From Feodorovsky embankment there is a magnificent view of the Strelka area with Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and not so splendid, but no less interesting view on the downhill rooftops and yards of Rozhdestvenskaya Street. From this embankment a monument to Maxim Gorky (by Shmagun) is looking rather thoughtfully at his beloved city. Slightly down the slope is an open book-shaped stele of granite with a quote from Gorky`s writings: "The joy and highlight of my life is the new Russian man, the builder of a new state. Comrade, you should know it and believe that you are the most important person on Earth. By doing your little part, you have already started creating a whole new world. "
Make sure to take a walk along the little bridge over the old Pochtovy or Postal road. If you appreciate the screen work of Balabanov and Mikhalkov, you will surely recognize this area depicted in the Russian criminal comedy film "Zhmurky" (Blindman`s Buff, black comedy) that was once filmed in Nizhny Novgorod. But looking down from that bridge may be only advised to those who firmly believe they have no fear of heights. This bridge has been chosen by base jumpers for jumping on a rubber rope is just like getting a new birth.
