This category gathers articles about events that have left a notable mark on the history and life of Nizhny Novgorod and its region — from medieval battles to modern-day city festivals and public campaigns. For the city, events tied to its industrial and political past carry particular significance: its closed status during the Soviet era, the reforms of the 1990s that earned Nizhny Novgorod the title of The Capital of Reforms, and anniversary celebrations, including the Celebration of the 800th Anniversary of the Founding of Nizhny Novgorod. Also featured here are materials on regular city events — City Day and Restaurant Day — as well as on historical events that directly affected the Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) Krai, such as the Battle of the Pyana.
