Konstantin Nikolaev was born in Dnipropetrovsk on 5 March 1971.
In 1996, Nikolaev, Nikita Mishin, Andrei Filatov, and Alexey Mordashov formed Severstaltrans ("Северстальтранс") with Mordashov holding a 50% stake and the other three holding equal stakes of the remaining shares.
In 1996, Igor Levitin became an employee of Severstaltrans and was the deputy director for transport engineering, rail transport and the operation of seaports from 1998 to 2004.
While he was the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation from May 20, 2004, to 2012, Igor Levitin ensured in 2010 that Mostotrest would construct the toll roads for the Russian federal highway network.

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.
Although Nikolaev, as a member of the 13 August 2011 established Right to Arms (Право на оружие), supports liberalization of arms ownership in Russia in 2011, Vladimir Lisin, who is the head of the Russian Shooting Union (Российский Стрелковый Союз), opposed Nikolaev.
During the summer of 2013 as an investor, Nikolaev through his managers actively discussed with Alexander Tarasov, who is a representative of the Cyclone Institute and the son of Viktor Tarasov who is the owner of the Cyclone Institute, and the mediator Alexey Beseda, who is the son of Sergey Beseda, about the production of matrices for thermal imagers and "photoelectronic devices".
