      July 11, 2026 14:55 Culture and Leisure The founder of the Uma2rman group, Vladimir Kristovsky, spoke at the VK Fest lecture (0+), which is taking place today at Strelka, and admitted that he would like to live in his hometown. Answering the question of what distinguishes Nizhny Novgorod residents, the musician noted that for him they are primarily his own people and his hometown. According to him, he always comes here as if returning home.

      "Great people have always lived here. And they continue to live here now. New ones are born, new ones grow up — and all are better than before," the artist said.

      Speaking about the qualities of Nizhny Novgorod residents, Kristovsky emphasized that people are different everywhere, but overall the city makes a very strong impression. He noted that Nizhny Novgorod is flourishing thanks to its residents, many of whom are talented and creative people striving to make the city better. The musician also stated that he considers the capital of the Volga region an incredibly cool city to live in, not just for leisure.

      "I would move myself. I dream of moving to Nizhny," he confessed.

      According to Kristovsky, he is currently held back by work in Moscow and frequent performances in the capital and St. Petersburg, which makes constant relocations inconvenient. At the same time, he added that he is increasingly visiting Nizhny now. Let us remind you that Nizhny Novgorod is hosting the VK Fest for the first time.
