Gorodets town
Gorodets is an ancient city in the Nizhny Novgorod region on the Northern Bank of the Volga river, 60 kilometers from Nizhny Novgorod. The city is small, its population is just over 30 thousand people, but it is very popular with tourists and travelers due to the monuments of the past, the picturesque area and the cozy atmosphere of quiet streets. It is most often visited as an excursion destination from Nizhny Novgorod, but you can come here on your own for one or several days in order to get acquainted with the sights, beach holidays on the banks of the Volga, active winter recreation.

Thanks to the rich artistic heritage and architecture, the proud man deservedly received the unofficial nickname "Maly Kitezh". In addition to the fact that there are many monuments of architecture and history, there is a whole museum quarter in the city. Quiet streets abound with well-preserved stone houses of merchant construction and wooden mansions decorated with carvings. From the embankment, a favorite place for locals to walk, there is a breathtaking view of the Volga region and the Nizhny Novgorod hydroelectric power station, whose dams are the longest in Russia. All this attracts history buffs of all ages.

Gorodets left us a rich artistic heritage: "deaf" wood carving, gorodets painting, carved gingerbread boards, gold embroidery, handwritten books, gorodets toys. Every third Saturday of July there are regional festivals "Gorodets — Museum capital" and "Masters of folk Brotherhood". In summer, a festival of historical reconstruction is organized with the reproduction of medieval life and battles
A little history
Already in the chronicles of 1171 there are mentions of Gorodets as a formed fortress city founded by Yuri Dolgoruky. The history of the settlement is saturated with successive periods of prosperity and desolation. Since the 12th century, it has served as a bulwark of protection of Vladimir Russia from the neighborhood of the Volga Bulgars. After the ruin in 1408, the city was in complete ruin until the 18th century. In the 19th century, it turned into a major industrial, commercial and business center. During this period, factories, a tannery, and a steam mill were actively built here. At the same time, prosperous merchant houses appear, many of which have survived to the present in their original form.
Rest in Gorodets
Gorodets can be visited as a day trip or during a short trip for several days. There will be nothing to do here for longer than two full days. It is difficult to call it a tourist-developed place, but everything you need for a short stay in order to explore the local attractions is available. And there is something to see here.
Thanks to its rich artistic heritage and architecture, Gorodets deservedly received the unofficial nickname "Maly Kitezh". In addition to the fact that there are many monuments of architecture and history, there is a whole museum complex of 7 historical and thematic museums in the city, called the "Museum Quarter". The quiet streets of the historical part abound with perfectly preserved stone houses of merchant buildings and wooden mansions decorated with carvings. From the embankment, a favorite place for locals to walk, there is a breathtaking view of the Volga region and the Nizhny Novgorod hydroelectric power station, whose dams are the longest in Russia. All this attracts history lovers of all ages here.

Gorodets also left us a rich artistic heritage: "deaf" house wood carving, Gorodets painting, carved gingerbread boards, gold embroidery, handwritten books, Gorodets toy. Every year, every third Saturday in July, the regional festivals "Gorodets — Museum Capital" and "Masters of Folk Brotherhood" are held here. In summer, a festival of historical reconstruction is organized with the reproduction of medieval life and the conduct of battles.
There are clean beaches in and near Gorodets. Of these, the "White River", located 10 km from the city beach, is of interest to outdoor enthusiasts. In summer, water activities are offered here: water skiing, "tablets", "bananas", jet skis, and in winter, snowboards and skis are rented.

Lake Svetloyar
Lake Svetloyar is one of the most mysterious lakes in the Nizhny Novgorod region and in Russia as a whole. The lake has an almost perfect oval shape of 470 by 350 meters, the water in it is always clean and transparent. It has a great depth - 33.4 meters. It is considered a holy place.

There are many legends associated with the lake. One of them, because of which the lake is called the little Russian Atlantis– is that the legendary city of Kitezh plunged into the waters of the lake. As this legend says, Kitezh-Grad was built by Grand Duke Georgy Vsevolodovich after he built the city of Maly Kitezh (today Gorodets). Moreover, the city was built without any fortifications, despite the danger of the invasion of Batu troops. When the Tatar conquerors approached the walls of Kitezh-Grad, the inhabitants prayed to God for salvation, and then the city was completely submerged under water. But the city did not die. According to legend, he is still intact today, and from the depths of the lake you can sometimes hear the bell ringing, and in the clear waters of Svetloyar and fog you can see its image.

But even if you don't believe in beautiful legends, there are plenty of mysteries at the lake. Until now, scientists have not come to a consensus about its origin, but today the predominant version of its origin is cosmic, i.e. it is believed that it was formed due to a meteorite that fell here about three thousand smoulders ago. There are also versions of the hypothesis of glacial, karst, ancient, volcanic, neotectonic and salt dome origin. It is also not clear why the water in the lake always remains clean and fresh, never overgrown with mud. Water from Svetloyar can be stored in a vessel for many years without losing purity, transparency and taste qualities.
Now the lake is a holy place, and a monument of nature of federal significance. The area around is nature-protected: you can not put up tents, chop down trees, light fires, litter, fish. It is possible to swim in the lake, although historically it was impossible to do this here, you can only bathe in its waters.

 Dymkovo Toys

Colourful Dymkovo figurines, whistles among them, represent the most famous and one of the oldest clay handicrafts of Russia.

The brand name of these peculiar toys comes from the Dymkovo Settlement, today a district of the city of Vyatka (Kirov). It appeared out of love for the pottering tradition in Vyatka lands in antiquity. According to many researchers, the development of the Dymkovo clay toy was related to the ritual spring holiday of Svistoplyaska (i.e. whistle-dance) celebrating the Sun. To take part in the festivity, one needed a clay whistle to make sounds with and a painted clay ball to throw to each other.

The whistles were made in shape of various totem animals, such as the bear, the goat, the sheep, the deer, but as a matter of fact were quite simple, their function being magic rather than decorative. In spite of the ritual meaning of the clay whistles, one can notice certain irony, with which masters designed them. Thus, a whistle bear could be playing some music instrument, and a goat could be wearing funny trousers. Such clay whistles were made exclusively by women and girls preparing for the holiday in advance.

In the 19th century the holiday turned into a boisterous fair, necessarily with whistling. The magic meaning of the festivity was lost. The whistles remained and acquired more fanciful decorative features. Whereas formerly animals had been the main subject, the 19th century saw the appearance of toys that depicted dressed-up women holding babies, or baskets with pies, or bucket yokes, sitting on benches or in boats. Later Dymkovo toy masters turned to town plots, with stylish ladies, townsfolk, officers, tradeswomen and skomorokhi (wandering minstrel-cum-clowns).

Whatever a Dymkovo toy depicts, it is always distinctive due to its unparallel ornate colouring. The dark and light blue, green, yellow, orange and raspberry colours look very cheerful on the white background. There might be up to ten colours together. The ornament is always rather simple, with checks, stripes, circles, dots, diamonds, and zigzags in various combinations. These simple geometrical patterns, however, bear certain information. Thus, for instance, a wavy blue line stands for water, crossed stripes denote a curb, and a circle with a star in the middle symbolizes the Sun or other celestial bodies.

The method of producing the Dymkovo toys seems also quite simple: a toy is hand molded of the local red clay mixed with river sand. The whistles are pierced with a special stick. The figurine is made by parts. Separate parts are fastened together with liquid clay, the joints smoothed away with a wet cloth. The toy is dried and baked, and then whitewashed with chalk diluted in milk. Afterwards it is painted.

Every Dymkovo toy is handmade and unique, existing as the only copy. Every master brings in her own manner and colouring. The Dymkovo toy handicraft still has no serial production, which makes it different from other folk arts and crafts.

Presently Russian culture experiences tendencies similar to those in the West, with ethnic motifs becoming an integral part of creativity among sculptors, artists, designers and fashion-designers. There is a hope that the Dymkovo toy will not be forgotten, but, on the contrary, will be developed, reconsidered and interpreted on a new level. Rooted in ancient pagan outlook, it can serve as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for a creative person.

Today anyone, a kid or a grown-up, can try and make a Dymkovo toy. The main things you need are clay and fancy. Otherwise, a bright whistle brought from Russia might become a stunning souvenir and present.

Russian folk craft

Khokhloma is a traditional folk Russian handicraft that appeared in the 17th century in villages under Nizhni Novgorod. One of the most famous kinds of folk Russian decorative painting, it is used in creation of splendid ornate wooden tableware and furniture.
Though the items are wooden, they look like gilded metal, and their golden surface and ornaments are shot with soft metallic luster. The Khokhloma masters have an original technology of painting wood golden without use of gold.
Traditionally, black and red (rarely green as well) floral ornaments are painted against golden background. Golden, black and red – such a combination can be seen in various works of old Russian arts and crafts, but for Khokhloma these colurs are especially important: red adds warmth and softness to artificial gold, whereas black emphasizes its brilliance. Besides, rounded surfaces of painted ware have no sharp lines and, thus, beautifully disperse light.
Khokhloma painting got its name after the trading settlement of Khokhloma in Nizhni Novgorod Province; painted wooden items were brought there from nearby villages for sale, though they were never manufactured in Khokhloma itself.
The handicraft owes its origin to the Old Believers, who, fleeing from persecutions of officials, took refuge in local woods. It should be noted, though, that even before their coming local villagers had been into making tableware from soft sorts of wood. Among the schismatics there were icon-painters, who taught local craftsmen this painting technology. A legend tells about a wonderful icon-painter Andrei Loskut, who denied to submit to religious reforms by Patriarch Nikon, and so, flew from the capital and settled in the forest. He painted wooden articles and icons in the old style. The patriarch learnt about this and sent soldiers to seize the freethinking monk. But Andrei did not give up; he burned his hut (and may be himself inside of it) and before that entrusted villagers with preserving his handicraft.
The technology of Khokhloma painting has not changed a lot since then. There are several stages: first workpieces are turned on a lathe, and then the item is grounded with liquid clay mortar and oiled with flaxseed oil, and on the next stage treated with drying oil and dried. This step is repeated three of four times. The next stage is tinning: the item is covered with aluminum metallic powder (once they used silver powder and later cheaper tin powder). Then the silver-coloured piece is ready for painting, which is done in oils, and is secured by drying in a furnace. Afterwards the work is covered with several layers of varnish, each of them dried separately in a stove. It is under the influence of high temperature, that varnish turns silver colour of the article into golden.
Khokhloma artists apply free-hand brush painting, without preliminary marking out. Khokhloma imagery is decorative and ornamental: they convey the beauty of live nature in most generalized way. Images of blossoming bushes and berries have always been considered symbols of good things, well-being and happiness in Russia. This beautiful custom is still kept up nowadays by Khokhloma masters that decorate usual household things with ornate painting. They use floral ornaments composed of flowers, grass and berries. There are several kinds of this ornamentation in Khokhloma painting.
There are two main types of Khokhloma painting: upper painting - red and black ornaments against the golden background; and background painting– golden ornaments against a coloured background. The “upper painting” includes traditional “grass” and “leaf” ornamentation elements. “Grass” consists of blades of grass and springs painted with red or black on golden colour. “Leaf” painting is composed of oval leaves and berries usually spread around the stem. “Background” painting is based on a large golden design against red or black background. First the design is outlined, then the background is filled, and later small designs are added over the background. One of the types of background painting is called kudrina (from the Russian ‘kudri’, i.e. curls) – it is flourishing tracery with intricate golden scrolls reminding of curls. In the early 19th century ‘upper’ painting was more common, since “background” painting is more complicated and was used in expensive gift articles. The ‘background painting’ became especially popular in the second half of the 19th century, when Khokhloma furniture production was established.
Unique works of Khoklhoma art can be seen in a Khokloma Museum that was open in the factory of Semenov in 1972. Among them there is a huge Khokloma spoon 2 meters and 67 cm large and a bowl one and a half meter large. Modern Khokhloma enterprises produce tableware, furniture, souvenirs and other goods.

Russian folk craft

Mezen painting
The Mezen painting (Ме́зенская ро́спись) is one of the most ancient Russian art crafts. Using this technique, Russian folk artists decorated most of the household items that accompanied a person from birth through its entire life, where it brought joy and beauty. It also occupied a large space in the design of facades and of hut interiors.

Like most other folk crafts, the Mezen painting got its name from the area in which it originated. The Mezen River is located in the Arkhangelsk Region, on the border with the taiga and tundra. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the village of Palaschel’ye (Палащелье) located on the river Mezen had become the center of the Mezen painting on wood. Therefore, this specific type of painting also called Palaschelskaya (Палащельская).
The most ancient artefacts picturing Mezen patterns – painted spinning wheel – dates back to 1815. But it only became widespread in the 19th century.
Subjects in painting
The Mezen painting has its own distinctive ornaments. Despite its apparent simplicity, it attracts and fascinates, while the objects painted in Mezen patterns look like they are glowing from the inside and exude the good and wisdom of our ancestors.
Elements of Mezen painting
Every single detail of the ornament on Mezen paintings is deeply symbolic. Each square and diamond, leaf and twig, beast and bird are located at the exact place where they should be to tell us the story of the forest, the wind, the earth and the sky, as well as the artist’s thoughts and ancient images of the northern Slavs.
The origins of the symbols in Mezen paintings primarily lie in the mythological worldview of the peoples from the ancient North. For example, the frequent multiple layers follow the shamanic traditions: the three layers represent three worlds (lower, middle and upper). In Mezen paintings, the lower and middle layers are filled with deers and horses, and the upper layer with birds.
The characters were painted in the two traditional colors of Palaschelskaya painting – red and black.
Red horses personified the sun. Several horses, depicted one after another, indicated the movement of the sun in the sky.
Geese, swans and ducks were considered the souls of departed relatives flying close to the living and coming to help in difficult times.
Family life trees were drawn with a trunk filled with rhombuses – numerous kinds of ancestors. The tree’s curled roots symbolized the underworld and the solar sign on the top was a symbol of the heavens.
No painting is made without all sorts of waves, zigzags and spiral shapes. Numerous short strokes scattered all over the ornament or next to the main characters most likely represent air or wind – one of the primary elements of nature.
The wavy lines of the water element accompany all the straight lines of the ornaments and waterfowls.
Everything that resembles a circle (like spirals) remind us of the sun (fire). The spiral also carries other symbolic meanings. Spiral forms are very often found in nature, ranging from galaxies to whirlpools and tornadoes, from the shells of mollusks to drawings on human fingers. The compressed spiral spring is a symbol of latent power, a tangle of energy. The spiral, which combines the form of a circle and a movement impulse, is also a symbol of time, cyclical rhythms of the year’s seasons. Double spirals symbolize the balance of opposites and harmony (as the Taoist sign of “yin-yang”). The ascending spiral is a male sign, the descending one is female, which makes the double helix also a symbol of fertility and childbirth.
It should be noted that ancient signs of fertility were very popular in folk crafts and could be placed everywhere. If it was put on a plate that covers a keyhole of a granary, it meant the wish for the granary to always be full. If a sign of abundance was depicted at the bottom of a spoon, it meant the wish of never coming hunger. If they were placed on the hem of wedding shirts, they symbolized the wish for the couple to have a big and full family. Almost all of the Mezen ornaments are somehow connected with the theme of fertility and abundance. Plowed fields, seeds, roots, flowers and fruits are depicted in a variety of fashions and are very diverse.


Technology of production and the objects
Traditionally, the objects painted in Mezen patterns have only two colors – red and black. Black color was obtained from a mixture of carbon black with a solution of larch resin, whereas red paint was made from clay found on the shore, and later on from red lead.
The painting was applied on a non-primed tree with a special wooden stick, a feather of wood grouse or black grouse, or with a brush made of human hair. To achieve the bright yellow shade, the product was covered with oil varnish, and it was soaked in linseed oil to achieve softness.
These days, the technology and techniques of Mezen painting have been preserved with the exception that brushes are used more often now.
According to tradition, only men were engaged in Mezen painting, and the craft was passed down from generation to generation. At first, beginners were told about the symbols and how to combine in a pattern, and then taught to draw contours. Before drawing the ornament, future craftsmen practiced for a long time making rods and lines.
Most often, the craftsmen covered with ornament spinning-wheels, boxes, and bread baskets. Spinning wheels were made mostly of spruce or birch. In ancient times, birch wood was considered more expensive as it has a more uniform base and, therefore, higher strength. Spruce wood differed by a lighter color and the smell of its needles.
Mezen painting in our days
Nowadays, Mezen paintings are widely used in Severodvinsk and Arkhangelsk on souvenir products of the “Belomorskyе Uzory” experimental enterprise. Today, however, mainly women are engaged in painting. Modern drawings are applied with a brush and have a more streamlined shape compared with the paintings of the old days. The sketchiness and simplicity of patterns make the painted objects well perceived by the public.

Russian folk craft

Gzhel is a national Russian folk craft consisting of blue and white painting on ceramics. The region with the same name, which includes 27 villages and which is one of the Russian centers for the production of ceramics, is located 60 km from Moscow.

Gzhel has long been famous for its high-quality clay deposits. The first mention of Gzhel goes back to the 14th century.


An interesting fact about this area is that there has never been serfdom there. Gzhel belonged to the imperial court, and the craft was the main occupation of the local population. This made it possible to concentrate all forces on honing the skills and improving production technologies.

By 1812 there were 25 factories producing ceramic dishes in Gzhel. In addition to dishes, they used to make toys in the form of birds and animals, as well as decorative statues based on motives from Russian life. Shiny white figures were painted with lilac, yellow, blue and brown colors in a peculiar folk style. Flowers, leaves, herbs served as motives for the decorations.

The flourishing of the Gzhel art industry came in the second half of the 18th and the first half of the 19th centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, porcelain started being produced there. At first, painting on porcelain was colored, but in the middle of the 19th century the fashion for blue and white Dutch tiles and Chinese porcelain came to Russia. Russian craftsmen adopted the trend and very soon blue patterns on a snowy background became a hallmark of Gzhel painting.

The industrial revolution with its transition from manual labor to machine industry caused a general economic upturn in the second half of the 19th century, but at the same time virtually destroyed the Gzhel national art craft with its hand-made molding and painting. Enterprises massively switched to the production of technical porcelain for the pharmaceutical and electrical industries. Many secrets and subtleties of the artistic craft were sadly forgotten and lost.

Then there were three wars of the first half of the twentieth century with their devastation, lack of fuel and raw materials. All this, as it seemed, finally buried the artistic traditions of the Gzhel craft. But fortunately, Gzhel was reborn in the middle of the twentieth century.

The blue-and-white painting successfully fit into the cultural code of the Russian mentality – a combination of blue sky, white churches and golden domes. But the main style-forming element is a “smear with shadows” that creates a multitude of subtle gradations of blue.

Nowadays, artists and masters of the Gzhel Association are the true bearers of the Gzhel traditions. Many of them are representatives of the Gzhel dynasties. They secured and, at the same time, brought a lot of new in the artistic image of the craft. Today, their products are classics and samples of real craftsmanship.

Zhostovo Painting is a traditional Russian folk art in which metal trays are painted with lovely floral designs. The handicraft is still produced in the village of Zhostovo (Moscow Oblast).It appeared in the early 19th century mainly under the influence of the Ural handicraft of flower painting on metal. Subsequent development of the Zhostovo painting handicraft was stylistically related to porcelain and enamel painting techniques, used by factories near Moscow, flower motifs on printed cotton, produced by the Ivanovo factories, and Lukutin miniature.

 Palekh

The Palekh miniature is a folk art that developed in the village of Palekh in the Ivanovo Region. The style of painting springs from the traditions of the ancient Suzdal and Moscow schools of icon painting (15th to 16th centuries). Beginning in the 1920s, Palekh artists began decorating boxes, brooches, powder cases, spectacles cases, and ashtrays. The motifs for these miniatures were typically taken from everyday life, classic works of literature, fairy tales, folk poems, and songs. The works even won prizes at the World Expo in Paris in 1923.

Gorodets painting

Gorodets painting sprang from carved Gorodets distaffs that were manufactured in villages nearby Gorodets town in the Nizhni Novgorod Region. Initially Gorodets craftsmen used the incrustation technique to ornament the distaffs. The mid 19th century saw the transition from incrustation to painting of Distaff. Gorodets artists traditionally paint genre scenes (merrymaking, tea drinking, the famous Gorodets horse with a horseman, and folk festivities), decorative images of birds and animals (roosters, horses, lions, leopards, etc.) and flower patterns. Nowadays Gorodets craftsmen use similar imagery and motifs in their works. These are decorative panels, caskets, boxes, various sets of kitchen stuff, such as hardboards, bread bins, saltcellars, etc., as well as children furniture and toys, including the most popular painted rocking horse. The factory 'Gorodets Painting' existing from 1965 has got an experimental laboratory, where new genre compositions are devised. Along with preserving the artistic tradition and stylistic, dating to the 19th century, modern Gorodets painting keeps developing.
