before the revolution it was called Nizhny Novgorod and now it is called the same, this is my hometown

The city, which some may know as Gorky, has now been returned to its historical name Nizhny Novgorod.

Nizhny Novgorod traces its history back to 1221, when it was built at the confluence of the Volga and Oka. In 1932, the city was renamed in honor of the famous writer Maxim Gorky and bore the name Gorky until 1990, when a few years after the collapse of the USSR there was a wave of returning historical names to cities, streets, and metro stations and it was also given its original name.

This city was called Gorky from 1932 until October 22, 1990 - 58 years, now it is called Nizhny Novgorod.

After the revolution, many cities of Russia (Vladikavkaz, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, etc.) were given new names in honor of people - heroes of the revolution and civil war, but in the 90s the old names returned to these cities - the historical names returned.

Now the city of Gorky is called Nizhny Novgorod. The fact is that initially Gorky had exactly this name - Nizhny Novgorod (the city was called that in 1221, at the time of its foundation).

At the beginning of October 1932, the city was given a different name - Gorky. This was done in honor of the anniversary of the writer Maxim Gorky (by the way, Maxim Gorky himself was against such an act).

At the end of October 1990, the city again began to have its previous name!
