— Gljadí, gljadí, kak xorošó! Vot on, bátjuška, Nížnij-to! Vot on kakój, bógov! Cérkvi-te, gljadí-ka ty, letját búdto! - I remember Grandmother’s childlike joy when she first saw Nizhny. Holding me by the hand, she pulled me to the rail and cried:
‘Just look! It’s so beautiful! Nizhny! What a city! Can you see those churches there – they seem to be flying through the air!’
