Nizhny Novgorod
Nizhny Novgorod is the closest Russian city to Moscow with a population of more than 1 million people. It has very beautiful embankments, and the city itself is marketed as the "capital of sunsets" for the evening views from these embankments. They are fine in the midday too.
Church of the Nativity.
Bridges of the Fedorovsky embankment.
View of the river transport terminal.
Flags on Friendship Alley. Archive street views suggest that back in 2022, the flags of the United States, Finland, South Korea, Germany, and Greece hung there, but the composition of friendly states has changed over the year.
River traffic.
Nizhny Novgorod has its own Kremlin.
And a swing with a view of it.
All restaurants and cafes on Rozhdestvenskaya Street were filled to capacity on Russia Day's eve (June 11).
A retro tram rides back and forth along Rozhdestvenskaya street.
Other trams.
A common tram stop.
Paving slabs with the year of foundation of the city.
The Kremlin funicular, which was closed back in 1927, is being restored. The equipment was ordered from the Austrian firm Doppelmayr, it seems to have been sent to the Russian Federation, but the Austrians refused to install it. So it's hard to tell when it will be opened.
The bell tower of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Kremlin. It was restored in 2021.
17th century stone houses in Zapochainye districts.
And tiles on them.
Contemporary mosaic art.
Bolshaya Pokrovskaya pedestrian street.
Assumption Church.
There are many neglected houses in Zapoichanie though.
Particularly sorry for the house of the merchant I. I. Gurov on Nizhegorodskaya Street.
Other details.
All local small tortoiseshell butterflies have their lower wings torn off.
And here are two suspects of doing this horrible crime.
Getting in (as of June 2023): many express trains from Moscow. The car trip will be rather long and tiresome.
Where to eat: Mitrich banket hall on Kovalikhinskaya street.
