The entrepreneurial traditions of the Yaroslavl region have deep historical roots, in many areas the continuity is preserved for centuries despite the historical and political events.

This statement was vividly illustrated with presentations about the history of the Russian merchants, particularly with the interesting story about the life and business of the Yaroslavl "dairy king" Alexander Vasilyevich Ciccin (1862 – 1949).

From business psychological point of view, it is particularly interesting that before the revolution Chichkin has developed and implemented the own original method of education, promotion and stimulation of employees. It was the split of employees for different age groups and applying to each category specific approaches and system of incentives. The aim of the method was the creation of a stable community in which people could work all his life with natural for each age group motivation to work.

In the 1920-ies Chichkin was a senior consultant of the people's Commissariat of trade of the USSR, working closely with Mikoyan.  Ciccin’s experience became one of the cornerstones in the creation of the Soviet system of personnel management.
