nak-nn1.narod.ru is the website of the Nizhny Novgorod Aeromodelling Club (NAK), hosted on the free hosting service "Narod.Ru" and listed in the nn.ru directory[1]. The earliest surviving snapshot of the home page is dated 18 October 2002[2]; as of a check in August 2026 the site at this address was still responding.
What the site looked like and what it offered
The home page opened with an elaborate greeting in the recognizable style of amateur websites of the early 2000s: "Hello! Don't fly past, come in for a landing. We are very glad of your soft landing on the runway of our little page" — as the home page put it[2]. The text described the club as the successor to an earlier Nizhny Novgorod aeromodelling movement, citing as symbolic points of reference the aviators Pyotr Nesterov and Valery Chkalov, and stated that the club brought together both titled figures well known to everyone and simple amateurs of light aviation[2].
The site's menu consisted of the sections "About the Club" (history and membership), "Competitions" (information on past and current competitions in Nizhny Novgorod and beyond), "Photo Album" (pictures from competitions in the club's home city, other Russian cities, and abroad), "Hangar" (drawings, model descriptions, and advice), "Links" (leading to partner and fellow enthusiasts' sites), and "Guest Book" for visitor comments; the page was signed "President of NAK LLC Andrei Kurylev" — as the home page put it[2]. The material preserves no mention of a phone number, postal address, or visitor counters on the page itself.
Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet
Information about the site entered the reference material through its presence in the nn.ru directory, which serves as the site's Nizhny Novgorod tie-in apart from the page's content[1]. The surviving sample records no data on the results of voting in the Nizhny Novgorod Internet Day or on the site's position in the Counter.nn.ru — this reflects an absence of data in the sample rather than an absence of traffic to the site itself at the time[1]. For more on the methodology used to track such sites within the broader context of the Nizhny Novgorod Internet and on how the Archival study of the Nizhny Novgorod internet from the counter.nn.ru rating is structured, see the corresponding encyclopedia articles.
Fate of the address
The text of the site's home page did not change between the earliest recorded snapshot of 18 October 2002 and the snapshot of 12 November 2018 — both contain an identical greeting and the same list of sections[2][3]. The latest snapshot of the home page known from the material is dated 1 September 2025 and matches earlier versions in text[4]. The material contains no information about the site moving to another domain. As of a check in August 2026 the site at this address was still responding.
