19th century vintage photograph Russia - Nizhny Novgorod Fair (old name — Makaryev Fair) (Russian: ÐижегородÑÐºÐ°Ñ Ñрмарка) was a fair in Nizhny Novgorod held annually every July near Makaryev Monastery on the left bank of the Volga River from the mid-16th century to 1816. Following a massive fire in 1816, it was moved to Nizhny Novgorod, but for some decades thereafter it still was commonly referred to as Makaryev Fair. It attracted many foreign merchants from India, Iran, and Central Asia.
