The wealth of the Russian state lies in its people, in its cities with their indescribable unique flavor. Cities are small and large, young and old, living their own separate lives and preserving history for many years. Generations change, the speed of life changes, progress rushes in rapidly, and only the city foundation has been accumulating its treasury of wisdom for centuries, with proud benevolence.
Childhood
Nizhny Novgorod is a city to which a separate chapter in the history of Russia can be dedicated. The official founding date is June 12, 1221. In 2019, Nizhny Novgorod turns 797 years old. The modest and silent city stands on both banks of the fast Oka River at its confluence with the wide Volga River.
The location was not chosen by chance. Hundreds of years ago, in 1221, the famous governor, Grand Duke Yuri Vsevolodovich, founded a defensive point at the crossroads of two rivers and called it Novgorod-Nizovskaya land. It is from this date that it is customary to calculate how old the city is. The border of the Vladimir principality was often attacked by the Mari, Erzyans, Mokshans and Volga Bulgars. It was the mouth of the river that became the gathering place for Suzdal and Murom troops. Regarding the unambiguous determination of how many years ago the city was founded, historians and archaeologists have not come to a common opinion.
In 1341, Nizhny Novgorod was given the status of the capital of the Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod principality.
For many years, the city served as a reliable stronghold in military campaigns and served as a barrier to third-party invaders. More than once these walls stopped the enemy. The attack of 60 thousand troops, led by the Kazan Khan Muhammad-Amin, was honorably withstood and repulsed. The fame of Nizhny Novgorod's military power spread throughout the country. After the capture of the Kazan Khanate, the Nizhny Novgorod guard fortifications lost their relevance.
Youth
At the beginning of the 16th century, instead of a wooden watchtower, the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin was erected from stone. Construction took more than 10 years. The unique architectural structure has survived to this day. The powerful image of the Middle Ages is a symbol of the unity of generations and winds like a red thread through the entire history of the city. Multi-tiered towers, built from blank impregnable walls, adorn the corners of the fortification. The length of the wall is 2045 m, height - 12 m. The Dmitrievskaya Tower (the main defensive point) has been decorated with the gilded emblem of the city - a walking deer - for many years.
During times of unrest, the military troops of Nizhny Novgorod provided support to Moscow. The Nizhny Novgorod militia, led by Kozma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, had a significant influence on the outcome of the fight against the Polish-Lithuanian invaders.
Later, in the middle of the 17th century, there was an active struggle against the settlements of the Old Believers, which were formed as a result of the schism of the Orthodox Church. Nizhny Novgorod had to see and overcome the physical and moral power of man.
During the reign of Peter I, the city received the status of a province, after which its long path to its fundamental structure began.
The beginning of the 19th century was marked by the transfer of the largest fair in Russia to the left bank of the Oka. This event had a beneficial effect on the economic boom in the development of the City and surrounding areas. A huge urban development project changed the life of the military fortification, forming a new trend that made it possible to position Nizhny Novgorod as a “pocket of Russia.”
The stages of rapid development of the city’s life support spheres included the emergence of large industrial enterprises, engineering and transport support, the formation of higher educational institutions, etc.
An important event at the end of the 19th century was the appearance of the first modern tram in Russia and the construction of elevators.
Boyhood
The onset of the 20th century was marked for Novgorod by troubled and difficult times for many years. The formation of Soviet power, the civil war and the First World War.
The Nizhny Novgorod pride and heritage of Russia - the fair - was banned. The wording used was “a phenomenon of a socially hostile nature.” The territories of the Nizhny Novgorod province were significantly abolished.
In the 1930s there was a rapid upsurge in the city's industry. The famous All-Union car production plant was built - GAZ, an aircraft plant, a fat plant, etc. The growth of industry gave impetus to the expansion of the population. The city boundaries were moved along the rivers.
It was the industrial significance of the city (at that time - the city of Gorky) that played a big role in the manifestation of aggressive close attention from the Nazi invader. Nizhny Novgorod was subjected to merciless bombing. This practically destroyed the city's infrastructure. Significant objects required rapid restoration. It was the priority of speed in this matter that played a bad joke in the future fate of Nizhny Novgorod.
At the end of the 50s, the city received the status of “closed” for many years, which was due to the large territorial concentration of the defense industry.
Historical justice was restored on October 22, 1990. The city was returned to its former name - Nizhny Novgorod. And at the same time, the possibility of restoring its former power and glory. For example, the Nizhny Novgorod Fair, known for centuries, was revived.
