Chintsov: respect for one's history and the desire to move forward give Nizhny Novgorod a special strength.

      Nizhny Novgorod is celebrating its 805th anniversary. The Chairman of the City Duma of Nizhny Novgorod, Evgeny Chintsov, congratulated the residents of Nizhny Novgorod on City Day, which is celebrated on August 15. The text of the congratulations was distributed by the press service of the City Duma. "Dear residents of Nizhny Novgorod! Nizhny Novgorod is celebrating its 805th anniversary. Over the course of eight centuries, our city has grown and developed alongside the country, and in the most difficult times for it, it has become a reliable support. The people of Nizhny Novgorod have always been characterized by their readiness to unite, take responsibility, and do everything necessary to protect the Motherland and its future. More than four centuries ago, the call of Kuzma Minin was heard here, and a people's militia was formed, which liberated Moscow. During the Great Patriotic War, Gorky became one of the most important industrial centers of Victory and earned the title of 'City of Labor Valor' through its selfless labor. Today, the residents of Nizhny Novgorod are once again defending the Motherland, carrying out combat missions in the special military operation zone. Thousands of residents support the military and their families, collect humanitarian aid, and help those returning home. Eras change, but the main thing remains unchanged—the readiness of the people of Nizhny Novgorod to be together in difficult times and take responsibility for the fate of the country. The strength of the Nizhny Novgorod character lies not only in the ability to defend the Motherland but also in the ability to create. Here, cars are produced, ships are built, science and modern technologies are developed, cultural heritage is preserved, and the city is improved. Respect for one's history and the desire to move forward give Nizhny Novgorod a special strength. Behind all the victories and achievements of the city are its residents—talented, hardworking, and caring people. It is they who create the present of Nizhny Novgorod every day and determine its future. May our city remain strong, beautiful, and hospitable, open up new opportunities, and always be a place we can justly be proud of. Happy holiday, dear residents of Nizhny Novgorod! Happy 805th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod!" the congratulations read.
