Criticism and reviews

A number of public structures criticize Nikolayev for the fact that, as a deputy of the State Duma, he initiated a bill according to which the study of national languages in the republics of the Russian Federation should be voluntary - at the request of schoolchildren and their parents and not to the detriment of mastering Russian as the state language of Russia.[21] A number of social activists in the national republics opposed the adoption of the law. The head of the Chuvash public association "Border Brotherhood" Yuri Osokin explained that the adoption of the law may lead to the fact that "children will not know their native languages - the basis of their national culture", "the bill is directed against the native languages of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation." According to the leader of the Communist Party faction in the Cheboksary City Assembly of Deputies Dmitry Yevseyev, if the law is adopted, "it is completely incomprehensible what will happen to the army of school teachers and specialized faculties in pedagogical universities." The coordinator of the Committee for Civil Initiatives in Chuvashia, Igor Mikhailov, noted that "there is no consolidation and clearly expressed position among the Chuvash national organizations, as well as teachers of the Chuvash language."[22] In response to criticism, Oleg Nikolaev noted: “I am a co-author of amendments to the law on education, which for some reason some call the law on languages.

And most importantly, the Foundation for the Preservation and Development of Native Languages has been created."

He is also criticized for supporting the law on the publicity of correspondence in messengers, which is why Telegram has problems in Russia.[23]

Secretary of the Chuvash regional branch of the United Russia party Yury Kislov welcomed the appointment of Nikolayev to the post of interim head of Chuvashia: "I was glad that Fair Russia "Putin entrusted to try to steer Chuvashia. Usually she was in opposition and only scolded the authorities, but now we need to work and show how they can do it. If they know how to work, Chuvashia will get advantages from this, I think. <...> Since Putin has entrusted it, it means that everything has been calculated and everything will be fine. “I was glad that Putin entrusted A Just Russia to try to steer Chuvashia. Usually he was in opposition and only scolded the authorities, but now we need to work and show how they can do it. If they know how to work, Chuvashia will get advantages from this, I think. Since Putin has entrusted it, it means that everything has been calculated and everything will be fine."

According to the newspaper Zavtra: "The new head of Chuvashia is entirely guided by another Chuvash - federal heavyweight Anatoly Aksakov."[24] Aksakov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, commented to RIA Novosti: “We expect that the republic will begin to demonstrate forward movement in a fairly short time. One of the most dynamic republics will be, I am sure of that. Nikolayev will be able to unite all healthy forces in the republic, regardless of party affiliation, and will demand not party affiliation, but professionalism and work for the good of the republic."

Professor of ChSU named after I. N. Ulyanova, Vladimir Vasilyev, commenting on the appointment of Nikolayev, first of all drew attention to the fact that Nikolayev has no connections with the business circles of Chuvashia.[25] Cheboksary journalist Aleksandr Belov noted: "the local authorities were quite jealous of his activities, it was not easy for him to organize meetings with voters, and the heads of enterprises who approached him were sometimes even punished. And yesterday in Cheboksary there were even fireworks, with which the townspeople celebrated not only the resignation of Mikhail Ignatyev, but also the appointment of a new interim."[25]
