"Nizhny Novgorod" is a literary and arts magazine from Nizhny Novgorod, published since 2014. It is issued by the Knigi publishing house under the editorship-in-chief of Oleg Ryabov, and appears six times a year. The magazine continues the tradition of a publication of the same name that ran from 1997 to 2002: after a twelve-year break, the new magazine was registered on 20 February 2014, and its first issue came out in June of that year.[2]

Activities

The editorial board positions the magazine not only as a platform for Nizhny Novgorod authors but also as part of the all-Russian literary process.

In addition to the main magazine, the Knigi publishing house produces a companion almanac, "Zemlyaki" ("Fellow Countrymen"), also available at the "Nizhegorodskaya Starina" shop (Beketov Street, 24/2) and by mail subscription.[1] By September 2026, at least 69 issues of the magazine and 40 issues of the "Zemlyaki" almanac had been published.[1]
