City Park in Yekaterinburg (Russia) online puzzle
Yekaterinburg is a large Russian city, situated at the foot of the Ural mountain range, on the border of Europe and Asia. Between 1924 and 1991 Yekaterinburg that is located on the river Iset was called Sverdlovsk, commemorating the Bolshevik leader Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov. The city has many black pages in its history - this is where the family of Tsar Nicholas II were executed, POW camps were organized during World War II and finally there was an anthrax outbreak, which was attributed to the work on biological weapons in 1979. Today, however, Yekaterinburg is a modern, well-maintained city, an important industrial, cultural and scientific center. Elegant tower blocks, including those belonging to the Antey business complex, are surrounded by green lawns and carefully tended rows of trees.
