Biography

[edit]

Konstantin Nikolaev was born in Dnipropetrovsk on 5 March 1971.[7]

In 1993, Nikolaev graduated from Moscow State University, which he entered in 1988. He initially studied in the Department of the History of Foreign Philosophy, but later transferred to the Department of Ethics, both within the Faculty of Philosophy. His thesis focused on Plato's The Republic[8][9].

Nikolaev began his career in transportation and logistics in the early 1990s as a forwarding agent at Murmansk port, where he coordinated the loading and unloading of ships[8].  

In 1993, he joined Petra, the second largest private transportation and forwarding company in Russia, working as a Deputy Commercial Director overseeing port operations[10].

In 1994, Nikolaev co-founded Aniko Marine, a transportation and forwarding company that serviced major steel companies including Novolipetsk Steel (NLMK) and Cherepovets Steel Mill. As General Director and one-third shareholder, he managed client relationships and negotiated with ports, shippers, and competitors[11][9].

In March 1996, Nikolaev, Nikita Mishin, Andrei Filatov, and Alexey Mordashov formed Severstaltrans (Russian: "Северстальтранс") with Mordashov holding a 50% stake and the other three holding equal stakes of the remaining shares.[12][13][14]. In early 2008, Mordashov sold his 50% stake in Severstaltrans to Nikolaev and his partners then Severstaltrans changed its name to N-Trans (Russian: "Н-Транс").[12][14][15] In 2008, 70% of Globaltrans shares were held by N-Trans.[15] In 2008, 30% of the shares of Cypriot-based Globaltrans Investments Plc were offered as an IPO in July 2012 in London for $520 million.[15][16][17]

He served as CEO from 1997 until 2008 (when Severstaltrans was restructured and rebranded as N-Trans), overseeing the company's growth into a leading provider of transportation and logistics services in Russia. During this period, the company began accumulating railway and port assets[8].

In 2004, Globaltrans Investment PLC was established to consolidate the company’s railway assets. OJSC New Transportation Company, which handled the operating part of Severstaltrans’ business, and Sevtekhnotrans LLC, which was responsible for purchasing and leasing railcars, were transferred to Globaltrans, as well as a growing fleet of privately owned railcars. By 2023, the company was operating a fleet of 66,000 railcars (94% of them owned directly)[11][9].

According to Finance Magazine (Russian: Журнал «Финанс») in February 2011, Nikolaev as co-owner of the N-Trans holding group was ranked 117 richest Russian with an estimated worth of $920 million which was nearly identical to his business partners Nikita Mishin ranked 116th worth an estimated $920 million.[18]

Late in 2011, Nikolaev and Mishin sold to Gennady Timchenko their 13% stake for $150–200 million in Transoil, which is one of the largest railway transporters of oil and oil products in Russia.[19][20]

In 2014, Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, Andrey Kunatbaev, Roman Abramovich, Alexander Abramov, and Alexander Voloshin became the majority investors in John Houghtaling II's American Ethane.[21][22] After Roman Abramov divested his investment in American Ethane in April 2017, Nikolaev, Yuriev, and Kunatbaev became co-owners of American Ethane with a combined stake of 88%.[21][22][23][a]

Between 2006 and 2015, Nikolaev was a shareholder in Mostotrest, one of Russia's leading infrastructure construction companies, responsible for major projects including the Big Obukhov Bridge in St. Petersburg, transport interchanges for the 2014 Winter Olympics, and sections of the Moscow-St. Petersburg highway[24].

Before October 2014, Nikolaev and his investment partners owned a combined 31.55% stake and Arkady Rotenberg held the other 68.45% stake in Marc O'Polo Investments which held a 38.63% stake in the major road construction firm Mostotrest (Russian: "Мостотрест").[6]

In 2007, Nikolaev and his partners became independent owners of Severstaltrans, which was rebranded as N-Trans in 2008. Nikolaev continued as CEO. N-Trans included more than 20 companies, mainly involved in railway transportation and port operations[24].

In 2008, Global Ports Investments was formed to operate the Group’s port assets. These included container terminals in Russia's key maritime regions (St. Petersburg and the Far East), two port facilities in Finland, and five inland terminals across Finland and Poland, as well as a 50% stake in an Estonian transshipment terminal. This network of assets established Global Ports as a major terminal operator spanning multiple countries in the Baltic and Far Eastern regions[11].

In May 2008, Globaltrans conducted an IPO on the London Stock Exchange, placing 29% of shares. That same month, the partners sold a 50% stake in Vladivostok Container Terminal LLC for $200 million[11]. 

In 2011, Global Ports Investments went public on the London Stock Exchange. The IPO was a success[25].  

In April 2012, the partners sold a further 37.5% stake in Global Ports[11].  

In 2013, N-Trans acquired the National Container Company, a domestic operator with a network of terminals mostly in the Baltic Sea region. From 2014 to 2019, Nikolaev was an investor in Technoprom LLC, a Moscow-based system operator developing digital B2B tools for the Russian market[26][9].

Nikolaev and his partners owned 34.5% of Globaltrans (an 11.5% stake for each) but sold the stevedore and ports holding company assets, Global Ports, in December 2017.[6][27] At that time, Global Ports included the management of the ports at the First Container Terminal, Petrolesport, Ust-Luga Container Terminal, and the Moby Dick in northwestern Russia; Eastern Stevedoring Company in the Far East; and two in Finland: the Multi-Link Helsinki and the Multi-Link Kotka.[28][29]

In January 2024, he finalized his exit from Globaltrans, which also marked his final exit from all Russian business interests—a process he had begun a decade prior[10].

Since 2014 Nikolaev was a major investor in a satellite imagery company ScanEx (Russian: Сканэкс) which supplies classified imagery intelligence to private and state-owned companies and agencies such as Gazprom, Rosneft, Yandex, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and others[9][26].

Later in 2014, Nikolaev transferred his stake in the business to his wife, Svetlana, who subsequently sold her 30.67% share in ScanEx in July 2023[26][9].

ScanEx's work with satellite imagery required licenses from the Russian government, including permits from the FSB. As Nikolaev’s spokesperson publicly explained, such licenses are “standard” for businesses that collect “geographic data for commercial use,” and stated that the licenses “are not indicative of any connection with Russian intelligence services.”.[30][31]

ScanEx is closely associated with Arkady Rotenberg and Igor Rotenberg and his Mostotrest.[32][33][b]

Nikolaev, as a member of the 13 August 2011 established Right to Arms (Russian: Право на оружие),[34] and supported liberalization of arms ownership in Russia.

Nikolayev was one of the first investors in LLC "Photoelectronic Devices" (FP), established in 2013 to produce microbolometer arrays for night vision technologies, which Russia had previously been forced to import. FP was founded in September 2013 by a Cyprus-registered company, Rayfast Investments, and the company "Cyclone," a state research institution and one of the few Russian manufacturers of thermal imaging equipment[9][26].

According to Nikolayev, a decision to shut down the project was made in 2020. LLC "Photoelectronic Devices" was officially liquidated in 2021[9][26].

The state's contribution to the project was limited to providing a production facility for a period of 10 years and contributing 700,000 rubles (around €9,000) to the company’s charter capital, according to Nikolayev. In contrast, his company invested around 385.2 million rubles (approximately €3.8 million) into the project. Ultimately, as previously noted, the project failed, and Nikolayev incurred a loss on his investment[9][26].

According to Ilya Yashin, in January 2017, Konstantin Nikolaev, his wife Svetlana Nikolaeva and Maria Butina attended the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States.[35]

Since 2013, Nikolaev has owned and operated the La Madonnina winery in Bolgheri, Tuscany, which he purchased for 4 million euros.[34] Riccardo Cotarella, who is an oenologist, heads the association of Italian winemakers (Italian: Assoenologi) and, with his brother Renzo, produces wine under the Familia Cotarella brand, who serves is the manager of both the La Madonnina estate and the cellar for Nikolaev.[3][34][36][37][38][39][c]

The estate produces approximately 30,000 bottles annually of red, rosé, and sparkling wines, as well as olive oil and grappa. Having exited from all Russian business interests, the winery is his main focus today[26][9].
