Сritique.
In 2008, during the transition from municipal to regional subordination, it turned out that the university has no acts confirming the ownership of the buildings. At the beginning of December, according to Vremya, about 30 such documents were missing. According to Yefim Kogan, an expert from the National Training Foundation: “The situation is due to the fact that all the formalities of the transfer of a university from one subordination to another must be observed. Lack of funding means that there is no corresponding document. -or steps, whether the resolution of financial issues or property issues. Financing can begin only when there is a decree of the regional government, but it is not there yet. Of course, to avoid such Roble, all of these issues should have been dealt with in advance."
In 2012, the Leninsky Interdistrict Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Samara Region had a criminal case in production under the article “Fraud” (part 2 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The case was initially initiated in fact, and not against a specific individual. The case was initiated on the basis of an audit conducted by the prosecutor's office of the Leninsky district, which revealed that the state of SGOUN allegedly consisted of "dead souls" – employees who actually do not fulfill their work duties and, therefore, do not receive their own wages. By “dead souls,” law enforcement officers implied one of the founders of SGOUN, 57-year-old Natalya Churakova, a professor, Ph.D., spelled out in Moscow. Churakova specializes in religious studies. Her research interests are related to the study of the nature of religious and salon art images, as well as problems of philosophical education. However, the case did not last long – the rector was not questioned as a suspect. As the deputy managing partner of the "Yablokov, Lapitsky and Partners", Valery Lapitsky said the investigator, informed him and his client that the case had been closed due to the absence of a crime event.
On May 7, 2015, following the consideration of the case of an administrative offence by the magistrate of the judicial district No. 28 of the Samara Region (At the time of the inspection on 03/25/2015, the state accreditation certificates dated 30.06.2014 No. 1044, 1045 are not posted on the institution's website), the institution was found guilty, and a fine of 50 thousand rubles was imposed.
In 2017, the academy encountered difficulties in accepting applications for the recruitment of children in the first classes. A week before the announced start date of the children's enrollment (December 16), a live queue of parents began to form at the doorstep of the school. To the surprise and indignation of parents, a short announcement of this content appeared on the Academy website at 23.00 on Thursday: “Due to written requests from a large number of parents of future first-graders about the unhealthy situation caused by the actions of a group of people around the admission, the management of SGOAN made a decision on the postponement of receiving applications from 12/16/2016 on a different date. The decision regarding the new date will be announced later.”

The estate in the 3rd part of the city of Samara in the 113th quarter at the Voskresenskaya square, according to the fortress bill of sale of April 15, 1864, belonged to a hereditary honorary citizen of Samara, merchant Old Believer Ivan Lvovich Sanin. From the entire complex of buildings planned and approved by the Building Department of the Samara Provincial Government on May 4, 1864, only a wooden house (outbuilding) was erected at the corner of Samara St. and Voskresenskja Square. By 1909, according to the description, the whole complex existed. Despite the timeliness of the construction of the complex, it has the integrity of the artistic intent and compositional completeness. Initially, according to the plan, the shops, separated from each other, had separate entrances from the sales area both to the premises of the shops located on the 1st floor and to the basements, which made it possible to conduct both retail and wholesale trade. During the construction of retail stores, Sanin used a typical project for buildings of this kind, developed during the period of exemplary design from the 1840s and 50s. Similar shops were built in different parts of the city (on Trinity Square, Cathedral Street, etc.). However, in contrast to them, the shops of I.L. Sanin not undergone significant alterations, retaining its original architectural appearance.
After the death of I.L.Sanin on September 8, 1910, the estate was inherited by his wife Maria Kondratyevna Sanina (née. Podrueva) (1834–1917) – together with her husband engaged in charitable activities, in 1907 she organized a dining room for 140 people in the house on the estate on Voskresenskaya Square, in 1912 published the charter of this dining room; collected works of art and presented them to the Public Museum.
February 13, 1912 M.K.Sanina and the representative from the Samara community of Old Believers who recognized the priesthood of the Belokrinitsky hierarchy Penzin in the house of a notary Yurin made an act of donation, established by her late husband hereditary honorary citizen Ivan Lvovich Saniyyam on January 7, 1907, a free canteen in Samara named after Old Believers Ivan and Maria Sani and currently functioning under the charter approved on March 15, 1911 of the real estate belonging to her, inherited from the deceased.
In the Soviet period, buildings on the former estate of Sanin were nationalized. They did not undergo significant external restructuring. However, a change in their functional use led to the significant redevelopment of the internal space. So, for example, with the placement in the former trading building of a garment factory, the existing partitions between the shops were eliminated, a single production room was formed inside the building. The territory of the factory was separated from residential buildings on the Samarskaja St., 201 by a wooden fence and the estate of the Sanins as a single complex of buildings has ceased to exist.
