a bit on the last Tsar's murder in Yekaterinburg should be put in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblast_Swerdlowsk is still not existing and should be picked up. Bernd
Go for it, dude! Ellsworth 14:35, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's really silly, why didn't they change the Oblast names as well? Saint Perersberg, the main city of Leningrad Oblast... --Vladko 18:17, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
- I would guess the reason was to compromise. There were people who were opposed to the cities' name changes, so they got to keep the oblasts names to even it out. Plus, retaining some of the Soviet names makes it look like the Russian history is not re-written all over again, as it had happened more than on one occasion in the past.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 22:00, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
- I think it is also because it’s more hard to pronounce Yekaterinburgskaya oblast’ then Sverdlovskaya oblast’. :) 217.151.225.40 15:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heavy plants & Transsib
There are so many, and only Uralmash mentioned? and not even formatted as link? That's just strange.
All the universities/academies are listed, and not much more... As if the whole city was a big school.
Not even a reference to the Trans-Siberian railway :-(
[edit] Yekaterinburg Reference
[edit] Yekaterinburg Reference
This article really needs to put in stuff about Yekaterinburg's reference. No help to my paper!:(
[edit] No Culture?!
This article lacked the culture section in this article. This discussion on changes is more like a complaint. This article needs a culture section. It did not help me at all on my project, which needs culture. Please get some culture in here! Thanks!
[edit] Yekaterinburg "LInks"
TO ALL: The second link has been updated to a month before today. There has also been a culture section added. Just some information nedded spreading. Thanks.
[edit] Literacy Anyone?
I really needed to find stuff about the literacy for a debate, but I didn't spot anything about that one here.
- Do you mean the literacy rate in this city? I don't know for sure, but I'd think it's unlikely to be any lower than Russia's average—definitely in the range of 95-99%.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 02:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map
How about adding a map? +Hexagon1 (talk) 04:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Education
"[...]Yekaterinburg is considered the leading educational and scientific center of the Urals. Urals A.M. Gorky State University, Ural State Technical University, Urals State Pedagogical University,Urals State University of Forestry, Urals State University of Mines, Urals State University of the Railways, Russian State Vocational Pedagogics University, Urals State University of Economics, Military Institute of Artillery, Urals State Conservatory, Urals State Agricultural Academy, Urals State Academy of Law, Urals State Academy of Medicine, Urals State Academy of Performing Arts, Urals Academy of Public Service, and Urals Academy of Architecture are among them."
I think the education section is a bit silly. I mean, do we really need to have a list of redlinks three-four lines long? I think the redlinks could be removed from this list, and just leave the existing there. --HJV 12:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- We can re-format them as a list. Actually removing them from the text is what I would consider to be silly. It's perfectly good information, and the links will eventually turn blue, albeit not overnight. Having a lot of red should be a motivation to write articles, not to remove information.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 14:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] prison camp mention?
what about mentioning the prison camp? here is a video of the camp--Tvwatcher (talk) 06:37, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- If you can provide a reliable source (meaning a youtube video is out), I don't see why not.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Chernobyl
no mention here that sone parts of ekaterinburg forest was so heavily polluted by chernobyl that it'll be a no go area for at least 25,000 years, and if you go there at night theres glowing luminescent fungus growing on some trees....
for a breathtaking series of photos on chernobyl see elena filatova's site
