There are so many colliding interests that one can safely say about it:
“she’s in full swing”; but from October until the onset of spring, approximately until May, this entire lower part of the city plunges into such a hibernation that the center, seething during the summer, then looks like a dead kingdom. The lower part is connected to the upper part by a bridge, about a mile long, and which leads on the other side of the river, first of all, to a narrow comparative lowland, which makes up the foothills of the Dyatlov Mountains and is, in all respects, like a transition from the river part ("Kunavino") to the city itself ("Upper Bazaar" or "posad"). This transitional part the so-called “Rozhdestvenskaya”, otherwise “Nizhny Bazaar”, lives up to the famous
Ooh degree with the life of the upper city, at the same time being enlivened, quite exclusively, for the entire period of the fair, from which it borrows its summer fever. As for the Nizhny Novgorod railway station, it is located in the low part of the city, a long way from the bridge, and a person going from the station to the city itself makes a very long end through Kunavino, the bridge, below! And the bazaar, a long entrance to the mountain, before even getting to the Nizhny Novgorod Time.
The Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin provides one of the historical attractions of the city. To build it, the architect Francesco was commissioned from Itami by Grand Duke Vasil TU, who was soon renamed Fryazin by the Russians. Construction began on September 1, 1508 and was completed by the winter of 1511. Francesco-Fryazin lined the old moat with bricks and, to the two previously existing towers of Dmitrovskaya and Tverskaya, added eleven more towers, connecting them with stone walls, equipped with huge counters for greater stability. The names of these new towers are: Chasovaya (now Aleksandrovskaya), Geormevskaya, Porokhovaya, Kladovaya, Tainitskaya, Dukhovekaya, Blya, Borisoglibskaya, Obvernaya (now Nikolaevskaya), Nikolskaya and Koromyslova. The strangeness of the last name is explained by the legend concerning the construction of the tower, which reads as follows: when they began laying the first Kremlin balini (namely Koromyslova), the workers, according to the belief of that time, for the sake of the successful completion of the construction, decided to bury a living creature that would appear first before the attack on the masonry of the tower; The first to approach what was unfortunate for her was a young woman, carrying buckets on a yoke with which she was going to get water to Pochaina; Out of curiosity, she came up to look at the work. It was the workers who buried her alive in the ground with buckets and a rocker. Hence the name of the tower.
Francesco-Fryazin was obviously a prudent technician; under the walls and towers of the Kremlin he built huge stone pipes for drainage of spring waters; Such forethought largely explains the extraordinary strength and stability of the structure. The Kremlin had a ditch only in its eastern part, from the Geortevskaya Tower to the Koromyslova Tower; the rest of the Kremlin, built on steep slopes, did not need a moat. The remains of the ditch have survived to the present day only near the Dmitrov Gate; in 1888, the new Kremlin Boulevard was built on their site.
In the later period of time, some so-called “corrections” of the Kremlin walls and towers were carried out; The work carried out in the late 80s of the last century was especially harmful: the walls were lowered, the height of the towers, which had previously been up to 15 fathoms, was reduced, the battlements were shortened; All this taken in has significantly increased the former grandeur of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, especially taking into account that the very length of the walls was reduced by more than 55 fathoms. During the later reconstructions in the 80s, the architects managed to fill up the pipes built by Fryazin, the result of which was revealed quite quickly: the water washed away the slopes of the mountain, part of the wall collapsed, and the Church of the Holy Spirit that was here cracked and crawled down; This is how later technicians thought about the construction of the gifted Francesco.
From the building of the Kremlin, we will note the Cathedrals of the Transfiguration and Arkhangelsk, the monument to Minin and Pozharsky, the governor’s house with the Spiritual Chapel and the Arakcheevsky cadet corps.
