Nizhny Novgorod Fair (''old name — Makaryev Fair'') ((ロシア語:Нижегородская ярмарка)) was a fair in Russia 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 Makariev Fair. It attracted many foreign merchants from India, Iran, and Central Asia. This fair was a commerce centre to sell up to half the total production of export goods in Russia. The fair ceased in 1929. A society named ''Nizhegorodskaya yarmarka'' ((ロシア語:Нижегородская ярмарка), Nizhny Novgorod fair) was created in 1991 with its headquarters in the former main fair building. However, today it is not actually a fair, but an exhibition center. ==References== * Munro-Butler-Johnstone, Henry Alexander, ''A trip up the Volga to the fair of Nijni-Novgorod'', Oxford: J.
