Nizhny Novgorod
Nizhny Novgorod (Russian Нижний Новгород) (sometimes written in English Nizhniy-Novgorod or Nizhni Novgorod), is the third largest city in Russia, with a population of 1.5 million. It lies at the confluence of the Oka and the Volga rivers, and is the economic and cultural center of the vast Volgo-Vyatski[?] region. Nizhny Novgorod was known from 1932 to 1990 as Gorki (Gorky), after the Russian writer Maxim Gorki, who was born here in 1868. During Soviet rule, Nizhny Novgorod was closed to foreigners.According to an old saying, Saint Petersburg was the head of Russia, Moscow was the heart and Nizhny Novgorod was its pocket. Some say that Nizhny Novgorod is more Russian than both Saint Petersburg and Moscow are, because of the foreign influence to them. Many famous Russians came from the city. The physicist and the Nobel laureate in Peace for 1975 Andrei Sakharov was exiled there until 1986. Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin died in Nizhny Novgorod in 1924.
