Adrian Fedorovich Timofeev participation in the reconstruction in 1922 of the historical Nizhny Novgorod Fair during the NEP (New Economic Policy) Era in Soviet Russia (1921-1928).

Makaryev's  Fair (Makarevskaya Jarmarka) was the Greatest Fair in Russia held annually every July near Makaryev Monastery on the left bank of the Volga River from the mid-16th century to 1816. Following a massive fire in 1816, it was moved to Nizhny Novgorod, but for some decades thereafter it still was commonly referred to as Makariev Fair. It attracted many foreign merchants all over the would.

    My son Alexander was born on 05 February of 1918 too. It was terrible time.
        In February 1918 the Bolsheviks were afraid of  German attack on St. Petersburg and ran away to Moscow.  
       The Bolsheviks established many  new institutions in Moscow in  thier attempt to govern the country.  I tried to find  any job in some of them. I changed a lot of  places of employment.
      

       
       I got a job in 1925 in  the newly re-established   by Bolsheviks  State Bank of Russia finally.
     The State Bank of Russia  has provided  great  funds for reconstruction of the Historical Nizhny Novgorod Fair  and I controlled  the spending of this money.
