I haven't found a lot of video footage of Yekaterinburg online in English so I thought I had to make up for it.The town has been a closed one for western tourists for the most part of the 20th century that's why not so many people know about it. It is the 4th largest city in population in Russia (after Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk) and its an industrial center of the Ural region. I was born in this beautiful town and I still live here. Although it's mainly known for the Tsar family brutal murder it has many other things to offer. It was founded in 1723 by Peter I as an industrial capital of Russia and remains such today. So I grabbed a video camera & drove around town shooting the most spectacular scenes. I hope you'll get a better idea of Yekaterinburg. Most songs I used in the video are by Alexander Novikov, a local singer, known well throughout Russia. It's a great learning tool - training your listening skills
