Volga Federal District
The Kremlin – the main center of the city – contains the main government agencies of the city and the Volga Federal District. The demonym for a Nizhny Novgorod resident is “нижегородец” ("nizhegorodets") for male or “нижегородка” ("nizhegorodka") for female, rendered in English as "Nizhegorodian". "Novgorodian" is inappropriate; it refers to a resident of Veliky Novgorod, in northwestern Russia. Nizhny Novgorod was one of the host cities of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
