Nikolsky (Russian: Никольский) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Podporozhsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Svir River, several kilometers west of the town of Podporozhye. Municipally, it is incorporated as Nikolskoye Urban Settlement, one of the four urban settlements in the district. Population: 2,989 (2010 Census);2,931 (2002 Census);2,953 (1989 Census).
The Svir Shipyard was founded by Peter the Great in 1703 to saturate the demand for the growing navy. Initially, the settlement was populated by foreign workers, mainly from Germany, and the settlement was known as Nemetskoye (literal translation: Populated by Germans). In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known from 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate). In 1727, it was transferred to the newly established Novgorod Governorate, and in 1773, it was transferred into newly established Olonets Oblast and became a part of Lodeynopolsky Uyezd. After 1801, it was a part of Olonets Governorate. In 1913, the settlement was renamed Nikolskoye. In 1922, Olonets Governorate was abolished, and Lodeynopolsky Uyezd was transferred to Petrograd Governorate (later Leningrad Oblast).
