Makaryev's Fair ( Nizhny Novgorod Fair later) was the greatest Trade Fair in Imperial Russia.

Makaryev's Trade  Fair (Makarevskaya Jarmarka) was the Greatest Trade 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 Trade  Fair. It attracted many foreign merchants all over the World.

The Nizhny Novgorod (former Makarevchkaya)Trade Fair  (NNTF) (1824).

I will quote below what  was written  about   Nizhny Novgorod Fair in 19^th century   by well-known American writer Suzanne Massie  in her remarkable book “ Land of Firebird - The Beauty of Old Russia”. Mr.  Irwin Well   wrote about this book in Chicago Tribune “ It stuns the reader with the richness, variety, and beauty of East Slavic creativity.”  

I was awarded by Certificates of the State Domestic Loan of 1917 for 1000 rubles.

I worked as  the trustee of the Moscow Branch of the Siberian Trade Bank in 1917-1918. The office of Moscow Branch of our Bank was on Ilinka Street.

  I worked  hard and was very honest, careful  and diligent  employee.
