduation, Andrey Kirikov went to work full time as a legal counsel at Kuzbassprombank, which he had joined while still in law school.
In 1999, he became legal counsel to Deputy Governor for Construction of the Kemerovo Region, moving up to Head of Legal Support for Deputy Governor for Revenue. He became Director for Legal and General Management at Kuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant in 2000, subsequently becoming head of the private Regionservice Bar Association, an NPO.
He defended his PhD thesis on legal support for crime prevention at the Griboedov Institute for International Law and Economics in 2002, earning his PhD equivalent in law. His thesis was the first law research document in Russia to formulate the concept of legal support for crime prevention as an essential category of criminology and provide theoretical underpinnings for it. In the conclusion to his thesis, Andrey Kirikov noted the need for passing a basic law in this area—the federal law on prevention of crime.
Andrey Kirikov was a director (member of the board of directors) at Sibir Cement Holding Company in 2004–2008, moving on to start an investment business of his own after that.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Andrey Kirikov” as russian businessman. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as russian businessman. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15068628. The first chronological checks are 1975, 1997, 1999 and 2000.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
