Almost all scientific work was carried out together with his brother (twins) prof. Igor V. Minin. Due to the book, which were dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Novosibirsk Institute of Applied Physics in April 2007, the FSB of Russia accused Oleg and his brother Igor of revealing state secrets sensitive information about projects at an institute that conducts research for the
