Швейцария, Zoo in Prioksky District, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

The zoo "Switzerland" opened in 1997 in Nizhny Novgorod's Prioksky District, at the "Medical Institute" stop, and was later renamed "Mishutka". Its enclosures held deer, lynx, wolves, a camel, tigers, raccoons and birds of prey and domestic fowl. In 2018 it closed, and by autumn 2020 it was liquidated, with all animals transferred to other zoos.
