In 1938 Jerzy Wolff published an enthusiastic review of Nikifor's art in Arkady monthly and bought some of his works.

Nikifor's last years were the topic of the 2004 film My Nikifor by Krzysztof Krauze, featuring actress Krystyna Feldman in the role of the artist.
She was the property of Alexei's tutor, Prince Nikifor Vyazemsky, but had originally been a captive from Finland, then a Swedish province, and was thereby a Swedish citizen.
