Second day in this impressive city, with beautiful view of the confluence of Oka and Volga Rivers.
Visiting the Dmitrovskaya tower of the Kremlin and the Church of the Nativity will definitely make you remember this city.
Originally the name was just Novgorod (Newtown), but to distinguish it from the other, older and well-known Novgorod to the west, the city was commonly called Novgorod of the Lower lands. This land was named lower because it is situated downstream, especially from the point of view of other Russian cities such as Moscow, Vladimir and Murom. Later it was transformed into the contemporary name of the city that literally means Lower Newtown.
Nizhny Novgorod, along with its Kremlin, is beautifully situated on the hills overlooking the Volga River. The Kremlin, dating back to the 16th century, has a 2-kilometre brick fortress wall and 13 watchtowers. It stands on an elevation offering a breathtaking view of the city and its waterfront. Nizhny Novgorod is one of a hundred world cities included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Today, Nizhny Novgorod has a population of 1.2 million and continues to grow as a key business and cultural center in Russia.

Нижегородский кремль — крепость в Нижнем Новгороде, исторический центр города, каменный пояс, охватывающий вершину гористого мыса и уступами лежащий на волжских склонах. На территории Кремля находилось множество храмов, однако на настоящий момент сохранился лишь Михайло-Архангельский собор, построенный не позднее середины XVI века и перестроенный в 1628-1631 гг. — древнейшее из сохранившихся в Кремле зданий. Основанный в 1221 году великим князем Владимирским Юрием Всеволодовичем Нижний Новгород для защиты был обнесён деревянно-земляными укреплениями: глубоким рвом и высоким валом. Первая попытка заменить деревянную крепостицу на каменный кремль была предпринята в 1374 году, в эпоху Нижегородско-Суздальского великого княжества (1341-1392). В это время князь Дмитрий Константинович заложил кремль, но его постройка ограничилась всего одной башней, известной как Дмитровская башня. При Иване III Нижний Новгород играет роль сторожевого города, имея постоянное войско и служа местом военного сбора при действиях Москвы против Казани. В целях усиления обороны города вновь начинаются работы над крепостными стенами. Основные работы развернулись с 1508 года и к 1515 году грандиозное строительство уже было завершено. Двухкилометровая стена подкреплялась 13 башнями (одна из них — Зачатская — у берега Волги, не сохранилась). «Каменный город» имел постоянный гарнизон и солидное артиллерийское вооружение. Новая волжская крепость создавалась Московским государством как основной опорный пункт против Казанского ханства и за свою ратную службу выдержала многократные осады и приступы. И ни разу за всё это время враг не смог овладеть ею. С падением Казани Нижегородский кремль утратил свое военное значение, и в дальнейшем в нем размещались органы власти города, княжества и губернии.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Moscow (; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskvá, IPA: [mɐˈskva] (listen)) is the capital and most populous city of Russia, with 13.2 million residents within the city limits and 17 million within the urban area. Moscow is one of Russia's federal cities.
Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city (both by population and by area) entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 14th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index.
Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the second-tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center. By its territorial expansion on July 1 2012 southwest into the Moscow Oblast, the area of the capital more than doubled, going from 1,091 to 2,511 square kilometers (421 to 970 sq mi), resulting in Moscow becoming the largest city on the European continent by area; it also gained an additional population of 233,000 people.Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia, making it Europe's most populated inland city. The city is well known for its architecture, particularly its historic buildings such as Saint Basil's Cathedral with its colourful architectural style. With over 40 percent of its territory covered by greenery, it is one of the greenest capitals and major cities in Europe and the world, having the largest forest in an urban area within its borders—more than any other major city—even before its expansion in 2012.
The city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Russian Empire to the Soviet Union and the contemporary Russian Federation.
Moscow is the seat of power of the Government of Russia, being the site of the Moscow Kremlin, a medieval city-fortress that is today the residence for work of the President of Russia. The Moscow Kremlin and Red Square are also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in the city. Moscow is considered the centre of Russian culture, having served as the home of Russian artists, scientists and sports figures and because of the presence of museums, academic and political institutions and theatres.
The city is served by a transit network, which includes four international airports, nine railway terminals, numerous trams, a monorail system and one of the deepest underground rapid transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro, the fourth-largest in the world and largest outside Asia in terms of passenger numbers, and the busiest in Europe. It is recognised as one of the city's landmarks due to the rich architecture of its 200 stations.Moscow has acquired a number of epithets, most referring to its size and preeminent status within the nation: The Third Rome (Третий Рим), the Whitestone One (Белокаменная), the First Throne (Первопрестольная), the Forty Soroks (Сорок Сороков) (sorok meaning both forty, a great many and a district or parish in Old Russian).
Moscow is also one of the twelve Hero Cities. The demonym for a Moscow res ...
