Yekaterinburg
“The ancient city, the glorious city, the name of Catherine” — lyrics of this song and a variety of other songs are dedicated to Yekaterinburg. The industrial city of miners and artisans has become widely known due to the fact that the family of Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia, and his retinue were shot here. Later, it was decided to erect Church on the Blood. In turn, the remains of the royal family were transported to Peter and Paul Cathedral, St. Petersburg. It is clear that there is nothing to be proud of, which is why the city residents are not very fond of talking about this fact. However, memorial places are very popular among tourists. Simultaneously, it is here that the most advanced factories and plants of Tsarist Russia were based.
