In 2018, the Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region, Evgeny Kuyvashev , awarded Valery Chichkanov with a badge "For Services to the Sverdlovsk Region" III degree.
Based on the available data, it can be assumed that Valery Chichkanov was one of the main characters in the group “near the scientific bureaucracy”, the organizational core of which was the authorities of the Kirovsky district of Sverdlovsk, who oversaw the Ural branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Ural Polytechnic Institute. This group at the turn of the 1980s - 1990s served as the backbone of the formation of the Yekaterinburg administration and was closely associated with the leaders of the OCG "Center".
The main commercial organizations created by this group of persons in the late 1980s in the Sverdlovsk region were:
- Youth Enterprise "KENPO";
- Soviet-British joint venture "Ural";
- Research and Technology Center "Foratec".
In Moscow, this group of persons, presumably, took part in the creation of AFK Sistema.
MP KENPO and AFK Sistema were distinguished by close ties with the Khabarovsk Territory, which was probably due to the assistance of Valery Chichkanov, who from 1979 to 1986 worked in Khabarovsk as director of the Economic Research Institute of the Far Eastern Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
Valery Chichkanov is married.
His son Anton Chichkanov was one of the founders of the Stromag Enterprise LLP (Pervouralsk) together with the leaders of the Center OCG Nikolai Shirokov and Georgy Arkhipov.
