It's false to say that Vladimir Lenin died in Nizhny Novgorod. According to my reliable sources it happend in the subburb of Moscow called Gorky.
the native of N.N.
I was just reading the Novosibirsk and Nizhny Novgorod pages and it seems that both claim to be the third largest city in Russia. Which one is it? Timc 16:49, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)
As the result of the population changes, Novosibirsk (1999 estimate 1,402,100) is believed to have recently outgrown Nizhny Novgorod (1999 estimate 1,361,500). Many people do not look up or trust the recent estimate data and continue to regard Nizhny Novgorod as the third largest city in Russia, which is not far from the truth.
Actually, NN is the 5th largest city in Russia. But it used to be the third. As NN-inhabitants are snobbish and like to live in the third largest city of Russia, they are neglecting new data about population of Russian city. It's funny but NN-inhabitants also think they live in the third capital of Russia, meanwhile the rest of Russia's poplation have never heard about "third capital of Russia" ;-))) --Matacob 08:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is a shameless lie to allege that NN-inhabitants are "snobbish". City authorities have no real achievements to boast, and that's why they blow their own trumpet about "the third capital". Most NN-inhabitants are reasonable and sober people who: a) don't trust the trumpet, b) don't participate in blowing mayor's trumpet, c) are apathetic to the idea.--Achp ru 19:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gorky?
Funny how tricky russian language can be when transliterated :^) Yes N.N. was Gorky, and Lenin died in Gorky, but N.N. is rather Gorkiy and Gorky is rather Gorki.
[edit] Association de Amigos de Gorki
Hi, I see, you insist on inserting a mention about Association of friends of Gorki, I appreciate international cultural solidarity, and sure, there are mentions of such things as sister cities, but it feels a little odd to see this mention in history section, but this is quiete manifested thing, like you get posters mentioning this programs, days of culture of say Tampere in N.N. Even though you Amigos de Gorki were first foreigners to set foot on this city after a long time of being a closed city, but it does not establish an inhererent notability to go into history of the city itself, just next to Minin, Pozharsky, Makariev Fair, Stroganov, and Gorki. I'm sorry I love this organisation, but I'm afraid I can not allow it in history section.–Gnomz007(?) 19:41, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gorky Re-Rename Date 1990/1991?
The article lists two dates. 1990 at the top and '91 in the middle. Which is right?
[edit] Watford
Sorry but Watford is twinned with Novgorod NOT Nizhny Novgorod.
[edit] History section?
Shouldn't this mention more of the modern history? Wasn't it a closed city for a time? JoshuaZ 04:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Mc seem 06:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Yes, it became an open city in 1991, maybe it makes sense to mention about that.
I think the history srction needs to be expanded. Nevertheless it doesn't mean that History and Economy Sections can be merged. I think it's a good idea to redivide them since "Information Technologies" and "Engeeniring ndustry" chapters have nothing to do with History.
