This category brings together articles about places, people, events, and phenomena connected with the history and identity of Nizhny Novgorod and its region. Here are gathered materials about the symbols of the city and the region — from the The Kremlin and the The Dyatlov Mountains to Svetloyar — as well as articles on industrial and cultural heritage, including the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ) and Pushkin's Bolshoye Boldino.
The theme of patriotism is treated broadly: alongside serious historical subjects sit ironic and polemical pieces about the authorities, popular myths, and everyday city life, reflecting the living attitude of Nizhny Novgorod residents toward their own history.
