Cultural code, Nizhny Novgorod peoples and urban legends

Legends, mysterious and “terrible” urban legends contain not only fragments of the confused impressions of our ancestors, but also a kind of key to understanding such phenomena as the “cultural code” – why can people almost a century long rebel, and then turn into a boring province, it seems “to agree to everything” ... and then many familiar things turned upside down?

The legend of the Woodpecker, the sorceress. Popular movements - from the Razin uprising to the Minin militia. "Places of power" in the city, associated with moments of culture, most deeply revealing the secrets of the "cultural code". The “Country of Equality and Contrasts” are the features of the achievements and failures of the Soviet era. Reflections of the “popular character” and social habits in modern models of behavior of Nizhny Novgorod residents.

Religions, sects and superstitions of the Nizhny Novgorod land. Features of the Orthodox architecture of the region. The main city monuments. The largest closed city in the world. Why were Sakharov exiled here, and the Gorky workers signed up for loans that their Leningrad colleagues refused? Postboxes and their atmosphere. What are the characteristics of the “era of change” and the “country rising from its knees” in the eyes of Nizhny Novgorod residents and how is this reflected in the appearance of the city?
