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.

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.”

The history of Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg (This is the street on which I reached my Siberien Trade Bank (Nevsky, 44) every day from Nicholas Railroad Station).

Nevsky Avenue (Prospect) is the main street in the city of St. Petersburg, Russia. Planned by Peter the Great as beginning of the road to Novgorod and Moscow, the avenue runs from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station and, after making a turn at Vosstaniya Square, to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
The chief sights include the  Stroganov Palace, the huge neoclassical Kazan Cathedral,

the Art Nouveau Bookhouse (Dom Knigi), Elisseeff Emporium, half a dozen of 18th-century churches, a monument to Catherine the Great,  the Anichkov Bridge with its horse statues and much more. The feverish life of the avenue was described by Nikolai Gogol in his story "Nevsky Prospekt". Fyodor Dostoevsky often employed the Nevksy Prospekt as a setting within his works, such as "Crime and Punishment" and "The Double: A Petersburg Poem".

In memory of my brother Sasha a teacher of Zemstvo school, a member of Narodnaya Volya party and revolutionary terrorist Pages 36 and 37 of my diary.

We are four brothers, close in age: I'm Adrian, Peter, Sasha (Aleksander) and Pasha - always lived together. Summers (1887-1897) we carried out in the open air in the garden of our house in Kursk at the intersection of Golden and the Moscow streets, full of apples, pears, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries and all sorts of vegetables.
