Business in Nizhny Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod Region

Nizhny Novgorod mentality

Business in Nizhny Novgorod also has a certain set of specific traits. First, no one tries to draw potential customers' attention with originality or a sense of humor. While St. Petersburg comfortably supports names like "Kantselyarskaya Krysa" ("Office Rat," a stationery shop) and "Anarkhist" ("Anarchist," a café), in Nizhny Novgorod the height of daring is a pet-supply shop called "Chetyre s Khvostikom" ("Four and a Tail") and a butcher shop called "Raskolbas" (a pun combining "sausage" and "mess"). An abundance of dull, meaningless names for shops, cafés, cinemas, and so on is a characteristic feature of Nizhny Novgorod.

Second, the behavior of business owners themselves is telling. Whereas Yekaterinburg, for example, is known for an abundance of business magazines in which entrepreneurs openly state their opinions on any issue and candidly discuss their business strategies and life priorities, in Nizhny Novgorod business prefers to stay quiet, and when it does speak, it does so so cautiously, dully, and in such vague, noncommittal phrases that visitors get the firm impression that freedom of speech is brutally suppressed in Nizhny Novgorod, or that all businessmen devoutly follow the creed of Molchalin (a servile, opinion-fearing character from Griboyedov's play) that "one must not dare to have an opinion of one's own."
