The young Lady on my photograph is Nelly, our chief-translator onboard of M/S Furmanov. She is a student from Rostov-na-Donu and absolutely perfect in German !

wonderful city , when I was there , it just had been freshly allowed to tourists ;it was forbidden to foreigners before , when its CCCP name was Gorki
So beautiful and interesting city...it is not far away from my hometown, I have to visit it once! Thanks, the tips are really great!
so very nice city! I had an idea (twice) this year, to visit the city but both times it was delayed. your page tell me that the city is worth visiting
GReat page! Nishni NOwgorod was not open for foreign tourists, when I did the cruise from Kazan to Moscow in 1989. Danke für die Geburtstagswünsche. Ulrike
Love your emphasis on architecture, sculptures, and churches. An interesting and educational group of tips, which I enjoyed so much.
Hallo Michael, another great page of interesting tips ! I often considered to take a river- cruise through Russia, now I'm really eager to take off ! Greetings! Willy
Hi Michael, great that you were able to take a cruise to this lovely place, and had such a good translator. That "Lady with the Mirror" is a clever and unusual statue. Also the mother and son and of course the postman with his bicycle.
I deserve a "Strafe" for not visiting N.Novgorod still, ha-ha! Though "off limits rule" didn't concern me all the times! Thank you for a look at this ancient Russian city from a point of view a foreigner - some thoughts looked very touching and amusing!
I've been to that Gorki museum too! Great page about the city center. I've actually walked to the big yellow church that you saw from afar. Didn't see the giant staircase as I was standing on top! Should make my own page one day...
Michael, excellent page about your time in Nizhniy Novgorod. So you were there on victory day, while I was on that day in Kamyanets-Podilsky (UA) where they also celebrated this event.
