Till the beginning of XX century city used to be called “the pocket of Russia”, due to the well known Trade Fair that gathered merchants from Europe and Asia.
In Soviet times our city was famous for the Volga cars, MIG planes and hydrofoil ships. At that time it was renamed after a famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky.
