22. The Host City
22.1 Intro to the city
Ekaterinburg is one of the largest cities of the Russian Federation. It is an administrative
capital of the Sverdlovsk Region and the Ural Federal District. Nowadays the city is an
important center of industry, transport, finance, science and culture.
The city was founded in 1723 and is situated in the heart of the Eurasian continent, on the
border of Europe and Asia and in the middle of the Ural Mountain Range. It is located on the
eastern slope of the Ural Mountains along the Iset River.
Total area of Ekaterinburg is 491 square kilometers.
The city is at 1667 kilometers' distance away from Moscow and at 7635 kilometers' distance
away from Vladivostok. The time zone of Ekaterinburg is UTC+6 (two hours ahead of Moscow
and six hours ahead of Greenwich). A flight from Moscow to Ekaterinburg takes two hours,
while a train trip takes 25 hours.

22.2 Sightseeing and Must Sees
Ekaterinburg, one of the most interesting cities in the Urals, is full of tourist attractions. Each
era of the city’s history is embodied in its architecture: the merchants’ houses and old
schools, strict constructivism and bold modern sculptures. The main attractions are linked by
a 6.5 km-long tourist route, called the “red line”. You can complete it in about half a day,
following the red markings on the road.
Life is always in full swing on Ekaterinburg’s main street “Prospect Lenina” with its many
shops, museums and other cultural venues. Here, you will find one of the most beautiful
buildings in Ekaterinburg – the house of Sevastyanov from the late 19th century. Tourists are
attracted by the pedestrianised Vainera street with its many restaurants and fun
contemporary sculptures. The favorite place among young people are the banks of
the “Plotinka” urban reservoir, where all the city festivals are held. And the spirit of old times
can be felt by visiting Kharitonovsky Gardens with its pavilion near the Kharitonov-
Rastorguev country estate from the early 19th century.
Ekaterinburg’s museums are definitely worth to see. The Museum of the History of
Jewellery and Lapidary Art of the Urals has a large collection of natural and man-made stone
masterpieces. The small, cozy A.S. Popov Radio Museum, with its collection of vintage
receivers, and the V.S. Vysotsky Ekaterinburg Museum featuring personal belongings of the
singer and poet, are dedicated to the great people who lived and stayed in the city. Also there
is the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Centre, which tells the story of the first president of the
Russian Federation. This impressive list ends with the Ekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts with
its collection of paintings, applied arts and crafts and unique cast ironwork – the pride of the
Urals.
Ekaterinburg does not forget its history. There’s the new Church on the Blood, built on the
site of the demolished (and sadly infamous) Ipatiev House, where the Russian royal family was
shot. The graceful Church of the Ascension of the Lord, reinstated as a church, shines gently
between the tree branches. Near the “Great Ural” hotel, where Vysotsky stayed, is one of the
most romantic monuments of the singer, as if playing a serenade to his beloved wife Marina
Vladi. And a monument to the keyboard, apparently, represents its modern history.
