This category collects articles about unique achievements, record-holding objects, and notable phenomena of Nizhny Novgorod and the region. Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) Krai has given rise to no shortage of such entries: the most powerful nuclear weapon in history — the Tsar Bomba, developed in Sarov — was created here, and the The Piana River is considered the most winding river in the world.

Other notable objects in the category include the Nizhny Novgorod Cable Car, which links the two banks of the Volga, and Vostochny Keks, a contender for the title of the largest Easter kulich. The category also gathers information on people and events recorded in the Nizhny Novgorod Book of Records and Achievements.
