NERO is an all-modern superyacht with classically-inspired lines. She was designed in the ’spirit of Corsair’ - a yacht launched in the 1930s and belonging to famed American financier, J.P. Morgan. NERO embodies all the glamour of yachting’s golden age and is widely regarded as an icon of the superyacht world thanks to her style, sophistication, and superlative onboard amenities.

NERO, the queen of any anchorage anywhere in the world, has an all-new state-of-the-art gym on the sun deck with top-of-the-range Technogym kit including a Kinesis, treadmill, cross trainer and a cardio bike. You will also find loose weights and everything needed for yoga and pilates including a qualified physical trainer as part of the crew.

Another new feature is the beauty salon on the upper deck, complete with a professional Nilo chair, which not only enables manicures, pedicures and hair treatments, but also converts into a massage table. After your treatment by the crew's very own beautician and masseuse you can freshen up in the en suite bathroom and shower and emerge energised and ready to take on the world. She also has a second massage room if you need a change of scene.

Outside she looks utterly immaculate following a full repaint and deck refresh. Inside the great Laura Pomponi has introduced new handmade carpets throughout and a new hardwood floor in the sky lounge, new soft furnishings and fabrics, new sofas in the main guest areas and a scattering of new artworks.

Younger guests will also be delighted to know about the upgraded Icon AV/IT system, which enables streaming for all devices and a genuinely theatrical experience in the observation lounge cinema. They will also be delighted to find out about the two new pizza ovens in the completely rebuilt galley.

It's not just NERO that's received all the love, her distinctive 9.5m Corsair custom-built tender has been completely refitted so guests can arrive in impeccable style. Add a new inflatable waterslide and five box-fresh SeaBobs to an already packed toy garage and it's clear that NERO is in absolutely tip-top charter condition.

Motor Yacht

Superyacht Nero is an incredible vessel whose sleek lines and classic exterior heralds the golden age of private yachting. Styled to resemble J.Pierpont Morgan’s famous yacht Corsair, Nero was completed in 2008 by Corsair Yachts’ at the Chinese shipyard, Yantai Raffles. With a huge promenade deck, numerous exterior seating and dining areas as well as an arsenal of luxurious amenities and incredible water toys, Nero is the premier charter yacht for those wanting to entertain or just bask in the sumptuous atmosphere of a truly elegant vessel.

Nero has a top speed of 17 knots and an economical cruising speed of twelve knots, Nero is fast, quiet and exceedingly comfortable. The dazzling interior enjoys traditional panelling of Limed Oak and Ash throughout, completing the gorgeous feel of the vintage yachting era. Nero is able to accommodate twelve guests within her lovely walls: an immense Owner’s suite, two immense suites and two twin cabins. The Owner’s suite is effectively a duplex apartment with full beam living quarters on the main deck, where there is a stateroom with his and hers bathrooms and a central shared dressing room. The Owner’s study, large and with windows on three sides, lays aft of this and holds a relaxation area with a writing desk, private dining area and a sixty five inch plasma TV. A large drop down screen in front of the fireplace can be lowered to transform this area into the yachts indoor cinema. From the observation lounge is the Owner’s oval office which has its own entry door from the port side deck for discreet arrivals and departures. Guest accommodations lie amidships on the lower deck with two spacious suites separated by two centrally located twin cabins. The aft suite has a sitting room, stateroom and his and hers bathrooms as well as a central dressing room; this suite can be divided into two separate cabins with their own bathrooms. The forward suite has a sitting room, stateroom, large VIP bathroom with spa bath, walk-in shower and separate WC. Both of the twin cabins can be configured as twin or double cabins. All of the cabins and sitting rooms feature large plasma TV’s and every bathroom contains both a tub and a shower. WiFi is available throughout the ship’s public and private areas.

Nero’s exterior features a quantity of the highest quality Burmese Teak and has been configured so that the main deck is the principle entertaining area for large gathering with the aft deck table being ideally suited for over-sized dinner parties. The spacious main salon, library and dining salon also offer the ability to entertain on a grand scale. The boat deck aft features a fifty inch pop-up TV and drop down movie screen making it a popular area for alfresco entertainment and relaxation. The Snug is a fantastic place to escape from the midday heat or to host a cozy meal. Other onboard facilities include a gym, Jacuzzi, five metre pool on the foredeck with a current machine and an incredible eighteen foot side hatch that acts as a beach platform for swimming, diving and yacht access.

Nero comes equipped with a serious battery of toys and tenders: two Seabobs, five jet skis and an assortment of water toys as well as a nine metre custom cabin cruiser, eight metre custom tender and a five metre RIB tender.

Boat of the Week: The 295-Foot ‘Nero’ Was Inspired by a Classic Superyacht From 1930

The new interior and gym on 295-ft. nero, built to resemble jp morgan's corsair iv, show how a classic-looking yacht can stay thoroughly modern., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

Superyacht fans around the world will instantly recognize Nero , the one-of-a-kind 295-footer that defines the term “modern classic.” First launched from Corsair Yachts in 2007, Nero was commissioned as a replica of the famed 300-foot Corsair IV owned by J.P. Morgan, which, when launched in 1930, was the world’s largest yacht.

British entrepreneur Neil Taylor loved the look of Corsair IV , but didn’t want the expense of restoring a vintage yacht—which would’ve been impossible with Corsair , since it had transitioned into a high-end cruise ship in Asia and eventually sank off the coast of Mexico. Instead, Taylor set about building a beautiful replica with a modern hull and interior.

Taylor actually established the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China and hired 400 workers to build the yacht, which took nearly four years to complete. Two years after her delivery, she took Best Motor Yacht over 246 feet in the ShowBoats International Design Awards. The 1930s lookalike has since undergone two major refits, the latest just completed at San Giorgio del Porto in Genoa, Italy, to become an even more modern version of the original classic.

Nero’s new gym was installed to make the yacht more relevant in today’s superyacht world. 

“ Nero ’s original build was fairly complex, so this refit was a great opportunity to technically upgrade her to the latest regulations,” Capt. Marcel Busse told Robb Report . “I’ve overseen numerous large refits on other boats, but this one takes the cake on many levels.”

The icing on that cake is the sundeck gym filled with Technogym equipment, including a Kinesis, treadmill, cross trainer and cardio bike. The area also has loose weights, yoga and Pilates equipment and, naturally, a certified physical trainer is part of the crew. A large Jacuzzi just steps away on the sundeck makes a perfect post-workout de-stressor.

“It used to be a ‘snug’ salon, but was underused,” says Busse. “Now it’s a fully-fledged gym with mirror-fronted storage lockers, fridge and TV. We’ve got a lot of space on the sun deck, which is monstrous compared to other boats of her size.” An 18.7-foot-long resistance pool is also located on the foredeck. The original gym has become a beauty salon and massage area.

The interior was also updated with lighter-colored woods and decor for a Hampton’s beach-cottage look. 

Nero ’s owners have been careful to preserve its inimitable historical look, including the long bowsprit and yellow funnel in the center. The sleek exterior lines that herald the golden age of yachting haven’t been touched, though her striking black hull and superstructure have received a fresh coat of paint. One key area that has been rehabbed: The air-conditioning system, which could spell the difference between heaven and misery on such a large yacht. “It’s key for a black-hulled boat like Nero ,” says Busse.

Nero underwent a nine-month refit five years ago that included an updated interior by designer Laura Pomponi. “The owners spent a lot of time and money in 2016 upgrading the interior from dark wood to lime-washed wood with light-colored carpets,” says Busse. “We’ve maintained the lime wash and given the interior a Hamptons beach-house vibe.”

Pomponi was brought back for Nero ’s most recent refit, giving the interior turquoise hues with blue and red accents. Handmade carpets run throughout, including the owner’s duplex suite with separate lounge, study and his-and-hers bathrooms. Most soft furnishings, fabrics and sofas have been replaced. In the sky lounge bar, a new maple-and-oak hardwood floor delivers a wow factor in what looks like a classic yacht.

For onboard entertainment, a newly installed and upgraded Icon Connect AV/IT system delivers the latest technology. A collection of water toys, including an inflatable slide, keep everyone happy in the water.

As part of the refit, Nero ’s original custom 31-ft. limousine tender also got a makeover, with new paint and varnish, upholstery and interior lights to update her classic beauty.

Despite the classic look, Busse says the yacht has a modern hull that cruises well at 14 knots, while consuming the same amount of fuel most yachts her size would use at 12 knots. “She has two sets of stabilizers, giving her four in total, so she’s quite stable,” he says.

Nero and her tender are instantly recognizable anywhere in the world. 

Nero is available for charter in the Med through Burgess Yachts, with weekly charters starting at about $590,000.

The long tale of the yacht linked to a Russian oligarch and abandoned in the Caribbean for more than 2 years finally draws to a close

• An undisclosed buyer picked up the Alfa Nero for $40 million last week.
• The yacht was originally seized from a Russian oligarch in 2022.
• The sale ended an ownership tug-of-war, which included ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

An undisclosed buyer has finally stepped up to the helm of the Alfa Nero superyacht, ending a two-year-long saga, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

That buyer agreed last week to pay $40 million, a huge discount to the $67.6 million that former Google CEO Eric Schmidt bid last year, a deal he eventually abandoned.

The Antigua and Barbuda government sold the superyacht, which houses an infinity pool that converts to a helipad or dancefloor.

The massively discounted price can be attributed to authorities' need "to get the boat sold," Richard Higgins, a broker who represented the buyer, told Bloomberg.

Higgins said the European buyer, whose identify was kept secret, intends to put the superyacht on the charter market.

The person "is not included in the sanctions list of any country or institution," Ronald Sanders, Antigua and Barbuda's ambassador to the US, told Bloomberg.

The 267-foot-vessel was seized by Antigua and Barbuda authorities after it was linked to Russian oligarch Andrey Guryev, who was accused by the US Treasury Department of having close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Guryev is the founder of Phosagro, Europe's largest producer of phosphate fertilizers, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index .

The Alfa Nero was among dozens of superyachts seized following global sanctions against Putin's closest associates, which led to billions of dollars in frozen assets.

The Alfa Nero's maiden owner was Guryev, who purchased the vessel for $120 million, according to the US Treasury and the Antigua and Barbuda government . The Russian billionaire had adamantly denied ownership.

After the vessel was seized in 2022, it remained docked in Antigua's Falmouth Harbour, which cost residents of the Caribbean nation $28,000 in weekly tax dollars for maintenance, which took as many as 44 crew members . The superyacht was then valued at $81 million.

In 2023, the Antigua and Barbuda government put the Alfa Nero up for auction, citing hazards due to a lack of maintenance.Eric Schmidt initially won the bidding, for $67.6 million , but eventually backed out after Guryev's daughter claimed ownership of the superyacht.

The most recent acquisition of the Alfa Nero finally ends its ownership limbo, during which it racked up millions of dollars in port fees under the custody of the Antigua and Barbuda authorities, Darwin Telemaque, the Alfa Nero's port manager, told Bloomberg.

Last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that Antigua and Barbuda taxpayers were footing a $28,000-a-week bill to maintain the Alfa Nero, including the salary of an Italian captain and $2,000-a-day in diesel to keep its air conditioning running. That's because if the AC is turned off, it could let mold spread throughout the vessel and ruin the hardwood interior or a Joan Miró painting onboard, per the WSJ.

The yacht features a pool and a host of swimming options that include water slides from the top deck and a swimming platform. The boat has a host of water toys, including jet skis and towable toys.

The exterior design of the NERO yacht is by Neil Taylor and is inspired by the elegance of the 1920s.

The vessel is truly outstanding on the water and features streamlined exterior lines and a classic appearance.

Rigging, a yellow funnel, a black hull, and a cream upper body give NERO a distinguished appearance on the water. She is a custom build from Yantai CIMC Raffles Shipyard in China and was delivered in 2007.

More recently, she underwent major refits in 2021, adding many more luxury features, including the furnishings in the interior.

Superyacht abandoned by a Russian fertilizer billionaire has a new secret owner, who got it for a huge discount

The Alfa Nero superyacht, which has been abandoned in the Caribbean for more than two years, has a new owner.

The 267-foot (81-meter) vessel, complete with a baby grand piano and a swimming pool that turns into a helipad, sold for $40 million last week, said Ronald Sanders, Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the US. He declined to name the buyer, citing a confidentiality agreement.

The sale marks the latest attempt to end the years-long Alfa Nero saga. A Russian oligarch abandoned the luxury yacht in Antigua in March 2022, after being sanctioned by the US Treasury. Then tech billionaire Eric Schmidt tried buying it at auction, only to  give up  when the sale became a legal quagmire. 

Meanwhile, the vessel sat in Antigua’s Falmouth Harbour being tended to by a skeleton crew and costing over a $100,000 a month to maintain.

At $40 million, the new Alfa Nero owner will end up paying far less than the $67.6 million that Schmidt, a former Google CEO, had offered last year. Sanctioned Russian fertilizer billionaire Andrey Guryev had originally bought the Alfa Nero in 2014 for $120 million, the US Treasury Department said — which Guryev denies. 

His daughter, Yulia Gurieva-Motlokhov, later stepped forward to claim ownership of the yacht, triggering a legal dispute.

“It’s not worth 40 million, it’s worth way more,” said Richard Higgins, a broker with Northrop & Johnson who represented the undisclosed buyer. “They needed to get the boat sold.”

Higgins said the new owner is European and will likely put the Alfa Nero on the charter market.

The Alfa Nero is among more than a dozen superyachts pinned down in ports around the globe after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought a series of economic sanctions against Russian oligarchs. Many of the vessels have been stuck in limbo amid costly legal disputes and racking up maintenance costs.

The Phi superyacht has been moored in London since 2022 while other vessels are stuck in Italy and Spain. There’s also the Amadea, a 348-foot ship with a lobster tank and hand-painted clouds on the dining-room ceiling, which was seized from its alleged oligarch owner in Fiji and now sits in California. Last month, a New York court denied the US government’s request to sell the Amadea, Voice of America  reported .

Alfa Nero’s new owner “is not included in the sanctions list of any country or institution,” Ambassador Sanders said.

The latest attempt to sell the Alfa Nero was brokered through a private contract, the port manager, Darwin Telemaque, said in a phone call. He also declined to name the buyer. Telemaque expects the proceeds will cover the millions of dollars in port fees the Alfa Nero has racked up.

“I am very happy that the ship is no longer the responsibility of the people and the government of Antigua and Barbuda,” he said.

81m Oceanco superyacht Alfa Nero finds new owner

The 81.3-metre Alfa Nero has been sold for $40 million with Northrop & Johnson's Richard Higgins bringing the buyer and assistance from FEMA Management (Federal Emergency Management Agency) on the side of the seller. According to Northrop & Johnson, the yacht was on the market just ten days before closing. 

The sale brings two years of legal wrangling and issues around unpaid crew wages to an end, following the yacht's arrest in 2022. At the time, she was put under investigation amid allegations that her owner was sanctioned and was later declared "abandoned" by the government of Antigua and Barbuda.

"The proceeds from the sale will be used to fulfill various obligations, including settling outstanding debts owed to creditors and the crew since the yacht’s arrival," read a statement by the Antigua Newsroom. "In addition to covering these debts, a portion of the proceeds will be allocated to address the $220 million funding gap [in the local government] recorded for the first half of 2024".

In June 2023, between her abandonment and current sale, she was sold at auction to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt for $67,000,677 but the sale was not finalised due to legal complications. This could be referring to a last-minute application by Flying Dutchman Overseas Limited (understood to be the registered owner of the vessel) to block the sale ahead of the auction.

Since then, "the extended stay of the vessel has presented significant financial, environmental, and other challenges for Antigua and Barbuda," according to a government spokesperson. Issues around vessel maintenance, fuel costs, legal fees and unpaid crew wages were all under scrutiny since the yacht's seizure.

Alfa Nero is notable for her aft deck pool which stretches 12 metres and can be raised to form a helipad or dancefloor- a feature that was especially impressive when the yacht was delivered in 2007. Nuvolari Lenard is responsible for her exterior design.

Secret Buyer Pays $40 Million for Ditched Alfa Nero Superyacht

“Alfa Nero”: the former mega yacht of Gianna Angelopoulou sold for 40 million dollars

For the last few years it has been tied up in antigua - the failed 2023 auction, the prohibitive maintenance costs and its history.

After many adventures, the mega yacht Alfa Nero , which previously belonged to the couple of Theo and Gianna Angelopoulou, but in recent years was tied up in Antigua, has passed to a new owner.

According to local media and international yachting specialist websites, the impressive 82-metre yacht was sold for $40 million including a 4.5% broker’s fee and will be managed by the Swiss company FEMA Marine (Federal Emergency Management Agency). An amount considered “low” for such a luxury yacht.

It will be recalled that the yacht was seized by the Antiguan government in March 2022, when it was found to belong to a Russian businessman who was included on international sanctions lists issued by the US, the European Union, and the UK following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

At the request of US authorities, the luxury yacht was forcibly “tied up” in the port of Falmouth, Antigua, as it was banned from refueling except for emergency supplies and certainly from sailing.

Russian oligarch Andrei Guriev had bought the Alfa Nero in 2014 for $130 million.

Although anchored, the vessel had become a “headache” for the Antiguan government as it cost around $28,000 a week, not including food and salaries for crew members. It should be noted that the diesel engines have to be run for maintenance purposes, as air conditioning is necessary around the clock to prevent damage to the interiors which are decorated with expensive materials such as wood, leather and mother-of-pearl.

Somehow, the US Treasury Department was asked to lift sanctions on the vessel so that it could be sold and thus relieve the small Caribbean nation of high maintenance costs.

The “green light” was given and an auction followed in 2023 in which several “suitors” participated. In that process, however, the highest bidder was former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who submitted a bid of $67.6 million. But shortly before the final signatures fell, the Russian oligarch’s daughter Yulia Gurieva-Motlokov blocked the auction, claiming that the impressive yacht belonged to her and not her father.

In the next “episode”, in September 2023, Eric Schmidt withdrew his bid and the Alfa Nero continued its costly stay in Antigua. Almost a year later, it was announced that the superyacht had changed hands for $40 million.

Its features and history

Alfa Nero was built in 2007 for Theodoros Angelopoulos at the Dutch shipyards Oceano, with the exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and the interior by renowned interior designer Alberto Pinto.

She can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in six luxurious cabins, as well as a crew of 26. It naturally has all the amenities imaginable, and stands out for its infinity pool that converts into a helipad.

Powered by twin MTU engines, she cruises comfortably at 15 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 20 knots with a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles. Significantly, in 2008 it won 7 international awards for its design and overall capabilities and benefits.

For as long as it remained in the hands of Theo and Gianna Angelopoulou, it hosted many famous personalities, such as American film director Steven Spielberg, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, etc.

According to reports, the Angelopoulos family attempted to sell it in 2009 for $190 million, but to no avail. Finally in 2011 it was transferred to the Cayman Islands-based Flying Dutchman Overseas Ltd. At that stage it was chartered for cruises to the Greek islands and the Mediterranean for $1 million per week. It then passed into the hands of Russian oligarch Andrey Guriev.

Following the latest developments, the Alfa Nero has made a reappearance on international yacht charter websites, with prices as high as 840,000 euros a week.

Written by Eva Belanyiova

The result of a wonderful passion for creating ship models is this 1:50 scale model of the 126-metre luxury motor yacht OCTOPUS , which was built by the prestigious German shipyard Lurssen in 2003. Jurgen Goller and Roland Hache constructed the 2,52 metre superyacht OCTOPUS model and presented it for the first time on water this September. Roland Hache also built a model of the motor yacht Lady Lola (see picture at the bottom of the article).

Scale model of the motor yacht Octopus

It took two years to build the Octopus Yacht Model and she was built based only on pictures and different photos found on the internet. The two friends had absolutely no access to the general plans, layout drawings or any other designs of the original yacht.

Model of the luxury yacht Octopus

The hull of the Octopus Yacht Model was constructed in GFK and ABS, polyester and wood were used for the rest of the parts. The railing was created using different metal parts.

Scale model of the luxury yacht Octopus - the model is 2,52m long

Weighing 62kg, the model is fitted with 2 Bosch electrical engines and has a lead acid battery of 12 V – 7,5 Ah with a duration of about 4 hours. It has impressive 460 led lights on its five decks, which can be regulated thanks to a dimmer, showing her elegant silhouette when put on water at night.

In addition to all this, Jurgen is planning on adding some special features, such as a music player, smoke generator and sound module to create the appropriate, more realistic, cruising sound.

La verdad, yo nunca he hecho modelos de caja de montaje o kit, por eso no he averiguado el mercado. Lo que si puedo decirle, es que si ya tiene alguna experiencia, anímese a hacer el modelo que quiera desde cero, scratch, partiendo de las fotos que pueda recolectar, no es tan complicado y si es muy gratificante. Es más de actitud y de liberarse del producto que un fabricante haga. Le deseo buena suerte. google translation: The truth is, I have never made assembly box or kit models, that's why I haven't researched the market. What I can tell you is that if you already have some experience, go ahead and make the model you want from scratch, scratch, starting from the photos you can collect, it is not that complicated and it is very rewarding. It is more about attitude and getting rid of the product that a manufacturer makes. I wish you good luck.

Thanks for the tip @Norgale .

Athena does look really good. An amazing piece of work for being scratch built. I will consider your tips and advise. It does feel like an incredible challenge, but that's something I do like.  

Both the Gale Ann and the Athena are RC too. You need to think about what pieces are removable to get to the equipment inside if you go RC. The whole cabin lifts off of the Gale Ann and a center piece lifts off of the Athena. It wasn't hard to do but it did take time.

History of Nizhny Novgorod

Foundation of nizhny novgorod.

During the military campaigns of the Russian princes against the Volga Bulgaria, the place where the Oka River flows into the Volga was used as a gathering point for the Murom and Suzdal troops. In 1220, Grand Duke Yuri Vsevolodovich (the grandson of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder of Moscow) conducted a successful campaign against the Bulgars. After it, he “decided to strengthen this important place for Rus” and founded a town at the mouth of the Oka.

It was named Novgorod, which literally means “new town”. Later, the adjective “nizhny” (“lower”) was added to the name of the town in the Russian annals. This was probably done in order to distinguish it from the town of Novgorod (present Veliky Novgorod) and other Novgorods that existed at that time.

The founding of Nizhny Novgorod was the beginning of an active expansion of Russian influence in the Mordovian lands. Two white-stone churches were built in the fortress, including the Cathedral of the Archangel (1227) - evidence of the special role that the town had in the system of lands of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus. However, the Mongol invasion stopped further development.

Information about Nizhny Novgorod of the 13th century is extremely scarce. But it is known that after the invasion it revived relatively quickly. Nizhny Novgorod is constantly mentioned in Russian chronicles as a major political and economic center of North-Eastern Rus and a spiritual center of Orthodoxy in the Volga region. The town was often the object of conflicts between Moscow and Tver.

In 1392, the Moscow prince Vasily I received a jarlig for the Nizhny Novgorod Principality and captured Nizhny Novgorod. The final annexation of Nizhny Novgorod to the possessions of Moscow took place in the late 1440s.

More Historical Facts…

Nizhny Novgorod in the 16th-18th centuries

Under Ivan III and Vasily III, the town played the role of a border post and was a gathering place for military campaigns against the Kazan Khanate. In 1508-1515, the stone kremlin was built. After the capture of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible, the border role of Nizhny Novgorod became insignificant. At the same time, Nizhny Novgorod became the center of trade between Russia and the East and a large shipbuilding center.

In September 1611, during the Time of Troubles, the Second People’s Militia was organized in Nizhny Novgorod to fight the Poles who were able to establish control over Moscow. The militia consisted of detachments of townspeople, peasants of the central and northern regions of the Tsardom of Russia. The leaders were the Nizhny Novgorod merchant Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky (the monument to them is installed on Red Square in Moscow). In October 1612, the militia was able to completely liberate Moscow.

In the 17th century, a schism occurred in the Orthodox Church under Patriarch Nikon. It led to the formation of numerous settlements of Old Believers in the vicinity of Nizhny Novgorod. In 1695, during his Azov campaign, Peter I arrived in Nizhny Novgorod. In 1719, as a result of his administrative-territorial reforms, the town became the center of a separate Nizhny Novgorod Governorate. In 1722, setting off on the Persian campaign, Nizhny Novgorod was again visited by Peter I. Here he celebrated his 50th birthday.

In 1767, Nizhny Novgorod was visited by Empress Catherine II. During her stay in the town, she met the famous local mechanic and inventor Ivan Kulibin. After her visit, a new regular town plan was approved. The first town theater was built in 1798. Later, it became known as Nikolaevsky, in honor of Emperor Nicholas I.

Nizhny Novgorod in the 19th century

At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Nizhny Novgorod became a major scientific and cultural center of the Russian Empire. In 1811, the population of Nizhny Novgorod was about 14,400 people. In 1817, the Makaryev Fair, the largest fair of the Russian Empire, was moved to the village of Kunavino (one of the districts of today’s Nizhny Novgorod). Before that, it was organized every year near the Makaryevsky Monastery, which burned down a year earlier. From that time on, it began to be called the Nizhny Novgorod Fair. Thanks to it, the rapid economic development of the town and adjacent villages began.

After Emperor Nicholas I visited the town in 1834, the large-scale reconstruction of Nizhny Novgorod began. In 1847, a water supply system appeared in the town and the first fountain was built. Private buildings in the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin were demolished and new administrative buildings appeared in their place. A lot of new buildings, streets, boulevards, and gardens were built.

In 1849, a large industrial enterprise was founded in the village of Sormovo (another district of today’s Nizhny Novgorod). Later, it became known as the Sormovo plant. It was producing river steamers, various railway cars, steam locomotives, and trams. Thanks to the plant, Sormovo soon turned into a large village of workers. In 1862, the construction of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod railway was completed. In 1863, the population of the city was 41,500 people.

In 1896, the city hosted the All-Russian Trade and Industrial Exhibition. The radio receiver of the engineer A.S. Popov, the hyperboloid tower of the engineer V.G. Shukhov were demonstrated at the exhibition, as well as the first Russian car of the Frese and Yakovlev factories.

Nizhny Novgorod in the first half of the 20th century

In 1914, about 111,000 people lived in Nizhny Novgorod. In 1917, during the First World War, the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute was evacuated to this city, on the basis of which the Nizhny Novgorod Polytechnic Institute was created.

On October 7, 1932, Nizhny Novgorod was renamed Gorky due to the 40th anniversary of the literary and social activities of the writer Maxim Gorky. In 1933, the first permanent bridge across the Oka River was built. The railway bridge across the Volga was constructed too. Thanks to this, it became possible to go by rail through Gorky to the Urals and Siberia.

The 1930s were a period of rapid industrialization. In 1932, the largest industrial enterprise in the city was opened - the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ), an important object of the Soviet defense industry. In the 1930s-1940s, the city was even referred to as “Russian Detroit”. By 1939, the population of Nizhny Novgorod increased to about 644,000 people.

Every fourth resident of the Gorky region (about 822 thousand people) fought on the fronts of the Second World War. Of these, more than 350 thousand people did not return from the battlefields - they were killed, went missing or died from wounds in hospitals.

In June 1943, three large raids of German bombers were carried out on Gorky. The main target of air strikes was the Gorky Automobile Plant, which as a result was almost completely destroyed. It was rebuilt only in the middle of 1944. Over 500,000 wounded were treated in dozens of hospitals during the war years.

The city was an important center for the production of weapons. During the Second World War, every second Soviet car, every third tank and every fourth artillery piece were produced at Gorky’s plants. In total, about 38 thousand tanks, self-propelled guns, armored vehicles, 43 thousand mortars, 16 thousand aircraft, 22 submarines, 109 thousand cars, more than 85 thousand radio stations, as well as 101 thousand artillery pieces and 1,165 Katyusha multiple rocket launchers were produced in Gorky.

Nizhny Novgorod after the Second World War

In 1946, the first GAZ-M-20 “Pobeda” passenger car and the GAZ-51 truck left the assembly line of the Gorky Automobile Plant. In 1949, the construction of the monumental Chkalov Stairs connecting the Upper Volga and Lower Volga embankments was completed in the historic center of Nizhny Novgorod. On August 4, 1959, the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR “On the closure of the city of Gorky for visiting by foreigners” was issued. In 1962, the population of Gorky exceeded 1 million people.

On January 18, 1970, a radiation accident occurred at the Krasnoe Sormovo plant. During the construction of a nuclear submarine, an unauthorized launch of the reactor took place. After working at prohibitive power for about 10-15 seconds, it partially collapsed. Hundreds of workers were exposed to the radioactive release. In total, over one thousand people took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident and were exposed to radiation.

In 1985, a subway was opened in Gorky. In 1980-1986, Andrei Sakharov, a world famous nuclear physicist, Nobel laureate, and activist, was in exile in Gorky to prevent his contacts with foreigners. In the early 1990s, the “closed city” status was lifted and the city became accessible to foreigners. On October 22, 1990, Gorky was renamed back to Nizhny Novgorod. In 1991, the population of the city reached its maximum - 1,445,000 people.

At the end of the 20th century, the information technology sphere began to actively develop in the city. In the 2000s, a transport problem arose because of the insufficient carrying capacity of the Nizhny Novgorod bridges connecting the lower part of the city and the upper one.

In February 2012, the Nizhny Novgorod Volga Aerial Tramway was opened. This 3661-meter-long gondola lift cable car connected Nizhny Novgorod with the town of Bor. Its daily passenger traffic is about 5,000 people. In 2013, the city electric train was launched - an alternative to the subway line from Sormovo to Moskovsky railway station.

Nizhny Novgorod hosted 6 matches of the FIFA World Cup 2018 . A new stadium was built, the old river port was demolished, a new park and embankments were created. Large-scale restoration of old streets and buildings took place, new museums were opened, hotels were built, and parks were reconstructed.

Public transport in Nizhny Novgorod plays a very important role in ensuring the life of the city. At the same time, its work is hampered by the distribution of its population on the city’s territory, large daily migrations, a very high concentration of passenger traffic on the bridges across the Oka River, and the lack of an all-encompassing system of high-speed transport. There are municipal buses, fixed-route minibuses, trams, trolleybuses, the city train, and subway.

The tourist potential of Nizhny Novgorod is quite high. According to UNESCO, it is one of the most valuable historical cities in the world. In total, there are more than 600 unique historical, architectural and cultural monuments in Nizhny Novgorod, a variety of museums. The best time to visit Nizhny Novgorod is summer.

Main Attractions of Nizhny Novgorod

Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin (1508-1515) - a fortress in the historic center of Nizhny Novgorod and its oldest part, the main architectural complex of the city located on the right high bank, at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers.

There are exhibitions in the towers of the fortress; a section of the wall is open for tourists to visit.

In the past, there were several churches on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin. Today, only the Archangel Michael Cathedral has survived, built no later than the middle of the 16th century and rebuilt in 1628-1631 - the oldest surviving building in the kremlin. There is the grave of Kuzma Minin inside it.

An excellent view of the Volga River and Strelka (the confluence of the Oka and Volga) opens from the walls of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin. Here you can also see a collection of military equipment from the Second World War.

Nizhny Novgorod State Art Museum - one of the oldest museums in Russia, the largest museum of fine arts in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The Governor’s Palace on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin houses a permanent exhibition of Russian art and a collection of artistic silver.

In the House of the Merchant and Benefactor D.V. Sirotkin (Verkhnevolzhskaya Embankment, 3), an exposition of Western European art is presented and, separately, the painting by K.E. Makovsky “The appeal of Kuzma Minin to the citizens of Nizhny Novgorod” - one of the largest paintings on a historical theme in Russia (698x594 cm).

Chkalov Stairs (1943-1949) - a monumental staircase in the form of a figure eight in the historic center of Nizhny Novgorod. Connecting the Upper Volga (Verkhnevolzhskaya) and Lower Volga (Nizhnevolzhskaya) embankments, it is one of the longest stairs in Russia. It starts from the observation deck at the monument to Valery Chkalov (the famous Soviet pilot who made the first non-stop flight from the USSR to the USA via the North Pole), next to the St. George Tower of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.

Bolshaya Pokrovskaya Street - the main street of Nizhny Novgorod built up with noble mansions of the past centuries.

Fedorovsky Embankment - one of the most beautiful embankments in Nizhny Novgorod and the best observation deck in the city. Everything is perfectly visible from this embankment: the old part of the city, the river station with a park, the Kanavinsky bridge - one of the oldest in the city, and, of course, the opposite bank of the Oka River with the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the confluence of the Oka and Volga. People also come here to watch the sunset.

Nizhny Novgorod Volga Aerial Tramway . This cable car, 3661 meters long, connects the high right bank of the Volga River, where the historic part of Nizhny Novgorod is located, with the town of Bor. It has the largest unsupported span over the water surface in Europe - 861 meters.

A one way trip during which you can admire the picturesque views of Nizhny Novgorod and the Volga River takes 15 minutes. It is better to use it in good sunny weather, because in windy weather, the movement of the cabins can be stopped. Sennaya Square on Kazanskaya Embankment.

Nizhny Novgorod State Museum of History and Architecture (1875-1877). Also known as the Mansion of S.M. Rukavishnikov, it is an architectural ensemble built in the eclectic style in the historic center of Nizhny Novgorod, one of the most important and famous architectural monuments of this city.

The church, 87 meters high, was built on the site of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair at the expense of merchants, who wanted to perpetuate the visit of Emperor Alexander II. Strelka Street, 3a.

Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1696-1719) - one of the best examples of the Stroganov Baroque, an architectural monument of federal significance.

I really liked the way it was crated – amazing.

You did a masterful job in recreating this historic whaler! It is the centerpiece of my "man cave" and I'm sure will become a family heirloom. Almost equally amazing was the craftsmanship of the shipping crate. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about how such a large, detailed and delicate model would survive the transport but your custom fitted crate supported and protected it perfectly.

The model was packed so well I don’t think anything could have really happened to it. Thank You. The ship exceeds all expectations. You and your team are truly fine craftsmen.

I very much appreciated the most secure packaging.

Regards, Harry 214-718-xxxx"             I, however, am much more future oriented, and very aware of the fact that items of high quality but limited appeal to the general public may not be available in the future....books that aren't on the best seller list, classical music recordings, etc. There is always a niche market for high quality items, but it frequently becomes very expensive. Unfortunately, we live in a culture where it is nearly impossible to go broke making mediocre movies or producing annoying and cloned rap music, but quality, if not priced "competitively", frequently becomes extinct, in the mass market sense...try finding a a good quality toaster or other small appliance at any price. I fully plan on unveiling all of the acquisitions when we have more space, I hope, in a few years, assuming I don't prematurely expire ( I am 63, but in much better shape than most my age... I should know, I'm a physician ). However, no one's future is assured. Interestingly enough, my wife inquired today as to whether a friend of hers could bring her grandchildren over to see my ship models, as they seem to have a fascination for sailing ships (probably watched Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean too many times), so I would say that's a positive sign. Anyway, as usual, I have probably communicated more than you wish to hear.  Keep the colors flying and thanks to all your artisans for their greatly appreciated efforts. Scott B."
