Nizhny Novgorod by the end of the XIX century became one of the largest in the Russian Empire. Water and rail transport connected it with the capitals and ports. Factories, mills, and shipyards were built. The fair, which was moved from the Makaryevsky monastery, increased its turnover and promoted the development of industry, trade and international economic relations. In 1896, Nizhny Novgorod was the first non-Metropolitan city to be chosen as the venue for the all-Russian industrial and art exhibition, which became the largest in the history of Russia.

The appearance of the city was changing. The first tram on the territory of modern Russia, a new theater building, a new plashkout bridge, two land funiculars and many buildings of remarkable beauty, including the Nikolayev theater on Bolshaya Pokrovskaya, have appeared.
