Nizhny Novgorod
Description:
Nizhny Novgorod, colloquially shortened as Nizhny, is the fifth largest city in Russia. It is the economic and cultural center of the vast Volga-Vyatka economic region, and also the administrative center of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and Volga Federal District. Nizhny Novgorod was founded on the confluence of the two great Russian rivers - the Volga and the Oka - by Prince Yuri (George) Vsevolodovich in 1221 as a strong standpoint of defending the Russian frontiers from Mordvinians, Cheremisians and Tatars. The City got its name "Nizhny" may be because of its location on the "Lower" lands comparing with Novgorod.
