Nizhny Novgorod: Russia's Hidden Gem

[@irina8725]

Nizhny Novgorod is called the city of students. There are many students and higher educational institutions there. The most famous are: Medical Academy, Pedagogical University, Lobachevsky University, Linguistic University, Polytechnic Academy, Academy of Water Transport Engineers and many others.

As much as I love Moscow and other beautiful cities, I think this would be the first city of choice. Close enough to Moscow to get in on occasion and prices here would be very reasonable. It feels very old indeed. Incredible. Old but modern. The Orthodox church is awe inspiring......makes you cry. As clean and beautiful as this city is, it is surprising the graffiti is not swept away.

old world charm with scenic beauty with lots of potential for western migrants to bring new flavours that Russians may enjoy, as far as the graffiti goes it doesnt take much to paint over a wall and with an invitation by the Russian President for this town to be opened to western immigration in gratitude and to show appreciation a group of volunteers could clean it up quickly, ..Russia is saying , here you go have a good look at this town and see how you can fit in and help it grow and beautify it...sometimes you just have to start with small beginnings

Nizhny looks like the kind of place I'd want to settle over Moscow or St. Petersburg. Visiting the other cities would be great, or maybe spending a first year in them, renting an apartment and getting acclimated. But, I'd rather live somewhere that's not as bustling and huge.

[@irina8725]

Previously, Nizhny Novgorod was called Gorky in honor of the writer Maxim Gorky, who lived there. In the 90s, the city was returned to its former historical name.

[@MoscowPhotog]

Thank you for the historical facts!

[@frankciccone8559]

Since Nihzny is the "capital of everything", I guess that includes graffiti. Thanks for an authentic video, as I have heard they are welcoming immigration there.

[@MoscowPhotog]

Hoping they take the message to heart and clean it up. Nizhny Novgorod is a beautiful city.

[@frankciccone8559]

@ it is indeed. Important that the vid you put out was a quick walk about on a grey day. Watched a much longer driving video of Nizhny on a sunny fall day, starting from the suburbs and winding through the city pretty much end to end. From this you get the very old historic and very well planned new. Beautiful city.

In the section that you thought looked like Mexico or Cuba (which it does not), there is not a single building from the Soviet period. These are all 19th or possibly early 20th cent. classical Russian/Central European buildings. The colors that impressed you were chosen by the renovating designer, I am sure.

В России эти граффити оставляют подростки хулиганы. Настоящие преступные банды таким не занимаются. Во многих городах есть «банды», но это почти всегда подростки, и они делятся по районам. Но никаких перестрелок, убийств и тому подобное. Максимум, что происходит - драки между районами, но уже лет 10 о таких случаях не слышал. В общем, эти граффити никакого смысла не несут вообще

[@MoscowPhotog]

В целом, граффити действительно имеют смысл. Не оправдывайте хулиганов. Это выглядит грязно. Мое послание - просто уберите это, иначе западные люди будут избегать.

[@ЮлияБондаренко-ф4я]

@@MoscowPhotog немного "неидеальной" России)) западным людям надо понять, что здесь хорошее, но не идеальное место для жизни. Люди, которые приедут за идеалом, быстро разочаруются при первой же неидеальной встрече с реальностью. Лучше таким не тратить свои ресурсы и не приезжать. Плохое есть в любой стране. Лучше не ждать многого и наоборот, обрадоваться тому, что реальность оказалась лучше ожиданий.

[@herbalannie7707]

Yes some of the buildings did remind me of Mexico. For me it would be too large of a city to live in. I like the country and small communities. My question is why are they promoting westerners to take up residence there? What do the locals think? Maybe some of the graffiti was negative towards foreigners.

[@MoscowPhotog]

No, the grafitti is not in any way negative toward foreigners. The regional government wants to attract tourists and residents to the area. The economic future of the area is bright and it will need people to work in industry and to support the local economy. It's a good program.

[@ЮлияБондаренко-ф4я]

Отношение местных жителей к вам будет зависеть только от вас. Сначала отношение будет очень доброжелательным, это бонус, а потом будет зависеть от вашего отношения к нам. Если примете нашу культуру, язык, хотя бы на минимальном уровне, наши ценности, будете чувствовать себя в России лучше, чем дома. А граффити - это элемент молодежной субкультуры, как правило это спортивные клубы, музыкальные группы. Они не несут никакого негатива. Но за них наказывают.

[@ЮлияБондаренко-ф4я]

Почему поощряют переезжать иностранцев. У нас пока спад рождаемости, как и везде на Западе. В России живет сейчас 143 миллиона человек при необходимом минимуме в 300 миллионов. У нас был сильный отток населения в 90-е годы, когда из-за плохой жизни многие эмигрировали на Запад. Правительство хочет вернуть тех, кто уехал, есть программы по возвращению соотечественников. И привлечь в нашу страну иностранцев, но не всех, а с похожими культурными и духовными ценностями, которые вольются в наше общество. Земли и ресурсов для хорошей жизни достаточно, конкуренции не будет. Эмиграцию из других стран, которые создают большие проблемы и не интегрируются в наше общество, живут своими диаспорами, правительство наоборот сейчас ограничивает.

[@Flyskyhigh_G]

​@@MoscowPhotog Well more likely they will not point it on map indeed, because it is not widely known abroad as Moscow, but the fact is that Nizhny is considered as quite significant city as its population is over 1.2 million people which hardly makes it a town or village, for example Munich is 1.5 million and is considered as one of the biggest cities in Germany, or Frankfurt which is just 700 000+ (and many European capitals are twice smaller than Nizhny by population). Even by Russian standards its not a small city or town. Just cities like Nizhny or Kazan seem relatively small compared to Moscow or SPB but is still a known place within the country.
