This category brings together articles about villages and settlements located in the immediate vicinity of Nizhny Novgorod. The suburban zone of the city is diverse: old villages with churches and prayer houses stand alongside Soviet-era settlements that grew up around research institutions, and large villages administratively belonging to neighboring districts of the region. Among the notable entries in this category are Fedyakovo (village), a large suburb in Kstovo District, as well as The village of Selektsiya and the adjoining Berezovy Klin (settlement), both of which grew up around a plant-breeding station. Special mention should be made of Gnilitsy, with its Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, which has preserved the historical memory of these places.
