A History of Nizhny Novgorod

Book Details
About this book:

A History of Nizhny Novgorod At the meeting of the Volga and Oka rivers, Nizhny Novgorod has stood for nearly eight centuries as a crossroads of trade, war, faith, and ambition. *A History of Nizhny Novgorod* brings this remarkable city to life, tracing its journey from a thirteenth-century wooden fortress to a center of commerce, revolution, industry, and modern technology.

Spanning Mongol conquest, the 1612 uprising, Peter the Great’s reforms, the great Volga fairs, Soviet industrialization, wartime sacrifice, and post-Soviet transformation, this book reveals how local lives shaped—and were shaped by—the great currents of Russian history. Vivid, accessible, and deeply researched, it is essential reading for anyone curious about one of Russia’s most enduring cities.
