  Quadratic Poisson brackets on associative algebras are studied. Such a
bracket compatible with the multiplication is related to a differentiation in
tensor square of the underlying algebra. Jacobi identity means that this
differentiation satisfies a classical Yang--Baxter equation. Corresponding Lie
groups are canonically equipped with a Poisson Lie structure. A way to quantize
such structures is suggested.
