Sunset in Nizhny Novgorod
View of the city of Nizhny Novgorod during sunset.
Nizhny Novgorod (in Soviet times - Gorky) is the fifth most populated city in Russia, located on the banks of the Oka River at the confluence of the Volga. Nizhny is a surprisingly diverse city, where you will find monuments of different centuries, interspersed with breathtaking panoramas from the high Volga coast. In addition to the completely diverse architecture in Nizhny Novgorod, there are more than a dozen museums and an active cultural life that is not inferior to other major cities of Russia.
This is the city of Gorky and Chaliapin, the cradle of Russian radio and Soviet automotive industry. The city of the Volga merchants, the revolutionary labor movement, river and sea shipbuilding.
The development of the city took centuries, starting with the Kremlin and the magnificent churches of the 17th-18th centuries, continuing with merchant mansions and carved wooden houses, and by the 20th century turned into a bizarre interweaving of Art Nouveau and Russian style or, for example, pre-revolutionary working barracks and monuments of Soviet architecture.
