Arzamas - extreme population density

Arzamas cannot be called large or large. The city's territory occupies just over 41 square meters. km. But more than 100 thousand people live on it. Surprisingly, the residents coexist peacefully, although sometimes funny incidents occur. For example, cars get stuck in traffic jams due to cows walking along the roads. Arzamas is quite small, so a lot of people leave here. Only thanks to immigrants from Central Asia is there a large increase. Moreover, it is the newcomers who contribute to the increase in the birth rate. The gypsies also try to keep up, demonstrating importunity. It gets ridiculous: cunning gypsies cordon off areas where a lot of people gather. Then they begin to voice demands for the right to use the sidewalk.

The large number led to severe deterioration of housing and communal services. Major repairs cannot be carried out in a timely manner. Inside Arzamas, traffic jams are rare, but it is difficult to leave or enter here. Public transport is functioning properly and there are enough places. Another thing is kindergartens. The townspeople of the densely populated Arzamas are accustomed to using the services of nannies, because it is very difficult to wait in line for a vacant position. Fortunately, there are enough clinics, schools are also not full of students.

The cities of the Nizhny Novgorod region face the same problems as many other Russian settlements, especially those with a population of over a million. The difficulties of Nizhny Novgorod are associated with the illiterate actions of municipalities. It’s high time for the metropolis to acquire good roads and infrastructure, but so far the situation has not changed. This means that the city will continue to face:

• lack of places in kindergartens;
• rising prices for housing;
• traffic congestion.

As usual, resolving issues depends entirely on the availability of budgetary funds, which are often insufficient.

Historical sketch

Founded in 1221 by the Vladimir prince Yuri Vsevolodovich as a fortress called Novgorod, which perhaps meant not just “new city”, but repeated the name of the city Novgorod, which is on the Volkhov River.

To distinguish between cities of the same name, the definition lower is introduced, which was first used sporadically, and from the 14th century. almost constantly now. This definition is most often understood as indicating the location of the city in the lower lands, on the Lower Ground. But, according to a number of authors, in this case the city would be called not Nizhny, but Nizovsky Novgorod. In addition, attention is drawn to the fact that pairs of names with the definition lower and upper usually appear within the same river, which is confirmed by many examples, i.e. the city in relation to which Novgorod is lower must be located above it on the Oka or Volga. Such a city could be Gorodets, which arose earlier than Novgorod, lies upstream of the Volga, and it was from it that the functions of an advanced defensive point passed to Novgorod. There is also indirect evidence that Gorodets was originally called the City, and, therefore, it could be contrasted with the New City, also known as the Lower City, hence the name of the inhabitants of Nizhny Novgorod.

Since 1350, the capital of the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal principality created in 1341. Thanks to its favorable geographical location, Nizhny Novgorod has acquired the significance of a major trade and cultural center.

Initially, the city was surrounded by oak walls; in 1372, construction of a stone Kremlin began.

In 1392, under Vasily I, Nizhny Novgorod was annexed to the Moscow Principality and soon became a stronghold of Rus' in the fight against the Kazan Khanate. In 1506-11 under Vasily III, a new brick Kremlin was built. The fortress allowed the Nizhny Novgorod residents to repel the raids of the Tatars in 1520 and 1536.

From the second half of the 16th century. one of the largest trade and craft centers of the Moscow State. At this time, two parts of the city took shape: Nagornaya (the center) and Zarechnaya (later the industrial area).

Nizhny Novgorod played an important role in preserving the country during the Time of Troubles. In 1611-12 in Nizhny Novgorod, the militia of the zemstvo elder Kuzma Minin and Prince D.M. was formed. Pozharsky against the Polish interventionists.

In 1708 he was assigned to the Kazan province. In 1714-17 center of the Nizhny Novgorod province, in 1717-19. again in the Kazan province. Since 1719, the center of the newly formed Nizhny Novgorod province. Since 1779, the center of the Nizhny Novgorod governorship (since 1796 - the Nizhny Novgorod province).

In the 19th century, the flour-milling industry and production related to Volga shipping were developed. In 1817, the Makaryevskaya Fair was transferred to Nizhny Novgorod. In 1849, the Sormovo shipbuilding plant was launched. In 1862, Nizhny Novgorod was connected by railway to Moscow.

In 1856, in the provincial city of Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod province, there were 49 churches, 2,555 houses, 550 shops.

From the middle of the 19th century. The Volga shipping company is developing especially intensively.

Since 1929, Nizhny Novgorod has been a regional center. In 1932, it was renamed Gorky in honor of the writer Maxim Gorky (A.M. Peshkov; 1868-1936), a native of this city.

In 1928, the cities of Sormovo (6.3 thousand inhabitants, 1897; city since 1925) and Kanavino (formed in 1925) were included within the boundaries of Nizhny Novgorod.

General information about the Nizhny Novgorod region

Distinctive features .
The Nizhny Novgorod region is one of the most economically developed subjects of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal District. True, it is still unclear whether dividing the country into federal districts will take root in the popular consciousness. It is more common for Russians to divide Russia into Siberia, the Far East, the Caucasus and the Center. The North stands apart, where few people have been, as well as in those distant cities and towns from where a new day begins all over the planet. But if we move west from the Ural Mountains, then this territory will form the foundation of our huge country, albeit not in terms of mineral resources, but definitely in terms of specific population size and level of socio-economic development. However, even here you will not find as much prosperity as you would expect at first glance: in addition to Moscow and St. Petersburg, life is bustling only around 3-5 large cities that make up the “semantic core” of Russia.

And one of these centers with deep historical roots is Nizhny Novgorod. Since ancient times, this ancient Russian city was the trading core of the Russian state, and merchants from all over Rus' flocked to the famous Nizhny Novgorod fairs. And modern Nizhny has not lost its former influence, transforming over time into the largest industrial center of Russia.

The main building of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair - an international exhibition complex

As you know, a region directly depends on the state of affairs in its center. Therefore, the Nizhny Novgorod region, having neither particularly fertile soils nor mineral reserves (it is known that the subsoil is our everything), is nevertheless a leader in many economic indicators, from average monthly income per capita (27th place in Russia ) to the total area of ​​residential premises per resident (33rd place).

Today, the administrative center of the Nizhny Novgorod region is the fifth largest city in Russia with a population of 1.26 million people. In addition to Nizhny Novgorod, the homeland of Gazelles, armored personnel carriers and Ryaba mayonnaise, large regional cities that are popular throughout the country are of great importance for the development of the region (what is it, the whole of Russia!): Dzerzhinsk - for antifreeze, Bor - for automobile glass, Sarov, better known as Arzamas-16, for secret facilities for the development of nuclear weapons.

This is what distinguishes the Nizhny Novgorod region from many central Russian provinces: most regional centers are full-fledged cities, quite suitable for modern civilized life.

Geographical location . What about the neighbors? In the north, the Nizhny Novgorod lands, which are part of the Volga Federal District, border with the Kostroma and Ivanovo regions, which close the TOP 100 most successful regions of Russia (particularly vigilant ones have already considered that there are only 83 subjects of the Russian Federation in the country:) The situation is slightly better with other northern neighbors - Vladimir and Kirov regions, but they are clearly far from the industrial power of Nizhny Novgorod...

And in the south, the Nizhny Novgorod region was surrounded by the territories of fraternal peoples, proudly called republics: Mordovia, Chuvashia and Mari El. There is no need to talk about any economic achievements at all: the people live there more than modestly, but independently.

At the same time, the Nizhny Novgorod region is rich in deciduous and coniferous forests, which occupy more than half of its territory. There are also more than 9 thousand small rivers in the region. Which, unlike large and heavily polluted waterways - the Volga, Oka and Vetluga - are quite clean.

Incredibly beautiful corners of natural nature, rich in the full range of forest gifts, are not only an outlet and source of food for many Nizhny Novgorod residents. It is also a reliable environmental barrier that effectively neutralizes all the results of man-made impacts on the environment.

Population. The Nizhny Novgorod region is one of the few sources of opportunities for seekers of a better life in the vastness of the European part of Russia. Especially if fate has endowed these seekers with Slavic roots: then you will obviously not be so welcome in many “tasty” corners... say, in Tatarstan, where the standard of living is much higher, but from Russia only federal laws remain, and even then more to preserve status -quo.

Today the population of the region is 3,289,841 people. 79% of them live in cities. Previously (during the period of perestroika) the population of the region was even higher - 3.7 million people. But in the turbulent 90s, the natural population decline began to grow at a crazy pace. Now the situation has become better, but still the natural decline is 4.2 people. per thousand population.

By national composition, 93.93% of the region's population are Russians. Other nationalities are practically not represented (each of them makes up less than 1% of the region's population). After the Russians, Tatars have the largest share - 1.33%. 0.58% and 0.53% are Mordovians and Ukrainians, respectively.

Crime . In the criminal ranking by the number of crimes committed, the Nizhny Novgorod region ranks 18th. And it is not surprising that one of the most economically developed regions has such a high rate. Where there is money, there is crime. However, it is worth noting the fact that of all the European regions of Russia, one of the highest crime rates is noted here (higher only in the Perm Territory).

Unemployment rate. The Nizhny Novgorod region has impressive industrial potential, inherited from the Soviet economy. Therefore, the art of managing a region fades into the background, and the main task of the region’s leadership is to preserve what it already has.

The leading industries in the Nizhny Novgorod region are mechanical engineering and chemicals. The region is home to one of the largest hydroelectric power stations in Russia, the Nizhny Novgorod hydroelectric power station.

According to statistics for 2012, the unemployment rate in the Nizhny Novgorod region was 5.4% (31st place in the ranking of regions). The average salary in the region is 20,467 rubles. But this is the “average level for the hospital.” In some sectors, people's incomes are negligible. For example, in the fishing industry - only 8 thousand rubles. And the highest salaries (about 40 thousand rubles) are in the field of finance, production of petroleum products and nuclear materials and, oddly enough, in the field of scientific development.

Property value. The average cost of housing in the Nizhny Novgorod region is 66,344 rubles per sq. m. meter. But in Nizhny Novgorod prices are higher. So, to buy a one-room apartment there, you need to have 2 - 2.5 million rubles. Prices for two-room apartments start from 2.5 million rubles, three-room apartments - from 3 million rubles.

The climate of the Nizhny Novgorod region is temperate continental. In January the average temperature is −12°C. Summer is relatively short; in July the average temperature is +19°C. But there are often cases when you can see very extreme values ​​on the thermometer, like +39°C in summer or −44°C in winter. The average annual precipitation is 600 mm per year. Droughts are frequent in the southeast of the Right Bank.
