Talk:Nizhny Novgorod Fair

Makaryev / Makarjevi Fairs
This sounds stupid, but I have found sources which mentiones kameli with karavani arriving from east loaded with trading goods to Makarjevi fairs. The goods included also tea (tsaiju) from China sold in Makarjevi (name from Greek Makarios). The tea traders came from Central Asia near China and they sold tea at much lower prises than imported via Great Britain and Netherlands to St.Petersburg and Moscow.

Nizhjegorodskaja Jarmarka (Niznij Novgoroder markets)
V XIX v.Nizhjegorodskaja jarmarka v. krupnejshaja v Rossii, utsrezhdjennaja jeshtshje v 1524 g. v Vasilsurskje, zatem perjenjennaja v. Makarjev, a v 1817 g. - Nizhnij Novgorod.

This text seems to be the offical local Russian version. Mari Vasilsursk (Russian name for) Mari trading place located at the mouth of Sura River is not mentioned in main article at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.126.143 (talk) 15:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
