If you are passionate about motor vehicles, a visit to the Museum of History and Technology of the Nizhny Automotive Industry will excite you. The Gorky Automotive Plant, launched in 1932, is one of the most important industries in Nizhny Novgorod, and one of the largest automotive plants in the country. The most sought-after cars of the Soviet period of the 1930s and 1940s, from military vehicles to the seven-seater Chaika, were built here. Since then, Nižnij has been known as the "Russian Detroit".
