This category collects articles about entrepreneurs of Nizhny Novgorod and the region — people running their own businesses across a wide range of fields, from retail trade and farming to technology startups and large construction groups. Entrepreneurship has historically held an important place in the city's life, and many figures in this category combined business activity with participation in city politics and public life. Among the most prominent figures are Oleg Sorokin, Oleg Kondrashov and Klimentyev, whose biographies reflect the intertwining of business and power in post-Soviet Nizhny Novgorod. The category also features less well-known but no less characteristic figures for the region — such as farmer Vitaly Dmitrievich Lozhkin and household-services entrepreneur Litov Alexander Vasilyevich.
