In April 1558, the merchant Grigory Anikeevich Stroganov received a letter of merit from Tsar Ivan the Terrible to the " empty " lands of Perm the Great for 88 miles along the Kama River from the mouth of the Lysva and Pyznensky Kurya to the mouth of the Chusovaya River, on both sides of the river. Kama (3 415 840 tithes).

In 1564 , having received permission from the tsarist government, G. A. Stroganov built a town on the Oryol volley under the name Kerganedan (Oryol-Gorodok).

In August 1572, in response to the assassination of 87 Russian "mercantile people" by the insurgent Cheremis and Bashkirs in the vicinity of the towns of Kankar and Kergedan, Tsar Ivan the Terrible ordered the brothers Jacob and Grigory Stroganov to gather their military forces and take a punitive campaign against the rebels, " choosing hunters to go on them by war and bring under the high hand of the Tsar . ”

Soon after the death of his father, between Grigory and Yakov Anikeevich, on the one hand, and their younger brother Semyon , who lived in Solvychegodsk , on the other, hostility arose, the reasons for which remain unknown. The matter reached the Tsar’s court, by which Semyon Stroganov was found guilty in 1573, and his older brothers “ betrayed by the head ”.

In 1573, the Siberian Khan Kuchum , fearing the strengthening of the Stroganov brothers, organized a campaign against their possessions. On June 2, a large detachment of Siberian Tatars, Ostyaks, and Vogulichs led by Tsarevich Mametkul attacked the Chusovsky town of Kangor, but could not take possession of it. However, the enemy killed many of the natives subjugated by Russians in the vicinity. Yakov and Grigory Stroganov sent a large detachment from Chusovsky town against Mametkul , who retreated beyond the Urals. The Stroganovs began to pursue the Tatars, on the way they attacked the settlements of those Ostyaks and Vogulichs who either joined the Mametkul detachment, or somehow helped the latter. Many residents were killed, "they took their wives and children to the fullest, they turned their homes to ashes ."

In March 1574, Tsar Ivan the Terrible ordered the brothers Jacob and Grigory Stroganov to immediately arrive from Moscow to Alexandrov Sloboda. Here the tsar had several lengthy conversations with them, asking them in detail about various circumstances related to the relationship between the Kama lands and Siberia, and carefully listening to their opinion on the measures necessary to curb the Tatars and the Siberian Khan Kuchum . In May of the same year, “ eminent people ” Yakov and Grigory Anikeevich Stroganov received a letter from the tsar to new vast territories beyond the Ugra Stone on Takhchei, Tobol and Irtysh and the Ob ( Vagran lands - 887 325 acres and 42 square fathoms, Turin wasteland - 99 110 acres and 1575 square sazhens, Zaozerskaya dacha - 238 325 acres).
