Peoples of Nizhny Novgorod — Meme, which, according to LiveJournal, came from a proclamation Kuzma Minin.
A record that has survived to the present day Minin's Appeal, is as follows:
|
"O, brothers and friends, all the Peoples of Nizhny Novgorod! What shall we do now, seeing the Muscovite state in such great ruin?.. Let us summon to our city of Nizhny Novgorod the brave and valiant warriors of the Muscovite state, the trusted nobles of the city of Smolensk, for they are now near our city, Arzamas" | 
|
K. Minin was likely referring to the peoples living in the territory of Nizhny Novgorod Governorate. Such as Mordva, Muroma, Mari and so on.
Currently, the meme “Peoples of Nizhny Novgorod” does not have any ethnic connotations; rather, it refers to all types of people living in this region, such as: Authority, Businesspeople, Minorities, Just regular folks, Hard workers, Thugs, and the like.

Interesting Facts
- Only in the language Mordva/Erzya Some Baltic vocabulary is present, which indicates a Baltic component among the Mordva-Erzya. Many Erzya are descendants of the Balts who moved eastward from the middle reaches of the Oka River and were subsequently Finnicized. It is highly likely that the Muroma and Meschera peoples of the Oka River had a similar origin and were Slavicized.
- The Erzya-speaking Finns are, for the most part, Northern Cro-Magnons in terms of phenotype, often with significant depigmentation. The Belarusians, in turn, emerged through the intermingling of Baltic groups, namely the Lithuanians and the Yotvingians.
