Nizhny Novgorod is the fourth largest city in Russia, ranking after Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novosibirsk. It is the economic and cultural centre of the vast Volga-Vyatka economic region, and also the administrative centre of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and Volga Federal District. From 1932 to 1990 the city was known as Gorky after the writer Maxim Gorky who was born there. The city is an important economic, transport and cultural centre of the nation. During much of the Soviet era, the city was closed to foreigners to safeguard the security of Soviet military research and production facilities, even though it was a popular stopping point for Soviet tourists travelling up and down the Volga in tourist boats. Unusually for a Soviet city of that size, even the street maps were not available for sale until the mid-1970s.
