The city and its chronicle ·

A city where every story has an address

An event in Nizhny Novgorod does not vanish with the news feed — it stays in the history of the object it happened to: a building, a plant, a street, a person. Every statement carries a link to its source, and the source itself goes to the web archive.

City chronicle

last 31 days
  • A source is required. A statement without a link never enters the system.
  • No hand editing. You bring a source — the machine updates the article.
  • The legacy is kept. The original of every article is preserved for good.
  • Provenance is recorded. Outlet, date, link and excerpt — even if the link dies.

Objects that drew the most events: an article gains a chronology instead of a single note — that is what an encyclopedia does and a news feed does not.
