Sergei Zimin built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.
The record lists Sergei Zimin as Russian businessman (1875–1942).
Sergei Zimin was born at Orekhovo-Zuyevo in 1875. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Moscow Commercial School.
Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.
He worked as entrepreneur, theatre manager and patron of the arts.
Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.
That the business was built from Russia shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Sergei Zimin died in 1942, aged 67. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
