Her better-known students include Nikolai Lugansky.  (Is Mikhail Petukhov,
Anton Mordasov (a recent Van Cliburn competitor) or Elena Andreeva, who
also figured amongst her pupils, considered remotely better-known? Hrm,
probably not...)

I can't resist mentioning, though, that Nikolaeva's *teachers* included
Evgeni Golubev (1910-88), a student of Nicolai Miaskovskii and teacher
of Alfred Schnitke, composer of 10 piano sonatas, 3 piano concerti, 7+
symphonies, 22 (+?) string quartets and a number of other works (those I'm
acquainted with are of high quality) at least one of which (piano concerto
#3) was recorded by Ms. Nikolaeva...
