Controversies

In December 2022, during the charity event at the State Duma, where participants were supposed to fulfill a child's New Year's wish written on a card they select from a tree, Nilov made a comment regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A video of the event showed Nilov saying: "The boy Vova from Kiev dreams of rockets. Vova, you will get missiles. This is a joke, of course." His comment was met with criticism, and Artem Metelev, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy, was seen covering his face with his hand in response.[5]

In April 2023, Nilov proposed a "military tax" of 2-3% on individuals to support the Russian army in the conflict with Ukraine.[6]
