List of top 17 attractions of Yekaterinburg

If there is time for a rustic walk - this is also necessarily visiting:

Let's start our excursion with Yeltsin Center and monument to Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin (Boris Yeltsin Street 3). Yeltsin Center Located on Yeltsin Street and this is a very new landmark in the city Yekaterinburg. Although the first president of Russia and was born in distant village Butkabut the presidential center (the tradition of American presidents) decided to build in Yekaterinburg.

Externally, this is a modern building, with a stylish facade, located in one of the best places in the city - on the shore of the pond. This building is also known for the original lighting of the facade, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich is more than 2000 square meters and it consists of 28 kilometers of LED ribbons (artist in light from Germany Stefan Hoffman), Therefore, especially a beautiful building looks in the evenings. By the way, the evening walk along the Embankment of the City Pond I recommend every guest - this is the most pleasant place for hiking and cycling Yekaterinburg.

IN Yeltsin Center Be sure to visit museum, one of the most professional museums in Russia, where the life of the first Russian president is presented in seven episodes, in the history of seven days. Also in the center there is a large bookstore, with an excellent choice of artistic, journalistic, historical literature. In stock A pair of shops with souvenirs, with such modern, but, definitely, an amateur gifts.

There are several different institutions where you can have a snack: it's a buffet, and a children's cafe, and a cafe, and a huge, always a semi-empty restaurant. And, although the restaurant menu includes explicit claims to modern Russian cuisine, I have food in Barboris I do not like, about more pleasant and authentic establishments where you can try the Ural cuisine, I will tell a little later. BUT B. Yeltsin Center you may try curd cookies from Nairs Josephovna Yeltsina, wives of the first president of Russia or cherry cake From her.

IN Yeltsin Center There are many events of the most different level: from the meetings of the Government of the Sverdlovsk region to rock concerts. Entering and leaving Center Yeltsin You will definitely pass by, made of white marble, which in the people called "chalk". Monument to President was installed earlier than was opened CentreAnd at it from time to time the vandals were attended, then the blue paint would be seen, then somehow try to spoil, because the figure of the first Russian president still looks ambiguous in the eyes of Russians: for someone it is a politician who managed to spend Russia without Revolutions through a complex transition period, and for whom it is a person who destroyed the Giant Russian Empire, created during the centuries, transformed into Soviet times the Soviet Union.

From monument to Yeltsin We go on Yeltsin Street to the city center, to Square of 1905. On Yeltsin Street there are several other objects associated with the life and work of Boris Nikolayevich: for example, our (this is such a Russian tradition, which in every regional center has its own "White House") - the first skyscraper Yekaterinburg (Located on the street on March 8, 2). He is still interesting to the topics (although the entrance on the other side of the street) that in this complex there lived B.N. YeltsinWhen he was the first secretary of the Sverdlovsk Communist Party.

On the way to Square, we will meet some more interesting objects (the guide can tell about it or you can read about it in our guide "Our Ekaterinburg. More than a red line "), and we go to Square 1905where still stands Vladimir Ilyich LeninAs a monument, and the beautiful building of today's Ekaterinburg City Hall.

City Hall and 1905 Square

Still, the main decoration of the central square of the city is the building in red-gray tones, or richly decorated and preserved in itself, sometimes imperceptibly for an inexperienced look, traces of several past centuries.

Almost 200 years in this place were Living roomswho were rebuilt a couple of times. In 1902, a big fire happened, and already in the 20s there was a 5-storey monster of glass and concrete in the style of constructivism. On the lower floors there were shops, and in the Upper - the city council of workers deputies. In 1947, the building began to rebuild again, and today's view in the style of "Stalinsky Ampire" City Council found only in 1954 - on the project G.A. Golubuva In the center of the building, a tower with gilded spire and clock-chorants was built: the diameter of the dial is 3.5 meters, the length of the clockwise is 1.6 meters, and the minute is 1.9 meters.

Admire the front columns, bas-reliefs on the facade, gypsum sculptures on the roof, depicting representatives of various employment professions, Panel "Salute Victory".

Historical details, bas-reliefs of famous Sverdlovsk, memorial plaques will open at the attentive eye. In the people the building is called Gray house. I suggest to devote a few minutes to considering this entire scenery: curly cornices, medallions and bas-reliefs, a lot of all kinds of figures - a military, collective farmer, metallurgist - on the roof of the building. I really like to consider these details, because they are very touching. This building is still wondering and the fact that it can be safe to go from the street and resemble the corridors. There is no skipping mode in the building, you can go to the dining room of the city hall, try that they eat for lunch "servant of the city".

On the square of 1905 Many interesting objects, but we go further. On the square we turn left, go through a pedestrian crossing, and if you have already been hungry, I advise you to go to a small restaurant with a strange name. Why was it so called? Because in general, it is located between 2 houses, the restaurant is not very big, the person is 30-40, in the center of the hall is located on today's fashionable tendencies Open kitchen and in this restaurant you can try modernly the Ural cuisine, prices here are low, per 1000 rubles you can dine tightly-dinner along with excellent Russian wine.

If not hungry, then we turn with lenin Avenueand go down on the wide staircase, and then you will find yourself in the most ancient part of the city Yekaterinburgon the left side limited dam. Citizens call it with light love "Dam".

Historic Square Yekaterinburg

It is from this place that began yekaterinburg cityAnd he began with a dam, blown. It is said that in the body of the existing dam, old larch trunks are still lying. Dam It continues to function, and once working at this plant has been partially demolished and partially turned into a historical monument.

Yekaterinburg, today the biggest and most comfortable city on Ural, begins his story since the desire of the emperor-reformer Peter I. Build on Ural The largest iron reinforcement plant in Russia and in Europe, and with it to create an administrative center, which brings together under its leadership all the Ural government plants. From this center should have been managed by the development of everything Urals. The first attempt of the emperor turned out to be unsuccessful: Uktuskin, built in 1704 at the place of failure rivers Uktussky in river Ineset (territory today's today Yekaterinburg), Bashkir was burned in 1718 and declined. In 1720. Peter the First Sends on Ural His companion Vasily Tatishchev In order to put in order to the mining factory affairs.

Vasily Tatishchev (1686-1750) Moscow nobleman, from 18 years old devotee Peter the first. In 1720-1723 and in 1734-1739 served on Ural, heading Gornozavodsky Board. Multifaceted scientist: they wrote a lot of scientific papers on history, economics, geography. Vasily Tatishchev gave a scientific justification for the fact that Ural Mountains They are a natural natural border between Russia and Siberia, and in the heights passes.

Vasily Tatishchev Immediately understands that the future Uktussky plant No, and begins to look for a place for the new plant. Place he found on the shore river Iset And I began to build: cleared the construction site, the stack of construction wood was harvested. He did not give him to her trouble with her pet Peter I., powerful Ural breeder, because guns and kernels with Demidov factories were the main argument in the war with the Swedes. Berg College recalls Vasily Tatishchev from Urals. Replaced Tatishchev on the construction of the plant and the city on behalf of Peter General Georg Wilhelm de GeninnArrived by Ural At the end of 1722, at the head of the team from specialists: drawers, designers, builders of fortification facilities. Georg Wilhelm de Geninn (1676-1750) perfectly knew the mining, metallurgy, under his leadership a cannonous foundry in St. Petersburg (1712), Sisbetsky (1721) and Olonetsk plants were built.

In the spring of 1723, simultaneously with the construction of the largest market in Russia, the construction of the city, the name of which was given in honor of his beloved wife Peter And in honor saint Catherine – Yekaterinburg. A better place for construction was difficult to find: full Iset, around rich forests, a lot of ore.

Yekaterinburg It is the first industrial city in the world, because here, for the first time in the world, mass industrial production has become the center and meaning of the urban settlement, by the century, determining the vector of development of this human settlement. Not trade, as was often in the history of mankind, not an administrative center, namely the production determined the nature of the city. For Yekaterinburg The animation of the principle of formation of the city around production and the animation of the principle of the city around production: 200 years after the foundation, social towns appear on its outskirts: "Uralmash", ELMASH, a little later - "Himmash". Later on this principle will be built Chicago, Deuteriumbut first was Yekaterinburg, ahead of the industrial revolution for 150 years.

Today near S. dam Many interesting little things - a capsule of time, bas-reliefs, but we turn and go on the right shore through a small park, in which there are big boulders there, in fact, it is not just a boulder, these are samples of the most famous Urals. On some stones, unfortunately, the signs are shot down, but they have been preserved for mostly, so you can make a small geological excursion along the way until we do before Museum of fine artwhich under the guidance of a very strong team led by Nikita Kopyrin Recently, turned into a museum number 1 of the city Yekaterinburg.

Museum of Fine Art
And Castinsky Pavilion

IN Museum of Fine Arts There are several very interesting collections, including the famous openwork cast-iron, which has become the top of the skill of the Castle masters. Made specifically for the International Industrial Exhibition in Paris. In 1900. Restored Castle cast iron pavilion Today is the only architectural building from the cast iron in the museum collection (which confirms UNESCO).

The museum has a good book and souvenir shop. Coming out of the museum, we will pass on a small bridge over the stamped shores Iset, Which here is particularly violent aside its waters downstream and go on the left bank, immediately before us, and a little further and above. In general, here is perhaps the highest concentration of museums in the city per square meter. All of them are located in the buildings of the former plant.

Once again we will admire the raging water falling through the rosets of the dam and on the water located in the most honorable place - stone-Rodonitextracted from southern borders Yekaterinburgwhich in Uralski is called Orlets. They say that the name is due to the fact that the eagles love to decorate their nest with pieces of Rhodonite, and the legend that Rodonit makes the younger eagle and bold. Then the locals began to put the Orlets in the cradle towards children - so that the eagles did not give up in force and courage.

What is the symbolism of the genônce placed on Daming - In the cradle of the city - it is clearly without unnecessary explanations. And we will rise by the stairs that leads to Museum of Water Towerfollowed by monument to the founders of the city of Tatishchev and de Gennin.

Monument to Tatishchev and de Gennina

Yekaterinburg - the capital of constructivism

Behind the monument to the founding fathers is small labor area and a small chapel that reminds that once in this place was the main temple Yekaterinburg. On the square is located and fountain "Stone Flower".

Fountain was built in 1960 by the architect project Demintsev: Water jets beat from concrete. Two years later, he was rebuilt based on tapping. Since they installed a fountain in Soviet times before the building of the CPSU regional committee, the Soviet pentagonal star alternates with a sickle and a hammer on every even flower petal. Wheat ears are raised over the petals, the flower core beats a jet of water from the core of a flower. The cast iron flower is cast in, and painted in green. The last 20 years between believers and unbelievers are the struggle for this fountain, who will win this struggle yet.

On the right and to the left of the square you will see buildings that are similar to each other, but they are similar to their pronounced geometric forms (the buildings are collected from the children's designer: here are cubes, here are cylinders, here are the elements-corners), characteristic exposure of the design and The abandonment of decorations (the beauty of the building is in its functionality!), the contrast of the deaf surfaces of the walls with large glazing grounds ("tape windows").

Building across the road - Glavpottamt (Lenina 39), a little resembles the tractor, was built in 1934, and in it all the time there was a central post office YekaterinburgBut, probably, no one remembers, but it was planned for a kindergarten for children of employees. Houses Communications, and gym. Then the building was called House of Communication (Such a name was in trend: built nearby House seal, House of Justice, House Office, House Defense and House industry).
And the building on the right - House of Soviets (Lenin 34) - This was the initial name of this building - it is noteworthy primarily by the fact that it was here that the first president of the Russian Federation began his political career Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin. And the connoisseurs of architecture will remember that the complex of the regional executive committee is the largest administrative building. Sverdlovsk region, Built with the style of constructivism. The building was built according to the plan "Big Sverdlovsk", which had to form several public and administrative centers on Lenin Street.

Both buildings are bright representatives of the style of "constructivism", widespread in the world in 20-30 years of last century. Yekaterinburg Recently, actively promotes as the "capital of constructivism" in Russia, since about 140 objects of this construction style have been preserved in the city. Of course, I have my own opinion on this that, because in Moscow and in other cities of Russia and the world, there are enough constructivism objects and maybe in the best condition.

And we go past fontana And past little chapel on the pedestrian crossing to the building Glavpotampt.here we see cast-iron hatchwhich means center of Yekaterinburg. And we turn to the left and, by the favorite students of Radio monument to Alexander Popov, We go to a 100-year-old beautiful building that stands high above the road.

Museum of History of Kamnese and Jewelry Art and House Sevastyanova

Why do I think it is necessary to go to this museum? Because the whole story Urals and Yekaterinburg It was always closely related to the stone and jewelry art. We know with you that Ural Mountains Very rich in minerals, precious and semi-precious stones. Do not everyone know, but we have minerals and precious stones, which were first found and described on Ural.

For example, alexandrite, this luxurious gem, first was found on Ural. One of the versions alexandrite The Finnish mineralogue was opened, a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences Nils Nordenshölddwhich on April 17, 1834 he found a strange green stone. First Nordenshild Decided that this is not quite clean. However, the measurement of the hardness of the stone gave high values: 8.5 instead of 7.5 (ordinary for emerald). Late in the evening Nordenshild Began to admire a stone with candles lit. But in the hands of a scientist instead of a green stone was a bright red crystal. So it was open alexandriteissued in honor of the future tsar Alexander II.celebrating its age on this day on this day.

Museum of stone art Not very large, only 8 halls, and, like most Yekaterinburg museums, is located in the adapted building, in the building of the former Mountain pharmacy (1820s., Architect - MP Malakhov), But the museum collection is very rich. Especially "dangerous" visiting the museum for girls - the best samples of the Ural jewelry art accumulated with decades are very impressive.

I am very recommended to visit "Emerald Room"which presents about 400 exhibits from the museum funds. Among them are mineralogical samples of emeralds, including unique "New Year's" and "Star"; Berylov, Aquamarins, Penakites, Alexandrites, precious stones of different purity and cuts, jewelry works of the famous Moscow Factory I.P. Khlebnikov, famous jewelers of the Ural school L.F. Ustianseva, A.S. Panfilova, OJSC "Jewelers Urals".
Coming out of the museum, we will immediately see a cheerful elegant, built in the Mauritanian-Gothic style (myself Sevastyanov Never lived in this house) - which is so decorating the embankment of the city. Per house Sevastyanova Turn the right and in front of you will be spread from the left bank.

Embankment of the city pond,
Cosmos Cinema and Dynamo Ship

The pond is not very large, it is only 0.7 square kilometers, but you will see that it is very beautiful and in winter, and in the summer, and especially perfectly on the pond to meet sunsets. No matter how many times the pictures of those sunsets were not laid out on the Internet, each time they cause admiration. We go along the pond focusing on one more pattern of constructivism - dynamo buildingWhich as a small blue boat can be seen on the pond arrow.

Last sample of Soviet architectural art is visible next to him - huge cosmos Cinema. But we will not reach these buildings, we will admire them from afar, as well as the building residence governor of the Sverdlovsk regionPlaced by B. tarasov's house - an old, respected, merchaous, old-supplied family, several generations of which lived in Yekaterinburg. We will turn the alley in order to get into Literary quarter.

Literary Quarter and Love Trail

- A unique phenomenon for all Russia. Here, in a small space there is one of the largest literary museums of Russia - joint Museum of the Writers of the Uralscreated in 1980 on the basis of several literary memorial museums: memorial House Museum (From it, everything started!) - It costs separately from other museum buildings (at Pushkin 27), literary and Memorial House Museum F.

The theater was opened in 1998 ( to the 275th anniversary of Yekaterinburg) play for children "Stone Flower" By tale Pavel Bazhova. In every self-respecting itself, the Russian city should be monument to Pushkin, for the only simple reason that Pushkin - This is our everything! Exactly monument to Alexander Pushkin (1999), established in honor of the 200th anniversary of the poet, ends Ekaterinburg pushkin street, Once CathedralThat wonderful, the street was renamed in the century of the poet's anniversary, in 1899.

On her in love and another unknown writer Mamin-Sibiryak walked to the hostess of a cozy mansion on Tolmachev 41, in which he lived Maria Yakimovna Alekseeva, the first civilian wife of the writer and the first muse. Large love spawned a scandal for the whole of the Urals, because Maria Alekseeva was a married woman with three children, and escaped with a novice writer. All the Mining Society was shocked, so fled in love from Nizhny Tagila in Yekaterinburg And they settled apart, so as not to tease the public. Maria Alekseeva with children in the house that is now museum of the literary life of the Urals of the XIX century, but Dmitry Mommin with mother and sister removed the room nearby - in the mansion where he lives museum of Doll. Probably, gardens and gardens, in love and walked from Mama to Mary Yakimovna and back. Maria Alekseeva presented the Mamina the plots for his novels: and "Privalov Millions" and "Factory nest". But this love is over, the trail thicket.

Temple on blood

Of Literary Quarter We go to the Huge Orthodox Cathedral. This temple is named and this is the most famous and most sophisticated landmark of the city. Yekaterinburg, familiar to the whole world.

Temple on blood Located at the Holy Quarter 1, although in some reference books it contains Tolmacheva 34. There are no contradictions in this - in 2003 by the head of the city Yekaterinburg A document was signed that several buildings included in the complex Blood Temple (Elizabethan Chapel, Patriarchard Patriarch, Temple on blood) Will be on the street Holy Quarter. It was somehow very cynically as the address of the temple built on the site of execution Royal family, Call the street named after one of the killers.

Temple Built on the place where until 1977 stood house of engineer Ipatievchosen in 1918 as a prison Nicholas II. And his family. Right here Tsarist family I met my last Easter, It is here that the wife and children congratulated Nicholas II. With his 50-year anniversary, it is here - in the basement Ipatiev house - On the night of July 16 to July 17, 1918, their earthly path ended. At first, the house was proud of, then it was ashamed, and then in 1977 by order Boris Yeltsin demolished. The territory turned into a wasteland (somehow they did not decide to build anything at this place), attracting zooak, tourists and few pilgrims.
Temple on blood built long. In 1992, the first stone was laid in the foundation of the future temple, and near the wooden chapel in honor of the only canonized presovicaries Elizabeth and Inokini Varvara – Elizabeth accounted for native sister killed in Ipatiev basement Empress Alexandre.And the fate of her was no less tragic. After laying a stone, construction stalled, as actually and much in the 90s. Construction resumed only in 2000, after the rank Royal family to the face of saints and visits in Ekaterinburg Patriarch Alexy II - He laid a memorable capsule at the construction site, and the process went.

Three years later, the temple was ready - made in the Byzantine style, five-popular, two-storey, large and elegant. Initially, it was planned to build on another project - a church-candle with one dome, more strict and sad. In 2003, the upper temple was consecled, in 2010, the lower.

Temple on blood firmly fit into the picture of modern Yekaterinburg. Today is an indispensable object of visiting all excursions and pilgrimage trips, every year on Light sadmitsa Hospitably opening the entrance to your bell tower (the most comfortable and secure in the city, if you rise there with children), when anyone can climb and call how much you want and how you want. For Christmas near the temple passes annually festival of ice sculptures - In addition to thematic competitive figures, the Christmas raids and children's slides will certainly appear, and in July a lot of pilgrims flock here to pass the congestion from Blood Temple Before night from July 16th to July 17th. Everyday life Blood Temple - These are not only daily worship services, but also the work of various Sunday schools and courses, including the non-analogues of the ocean society, school of risks and school icon painting.

Manor Kharitonov and Kharitonovsky Park,
where the traces of the Kyshtym beast got lost

Main decoration Voznesenskaya Gorki, the most glorified by its masters, guests and architects, full of mysteries, immortalized in literary works, beautifully located and quite well preserved. The appearance of such sights in our city we are obliged to one of the richest Ural merchants-Old Believers Lero Ivanovich Rastorguev (1769-1823). He started his career with the post of small employee in the merchant shop Zlobinspecializing in wine sputters with warehouses across the country, including Ural. On wine trading Distorguev It was terminated to quite solid capital, which allowed him to buy several Ural plants ( Castinsky, Kyshtomsky), and several large areas of the land on which the gold deposits were discovered.

A solid man and housing should be appropriate. therefore Lion Rastorguev acquired a plot of land on Voznesenskaya Gorka And he began the construction of a stone double-decker house - the main building of the future estate. The construction of the estate with all its services has lasted almost a quarter of a century - Lev Ivanovich himself did not have time to his end.

Why so long? Perhaps because most of the estate was hidden under the ground: in the form of extensive basements and an extensive network of therapy moves - whether for old-supplied services and meetings that were not welcomed by the authorities, or for the storage of the "golden stock" (legends about not yet found Rastorguevian treasures still excite the imagination).

The second reason for the protracted construction could be a foggy story with her architect: rumors were walking, what a solid bribe Distorguev I discharged from the reference architecture, the name of which remained mystery. The master with enthusiasm began to work, putting his whole soul into a new creation. And the merchant did not restrain this word - sent the architect back to prison. The architect to the prison fell into despair did not reach the prison - she committed himself right on the road, before death, cursed and the house, and all his inhabitants.

Lion Rastorguev Successively died in strange circumstances in the heal of forces, leaving a rich inheritance to two daughters and a young spouse (which was very suspected of involvement in the untimely death of her husband). An unfinished manor moved to his older son-in-law - Kharitonov, It is with him a palace and park ensemble acquired a finished look, with a park in English style (English Style assumed the presence of a reservoir - it was necessary to dig up an artificial lake), a stable, a shopping courtyard, gates and fences with a wrist lattice and the house-made-owned church under the dome of the main building. At the last stage of construction, an outstanding Ekaterinburg architect introduced its contribution to the formation of the appearance of the estate Mikhail Malakhov.

The heirs lived on a wide foot - the balls and massive festivities arranged, and even took the emperor in 1824 Alexander I.who arrived a trip around the country. But in 1836, both Rastorguevsky son-in-law - Kharitonov and Zotovwith light hand Mine-Sibiryaka Gotpope "Kyshtym beast" - were exiled to Finland (instead of cortica), where the traces of them were lost. And the estate began gradually to decline, leaving for the idea that it could be, and it was - the curse of the curse of the architect.

Black tulip and home officers

And we, by the monument to the Komsomolets, who bravo walk from one church to another, will go to Turgenev's Street, past a wooden lace house, in which once was private theater (In our city, not only private museums have, but also private theaters), go down the street Pervomayskaya to a complete alarming tragedy monument "Black Tulip". This memorial to the Urals to internationalists is located on the Soviet Army Square in the square of Lunacharsky streets - Pervomayskaya. IN Yekaterinburg Concepts - "military debt" and "military unit" have always been of great importance, so the appearance of this monument is no coincidence.

In 1991, the Afghans announced a competition for the creation of a monument to soldiers and officers who died during local military conflicts in other states. 15 projects took part in the competition. After several tours won the architect tandem Andrei Serov. and sculptor Konstantin Grunberg. The construction of the monument was started in 1992.

The monument is a stylized space of a freight military transport aircraft that has transported the bodies of the fallen soldiers and officers to the homeland. Such airplanes themselves "Afghans" called "Black tulips".

In the center of the composition - a mournfully bent the figure of a sitting soldier with a machine gun, around which imitating frames of the fuselage of the aircraft metal pylons with the names of the Urals who died during the fighting in Afghanistan. At ten pilons of the monument of 240 the names of the Sverdlovchan, those killed in Afghanistan. On August 5, 1995, the solemn opening of the monument took place.

At the suggestion of a number of organizations of veterans of hostilities and families of those killed in the North Caucasus, in 2003 a monument to the soldiers who died in the Caucasus, in Tajikistan and other hot spots of Russia and the CIS countries opened here. The author of the new monument also became Andrey Serov. The composition of the memorial complex supplemented the 5-meter stele from the red granite, which is cutting a symbolic mountain resistance. Around the stele vertical plates with 413 last names of the dead Sverdlovsk - military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, FPS, Guin Mighty.
Opposite the memory complex "Black Tulip" located District house officers (Pervomayskaya 27), the historical and architectural monument of the federal significance, built in Yekaterinburg In 1932 - 1941 by architect V.V. Emelyanov. In 1937, the unfinished union club of the Employees of Enlightenment was handed over Uralvo. The military at the time in the Soviet Union was the elite, so pompous was built for them House of the Soviet Army. The huge building in the style of Soviet Neoclassic is decorated with elements characteristic of the RKKA buildings (Worker-Peasant Red Army) in the 1930s - towers, spiers, heraldic emblems in sculptural finish. In the right wing of the building is located Museum of the History of the Ural Military District. In the courtyard of the museum exhibited samples of severe military equipment.

Quarter of the Light Communist Future

And now we have an excellent opportunity to go close to the bright communist future - the elite quarter, which was built as a prototype of the city of the future and was built for Chekists. Location Town Chekistov At the time, near the newly under construction of the business center of the Socialist Sverdlovsk, it is no coincidence that: Employees of the NKVD - OGPU tightly controlled the construction of construction.

Town Chekistov Designed as a residence of the command composition of this service. It was built on the project of architects I.P. Antonova, V.D. Sokolova. and A.M. Tumbasova In 1929-1936. The residential complex covers the territory of the rectangular block with an area of \u200b\u200b4.1 hectares within the streets of Lenin, Forgeon, Vasnetsovskaya (now Lunacharsky) and May Day. All residential buildings of the plant are located along the perimeter of the quarter form a saw-shaped composition.

The ten-storey building of the horseshoe-shaped form was supposed to settle lonely, small-seamy and commodited security officers, now hotel "Iset". In one of the entrances - elite apartments, with large squares. The complex had an administrative building, building Dzerzhinsky Culture Palace (now the building takes Sverdlovsk Regional Local Lore Museum). In the center - the three-story building of the nursery and kindergarten - the first in the history of the city an example of combining preschool institutions in one building, as well as a P-shaped polyclinic building with a pharmacy and hospital. The whole complex was charged with a high fence, guarded around the clock.

Socialist housing had no examples, everything was done from scratch, was invented on the go. The main idea was to provide new citizens with free housing released from prejudices of the Meshchansky life. The idea could not be implemented - the kitchen had to be caught. From the 30s to 60s constructivism was a brand Sverdlovsk, and building hotels "Iset"Built in this style, became an architectural symbol of the city. It was printed on New Year's postcards, and in 1937, a brand came out in Spain with the appearance of this ultramodern for those times the structure. True, look at "Iset" In the natural value of the chances of the Spaniards almost did not have - Sverdlovsk He was a closed city until the beginning of the nineties.

As the famous researcher of the architecture of Sverdlovsk A.A. BersenevFor the appearance of the city, he became the incarnation of proletarian in the spirit of architecture, for many years predicted complexity as the main goal of the urban planning of our century. Unfortunately, for the entire existence of the town of the building with wooden floors, and worn engineering communications were not subjected to overhaul.

Shigir idol and monument to Zhukov

From hotels Iset just a few steps to Sverdlovsk Regional Local Lore Museum (Lenin 69/10). This museum stores many interesting values, but we will tell about the most interesting. - The most ancient wooden sculpture on our planet! This archaeological miracle has been preserved due to two factors: the idol is made of a durable larch and the millennium lay in a peatman, and peat, like a natural preservative, defended him from decomposition. January 24, 1890 on The second courier view of Count A.A. Stenbock Farmrafragments of a wooden sculpture, which entered the world history, as a big Schigir idol, find count Farmore Gubed (Woole). According to the famous archaeologist V.Ya. Tolmachev The height of the idol was 5.3 m. The lower part (193 cm!) This unique ancient sculpture was irretrievably lost.

How does the famous Shigir idol? This is a thick plaque from larch, completely covered with a carved geometric ornament, which is crowned head. Faces are cut out on wide planes: three on the front side and three on the reverse. In the ornament of the idol, scientists allocate characters associated with the upper (heavenly) and the lower (underground) world, as well as figures, meaning male and women's origin, animal and vegetable world. However, not all images managed to somehow interpret.

The sculpture was performed in the center of archethometric studies. Claus Chira Heidelberg University (Germany). A radio carbonated analysis with a refined calibration curve, made in Germany using the accelerator mass spectrometry method, led to dating 11 thousand years to our time. Wooden idol of the Ural nations older than the famous Egyptian pyramids for almost 6000 years!

IN Sverdlovsk Regional Museum In 2003, special was opened hall "Schigir Storeroom"where archival photos are presented with excavations, about six hundred unique items from a peatman. Shigir idol Stored in a special showcase at a temperature of + 16cº degrees, fragments of an idol are held with thin metal brackets so that the pressure on the part of the idol is minimal.
Coming out Shigir idol Do not be lazy to make one hundred steps left and you will see the truthful (according to the townspeople) sculptural image George Zhukov - Marshal Victory. I must say that in 1995, in the year of the 50th anniversary of the victory over the fascist Germany Marshal Zhukov As many as 8 monuments were established.

Lenin Avenue: Monument to Sverdlov
And Street Art objects

Still Sverdlovsk-Ekaterinburg The city is tolerant and fairly independent of the opinions and influences of capitals and fashion. And if in Moscow in the 1990s many monuments of the Soviet era were ruthlessly lowered, then Yekaterinburg They peacefully continue to live on the streets of the city, despite the stream of time. That is why on street Lenina, between I. university building continues to call in a bright future Yakov Sverdlov. This is a monument not to a person, this is a seat of time and a reminder of how cruel is revolutions. The monument for years patiently demoloses acts of vandalism, then he will share the paint red, then empty with the material words. The monument can be called the very first object of Street Art in Yekaterinburg.

Yes, Meet, "Yekaterinburg - the capital of Street-Art". If you walk around the city in winter, you may see orange lampshades on a pair of lanterns next to the monument. 5 years ago known street Artist Yekaterinburg Dressed up city lights in home lampshades, and since then, every winter, the citizens admire themselves: "Oh, how cool we are, we have lampshades!"Although the years are passing, trends are changing in the world, thousands of new discoveries have been made, and we have lamps. From monument to Sverdlov We go to the side Houses seal And go to the courtyard, where there are several street art objects.

Many objects are created within festivalwhich takes place in Yekaterinburg On the first weekend of July. First work in the yard Houses seal From a street artist Milky.. Milky. This yard reminded New York york, where graffiti originated. The work is fully done on the money of the artist.

Here is the work from VGA.. VGA. Participate in the festival since 2010, every year they draw different masks around the city. For example, they painted masks on embankment of Iseti., on the junction on Bolshakova, in the transition to Daming. Work "Masks" - These are funny purple smiles, fixed the merry mood of the performers.

In this yard, two more works and both are connected with bulls. On one bull is drawn on the door, which for some reason they removed, the second picture was born spontaneously, in one night Stas Bags from St. Petersburg and Nikita Nomerz. from Nizhny Novgorod.

Street art is not forever, in this one of his meanings. Many art facilities have already disappeared from the streets of our city. Unfortunately, there is not a single resource, where all objects of Street-Art of the city were indicated. If you want more objects of Street-Art, you can go into the yard cinema "Salute", and we go to skyscraper Vysotsky.

Vysotsky - observation deck

Our road lies on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street and, if you hungry, it's time to go into not very big, but very cozy restaurant. The restaurant is interested in that here you can try the best dumplings in the city: this is the real Ural dumplings, it is Siberian dumplings, dumplings with salmon, with a deer, there are dumplings with a duck, there are dumplings with mushrooms, dumplings ... Better Try yourself and not Forget, we have a long trip to Uralmash.

By, past the first skyscraper "Antey"which today looks like a short one next to the younger brother - Vysotsky. W. skyscraper "Vysotsky" - very interesting story. First, this skyscraper was designed to projectors that had never previously designed skyscrapers, and secondly, the skyscraper built a man who had never built skyscrapers before.

SO the observation deck "Vysotsky" You can see not only the whole city, but also 4 reservoirs, which are located in the vicinity of the city. Why the skyscraper is name "Vysotsky"? In fact, it has nothing to do with the height of the building, the skyscraper received a name in honor poet and singer V. Vysotskywho loves the owner of the skyscraper.

Uralmash - Two legends in one place - the legendary plant of the factories and the most famous OHG "Uralmash"

In order to get on Uralmash, Sit on trolleybus. By itself, this trolleybus line on Uralmash - historical object, because the first trolleybuses went to Uralmash In 1963, at first to the 1st five-year plan (the final one was called UTO), the truth is last 20 years later Himmash.

I have already said that Yekaterinburg - This is the city of factories. And this is not said for the red sense, really our city used to be composed of cubes - districts, with close names - Himmash, Elmash, Uralmash. Each area was before the factory, and around it - a small, self-sufficient (it was all: housing, schools, hospitals, kindergarten, clubs, stadiums, their own police departments) city, which was obliged to ensure the functioning of the plant, because the main function of the city YekaterinburgStarting from 1723 and before the 1990s, there was factory production.

Start a tour worth with "Museum of the Uralmash Plant"and then climb the tribune next to monument to Sergo OrdzhonikidzeTo try to embrace with one glance, the magnificent plan of the social town. The main town planning axis of Uralmash-city, as a continuation of the central alley of the Uralmash-Plant, is called avenue Ordzhonikidze. All the large streets of the Garden city streets (and a properly organized space was important for the social town, with a large number of parks and squares), as the rays converge on the central square, the people should have fluffed to the factory pass. The project of the social town was gorgeous, though the second world prevented its full realization, but still, walking through the streets of the city, you can also find those islands of socialist construction.

After restructuring and collapse of the USSR Uralmash I suffered some of the first to do not need huge plants and huge production volumes. Uralmashevskaya OGG appeared on a small space around the 115th and 117th schools Uralmash. Perhaps, as a community of young energetic guys, it has already formed by the mid-90s. All trained at one stadium, in the same coaches. Typical guys with factory outflows, rivals of "major" youth from the center, at some point turned into a powerful criminal structure and kept all in fear Yekaterinburg. This is written about this, especially interested in reading better. But ODG "Uralmash" Added a certain fame in the city.

Afterword

On this and ends my Top 17 Sights of Yekaterinburg. I understand that it was impossible to cover the objects of a millionth city in a small tourist in a small excursion, but I tried. In fact, this is not 17 separate attractions, it is 17 small adventures, 17 small small excursions, each of which you can spend around the city Yekaterinburg

Project "Our Ural" For a long time there existed money from the sale of our books. Unfortunately, paper books enjoy every year less successful. If you want to be such a portal in the region, like "Our Ural"Support us financially. Any help from you will be valuable, and from the droplets of the rain, the streams are first formed, and then powerful rivers that fall into the sea. Thank you!

Arriving to any city for a day or two, I want to have time to inspect the maximum number of attractions and visit the "iconic" places. Ekaterinburg claims to be the title of the most compact city millionth city, so you can put the maximum number of objects into the cult program on the weekend.

Each of us has its own ideas about the beautiful, so our selection is likely to differ significantly from the generally accepted list. For example, we will not advise visit the zoo - despite the fact that it is located in the city center and there are hundreds of rare animals. There are zoos significantly more interesting - in the same Novosibirsk or Kaliningrad. This is clearly not a "visiting card" of the city.

To spend the weekend in Yekaterinburg will be interested in residents, and other nearby cities, the road of which will not take much time.

Approximate travel budget for one person - from 3500 rubles. *

To penetrate the Spirit of Yekaterinburg, first of all, go through the red line (site).

The Red Line of Yekaterinburg is a pedestrian tourist route by the historic center. The length of the route is 6.5 kilometers, it is indicated by special markup on the asphalt and includes 35 main attractions of the city - from monuments and estates to the streets and squares. Here are some of them who exactly should look:

Central Square of the city

The 1905 Square is the central and oldest square in Yekaterinburg. Here is one of the most recognizable buildings - the city administration. This is a monument to architecture in the style of neoclassicism (after reconstruction). Do not take a picture of the building of the mountains administration with its spire, clock and bas-reliefs - how not to visit Yekaterinburg. By the way, if you carefully look at the entrance, you will have a clear association with the series "Santa Barbara".

Dam

The dam is the main place for folk festivities in Yekaterinburg. The urban pond was established in 1723 during the construction of the first Ekaterinburg plant. Then the embankment appeared. Here you can swim by boat or listen to the move of the local musicians in the transition, admiring the portraits of Viktor Tsoi, admire the fountains. In any case, you will not succeed in passing and drive past the dam, even if you are very trying. Pour at least a couple of hours to have time to evaluate everything. By the way, the dam and underground transition this year in their clip was perpetuated by The Prodigy.

Monument to Tatishchev and de Gennina

It is not necessary to go away. Here, in the center, it makes sense to take a picture near the water tower in the historical square and near the monument to Tatishchev and de Gennin - the founders of Yekaterinburg. The monument appeared relatively recently, in 1998, in honor of the 275th anniversary of the city. Among the locals behind the monument, the unofficial name was entrenched - a monument to Bivis and Batthead.

House Sevastyanova

One of the most recognizable objects of Yekaterinburg - House Sevastyanova is a palace built in the first quarter of the XIX century on the shore of a city pond formed by the dam on the River Osyt. In 2008, the building was reconstructed, now the residence of the President of Russia is here. Some urban legends are connected with Sevastyanov's home. For one of them, Nikolai Ivanovich Sevastyanov planned to decorate the roof of Rotunda Gold, which he repeatedly filed petitions even to the highest name. But since gold covers only the domes of temples, this is not approved. And in the punishment of the petitioner was sentenced to walk every morning to the nearest church in cast-iron caloes. On another legend, the owner built a luxurious palace on the envy of the entire city, and he lived in a small house on the contrary and every evening, sitting on a bench in front of the house, admired his creation. Then he broke and was forced to sell the building to the Ministry of Justice.

Temple on blood

Temple on blood is another of the "mandatory" to visit the sights of Yekaterinburg. It was built on the site of the House of Engineer Ipatiev, which was kept under arrest and were shot on the night of July 17, 1918, the last Russian emperor Nicholas II and his family. The temple itself appeared at the beginning of zero and today, people come here not only to pray, but also just on the excursion: almost every sightseeing route stops here to visit the temple. By the way, it is in the blood church of Blooder Ruslan Sokolovsky caught Pokemon.

Opera theatre

Tourists coming to Yekaterinburg, we would still recommend to allocate time and go to the opera house. An indicative, perhaps, is that the inhabitants of the city are trying to get out as often as possible to see the opera or ballet. Going several times a year in the "Opera" is considered a good tone. If you are not a big lover of art, then just stroll to the theater - the building itself is beautiful and serves as one of the symbols of Yekaterinburg.

Monument to Vladimir Vysotsky and the observation deck of the BC "Vysotsky"

See the whole city from a bird's eye view - a mandatory program of the exemplary tourist. An open observation deck is located on the 52nd floor of the BC "Vysotsky". And descending on the first floor, you can go to the Vladimir Vysotsky Museum. The exposition was based on the personal belongings of the poet, the hotel room was fully restored, in which he lived, being on tour in Sverdlovsk. In the Yekaterinburg Museum, a number of exhibits are presented, which is no longer anywhere in the world. Next to the BC "Vysotsky", near the shopping and entertainment center "Antey", there is a monument to Vladimir Vysotsky and Marina Vladimir. Despite the fact that they have established him relatively recently, at locals and tourists, the monument is very popular.

Monument keyboard

Along myrasette on the embankment there is another monument - a computer keyboard, which was opened in 2005. Despite the fact that each "button" weighs from 100 kg, in a few years the keys partially plundered. However, now the monument was reconstructed.

Wainer street

To pass by the local "Arbat" is also extremely difficult. This is the main pedestrian street of Yekaterinburg and it is worth walking: first, here is the concentration of shopping centers, where you can buy souvenirs (where are the tourist without them?), Secondly - here you will find the most bizarre sculptures: "Friends", "Corobeinik "," Lovers ", Michael Jackson and, for example, the character from the" happy together "of the Bucin gene. Among other things, street musicians, actors and clowns are often performed on Weiner.

Town Chekistov

Ekaterinburg is considered the largest center of architecture constructivist. One of the most important monuments of constructivism remains the town of Chekists - a mysterious place in the city center. The quarter of residential buildings began to grow at the beginning of the 30s of the 20th century. According to legend, if you look at the Chekist town from above, you can see the sickle and hammer. Sickle is a semicircular building of the Iset Hotel, the hammer - the building of the Museum of Local Lore with Embosse.

White Tower

To visit the White Tower. You will have to leave the city center and go down in the subway (by the way, there is also something to see here), to get to the Uralmash microdistrict - here is the former Water Tower of the UTTM plant, built in 1929-31 for the project Moses of the Reisher .
The White Tower is recognized as an avant-garde architectural monument. For a long time she was abandoned, now active work is underway to restore it, excursions and cultural events are held.

Beaches of Yekaterinburg

If you decide to sunbathe in Yekaterinburg (which, of course, depends on the weather), it is worth paying attention to the lake Chartash. You can relax here in two ways: cheap and angry and comfortable. The main thing, the Ministry of Emergency Situations recognized the switches suitable for swimming. Important plus - to leave outside the city will not have to.

The lake is located within the city. Neither sun beds, no umbrellas are provided here. Therefore, you need to go with your "accessories."

Route: You can get to Chartasha on buses number 13K, 25, 61, trams number 8, 13, 15, 23, 32.

The second option is a holiday in the beachclub Sandali. It is located on the southern shore of Chartasha. On the territory there is a volleyball court and a play area for children. Shower cabins are also installed, a chamber for storing things, and you can rent a beach inventory: sun beds, umbrellas, mattresses, towels. Entrance to the beach complex is free. Rent a deck chair - 200 rubles.

Sandali address: Sand Street, 13a.

Where to eat

Inexpensively dinner can be in the very center of the city: in the building of the hotel Iset (by the way, this is also a monument of constructivism) There is an institution "kitchen factory". It opened on the site of the cult "Ural Pelmeni". The average check for the center of Yekaterinburg is quite democratic - 200 rubles.

Here you can ride in glass elevators overlooking the embankment or sit at the fountains on the second floor. The entrance ticket costs 200 rubles.

And we have

Like some other cities of the Urals, Ekaterinburg was founded in 1723 at the same time with the construction of the Metallurgical Plant and was named after Spouse Peter I - Catherine.

Nowadays, Ekaterinburg is the largest and beautiful city of Urals, which preserved its originality and attractiveness due to a significant number of temples, old mansions, palaces and parks, pre-revolutionary architecture monuments, etc.

Temple on blood

One of the most visited places in Yekaterinburg is a beautiful temple on the blood, built in 2000-2003. In the Russian-Byzantine style. Until 1977, Ipatiev's house was standing at this place - the infamous mansion, the last refuge of Nicholas II and his family members. In the basement of this house on July 17, 1918, they were shot, and their bodies were secretly exported for burial in the abandoned mine Ganin Hama near the city.

In 1977, the house was demolished to finally erase from the memory of citizens the story of this place.
