What is Interesting in the city?
There are a lot of places of interest in Ekaterinburg - it has a unique mixture of different architectural, historical, and cultural rarities, which may never be repeated. More than 60 monuments of history and culture are located in the city, and 43 of them are considered to be national monuments because of their special significance. That is why Ekaterinburg can claim the formal status as Russia's most historical city.
At present, Ekaterinburg is one of Russia's biggest industrial centres. It's enterprises produce industrial goods for heavy machinery and chemical plant construction, for transportation, and military purposes.
Ekaterinburg is not very old, but over the course of its 280-year history, it has proven itself to be a special and even unique city - not only by it's geographical location, but also by a role as one of the founders of Russian industry. The heart of Ekaterinburg is its dam, which permitted the initial development of the city's industrial base. It was first erected in 1723 and has been reconstructed twice since - now it is recognized as an industrial monument of the 18th century.
Unfortunately, very few buildings of the old factory area have been preserved. Those that do, house the Museum of History, Architecture, and Technology of the Urals, and the Natural Museum - both of which are located in the so-called Historical Park. The oldest building of Ekaterinburg, which dates from 1764 and recently reconstructed, is also situated here. At present this is the Fine Arts Museum. Ekaterinburg of the 18th century was a wooden city, however, the city's first buildings of stone construction also appeared here during this period. At most these were administrative buildings - for example, the Main Board of the mining factories, where the Urals Conservatory is located now.
In the late 18th and the early 19th centuries a new architectural style - classicism, influenced Ekaterinburg landscapes. The palace on Voznesenskaya Hill, with its luxurious park, is the most famous example of this style. Many churches and chapels made the city's panorama very beautiful and picturesque. In the beginning of the 20th century there were about 50 churches, of which only 6 still stand today.
There are quite a few buildings in the constructivist style within the city - typical of this are such examples as the Main Post Office, the Uralskij Rabochij (Ural Worker) printing house, the movie studio, the famous White Tower, the Dinamo recreational centre, etc.
The Soviet period brought new trends to Ekaterinburg's architecture - luxury and rationalism, which reflected the influence both of ideology and asceticism. New tendencies in the development of world architecture have also affected the city. Some of the most well known structures of this time include the Military Headquarters, the Ural Great Polytechnic University, the Railroad Administrative Building, and the Philharmonic Theatre.
The city's history is full of events -many expeditions to Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East passed through Ekaterinburg.
The city was visited by many Russian tsars and members of their families.
The first Russian president, Boris Yeltsin lived and worked here during the 1960s and 1970s.
Among the many monuments in Ekaterinburg are the monuments to Bolshevik Malyshev and The Black Tulip - Russian soldiers during the Afghan campaign named the aeroplanes which delivered the coffins of their dead comrades back to Russia The Black Tulips.
There are so many remarkable places in the 280-year-old Ekaterinburg, that all cannot possibly be described in this small web site. This brief information is intended to provoke the interest of Ekaterinburg's inhabitants and guests of the Urals to the history of our remarkable city.

THE LEANING TOWER OF NEVYANSK - Ural, Russia
THE LEANING TOWER OF NEVYANSK
A unique 18th century construction, a monument of Russian stone architecture. Quite a number of scholars view it as being similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. Some historians are inclined to think that it was built in honor of the Demidovs becoming members of the nobility

Capital of the Urals - Yekaterinburg ++REPLAY++
(28 Jun 2018) LEADIN:
World Cup host city, Yekaterinburg, is the Capital of the Urals and home to former Russian President, Boris Yeltsin.
The city witnessed one of the most crucial moments of Russian history and proudly serves some impressive pelmeni dumplings too.
STORYLINE:
Located in the heart of the Ural Mountains, opposition-minded Yekaterinburg has played a role in many crucial moments of Russia's history.
In 1918, the last Russian Czar, Nicholas II and his family were executed here.
Today, at the execution site, the Church on Blood - as it's known - stands as a monument to the event.
Built in 2003, on the ground floor it houses a restored basement, popularly known as the Shooting Room.
The history of the Romanov dynasty ended right behind us, explains historian Sergei Sokolov.
Here was the house of the engineer Ipatiev, located in the beginning of the 20th century, where Bolsheviks brought the last emperor and his family from Tobolsk in 1918.
Here they spent a few months, from April to July, and in mid-July, on night of the 16th, the whole family and servants were executed in the basement of this house.
The original Ipatiev house, where Nicholas II and his family were executed, was demolished by another historical figure, Boris Yeltsin, in 1977.
At that time, Yeltsin was the leader of the Sverdlovsk communist party, just starting his career.
Around 14 years later, he became the first president of a new, democratic Russia.
Yeltsin was born in the tiny village of Butka, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) east of Yekaterinburg.
He held a deep emotional connection to the region until his death in 2007.
To pay tribute to him, the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center, one of the largest and most modern museums in Russia, was opened in 2015.
It exhibits not only explore the period of Russian history under Boris Yeltsin, but also Russian history as a whole.
Among other rarities exhibited in the center is this nuclear briefcase.
Boris Yeltsin was from here, from the Ural region, explains director Dina Sorokina.
He started his career here, in Sverdlovsk, as Yekaterinburg used to be known then, during the Soviet times.
And the beginning of his career certainly takes roots here, in the Ural region, in Sverdlovsk. However, there is also an emotional connection to it.
Yekaterinburg's restaurants specialise in dumplings - or 'pelmeni,' as they're known in Russia.
Historians say dumplings came to the Urals from China, but residents claim the Urals is actually home to the world-famous dish.
Nowadays, pelmeni come with many different fillings, but meat-filled dumplings are the most popular.
The classic recipe of pelmeni is quite simple - mincemeat of pork and beef is wrapped in thin, unleavened dough.
(Ural) people are working class. We work here, especially men, they work hard, explains chef Larisa Sychyova.
There are a lot of factories, that is why the priority is meat, meat, and meat. That is why in the Urals and Siberia (pelmeni) is our priority.
Ural dumplings can be found in almost every café or restaurant. It's claimed they're especially good with vodka.
For a late-night drink, there are dozens of bars and clubs located around the city centre.
There are plenty of clubs, plenty of fun venues where one can rest, hang out, go crazy, says partygoer Artyom Yaroslavtsev.
There are venues with tasty food, take a rest, drink beer, listen to musicians, jazz musicians, rock musicians. One can hang out with techno or deep house.

Walking the Hidden Alleyways of Portland
This was a fun little venture. I used to think Portland barely had any alleys around town only to realize you just gotta know where to look. One day I noticed in a certain little part of southeast Portland there's, just on first glance, some of the sketchiest looking alleyways around. And it's a little twist for those who think alleyways and think paved thin routes between buildings. Nope... these are mostly beat up, muddy back trails... which makes it more interesting if you ask me.

Ciudad Nizhny Nóvgorod - Rusia 2018
Nizhni Nóvgorod (en ruso Ни́жний Но́вгород, Nižnij Novgorod, ‘Ciudad nueva de Abajo’) es una ciudad ubicada en el oeste de Rusia, capital del óblast homónimo y del distrito federal del Volga. Con 1 950 615 habs. en 2010 es la quinta más poblada del país, por detrás de Moscú, San Petersburgo, Novosibirsk y Ekaterimburgo. Se encuentra en la confluencia de los ríos Volga y Oká. De 1932 a 1990 llevó el nombre de Gorki (Горький) en honor del escritor Máximo Gorki nacido en la ciudad.
En 1817 Nizhni Nóvgorod se convirtió en un gran centro de comercio del Imperio Ruso. En 1896 en la feria se celebró una exposición de toda Rusia. Durante el período soviético, la ciudad se convirtió en un importante centro industrial. En la ciudad se construyó la planta de Automóviles de Gorki. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial Gorki fue el proveedor más grande de equipo militar al frente oriental. Debido a esto, la Luftwaffe constantemente bombardeó la ciudad desde el aire. La mayor parte de las bombas alemanas explotó en la planta de Automóviles de Gorki. Aunque se destruyeron por completo la mayor parte de los edificios, los ciudadanos reconstruyeron la fábrica en 100 días.
Después de la guerra, Gorki se convirtió en una ciudad cerrada. En 1985 se abrió el metro. Después de la disolución de la Unión Soviética, en 1990, la ciudad pasó a llamarse de nuevo Nizhni Nóvgorod. En 2016, Vladímir Putin inauguró una nueva planta de industria de defensa llamada 70º Aniversario de la Victoria.
Nizhni Nóvgorod es un centro político, económico, científico y cultural de Rusia. Es el mayor centro de transporte y el centro administrativo del Distrito Federal del Volga. Es un punto principal de escala de los barcos turísticos que recorren el curso del río Volga. Tiene un centro antiguo bien conservado, con muchos monumentos históricos, arquitectónicos y culturales únicos que han hecho que la UNESCO incluya Nizhni Nóvgorod en la lista de las 100 ciudades del mundo que representan el valor histórico y cultural del mundo. El Kremlin es el principal centro de la ciudad. En su interior se centran las principales autoridades municipales y del Distrito Federal del Volga.
