Dossier: On October, 1, 1998 Lisitsyn announced his retirement from the movement Our Home - Russia. The governor condemned the position of the movement's leadership including Aleksander Shokhin and Vladimir Ryzhkov, who refused to join the cabinet of Yevgeny Primakov. In Lisitsin’s opinion the movement thus kept itself aloof from the work of the new Russian government, thereby "bringing into question the role of the Our Home - Russia as a constructive force, ready work for the benefit of society."

On June 1, 2004 Lisitsyn entered a public debate with the president. He expressed dissatisfaction with taking the road tax payments from the regional budget.

The criminal case against governor Lisitsyn was initiated in June 2004, and in August he was accused. Lisitsyn was charged under article 286 part 3 of the Criminal Code (abuse of power). The grounds of the case were the check conducted by Audit Bureau of Yaroslavl Region and the Russian Audit Chamber. The two checked the law "On stimulating the economic development of Yaroslavl region" adopted by the local City Council in April 2001 and signed by the Governor. The two audit bodies and the investigation considered the law under which some local companies received subsidies from the regional budget and were exempted from taxes, caused financial loss of 1.5 billion rubles. Lawyers repeatedly challenged the legitimacy of the criminal case against the governor and his involvement as a defendant. However, Moscow City Court and Basmanny Court dismissed their claims. But at the end of August 2004 Prosecutor General’s Office closed the criminal case against the governor. "It was done with his consent, in connection with the end of time limitation for prosecution", - said the Prosecutor General. However, the investigation found that the actions of Lisitsyn caused more than 1 billion rubles damage to the budget. "The fact that Lisitsyn consented to the termination of the criminal case, points to him admitting having committed crimes which entail prosecution." Source: Vremya Novostei, 24 August 2004
In April 2011 the youngest son of the governor of Yaroslavl region, Dmitry Vakhrukov, was appointed head of the largest electricity supplier in the region Yaroslavskaya Sbyatovaya Company. During the first two weeks in office, he managed to dismiss Andrey Vukolov, head of a Yaroslavskaya Sbyatovaya Company department. This would not have been a big deal, if it had not been for the fact that Vukolov was the son of former Governor of Yaroslavl region, Anatoly Lisitsyn. According to media reports, Vukolov, who had worked in Yaroslavskaya Sbyatovaya Company for six years, was told that he could not fit in with the new team. Source: Zolotoe Koltso, 03 May 2011
