Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 3 hours
* Tour of the core of the famous "Soviet district" of Yekaterinburg - the social town of Uralmash. Uralmash is not only the world-famous Ural Machine-building Plant, but also a socialist city with a ray building and the concept of a "garden city", built according to a unique design by architect Peter Vasilyevich Oransky. The engineering and technical intelligentsia lived in the core of the social city, which was provided with the best housing. Now they are recognized masterpieces of Soviet elite buildings in Yekaterinburg. You will make an evolution in the elite buildings of Uralmash: you will find out what luxury housing looked like in 1928, 1932, 1935, the 1940s and 50s and the 1990s and 2000s, and you will touch the secrets of the daily life of the Uralmash elite throughout the ninety-year period of the history of the socialist city.
On the tour you will learn:
• How has the concept of luxury housing changed throughout the history of Uralmash and in what architectural styles has it been embodied?
• Who was the initiator of the elite development on Uralmash?
• What was the difference between the daily life of the Uralmash elite (shop managers, managers, foreign specialists, directors) and the lives of other factory workers?
• How did the residents of the elite quarter "Noble Nest" and the residents of the barracks located nearby get along with each other?
• How did the Uralmashevites "thundered" throughout the Union in the "smuggling case"?
• Who was the most famous dude on Uralmash?
• What games did the "children of the Noble Nest" play and where did they get bamboo sticks for games?
• Why did the first secretaries of the Sverdlovsk regional Committee of the CPSU prefer to dress at Uralmash?
Also during the tour, participants will be able to participate in real "Uralmash rituals":
• they will walk along Ilyich Street to the march of "Enthusiasts" "after the hoot of the CHP", as the residents of the district did on their way to the plant.
• they will play the hooligan game of the Uralmash punks.
• they will dance rock and roll to the favorite song of Uralmash dudes of the 1950s.

Меня зовут Анастасия Печерских. По основной профессии я историк. Более 10 лет я провожу экскурсии. Долгое время я работала музейным экскурсоводом, а с 2018 года провожу экскурсии по Уралу и Екатеринбургу. Мой любимый формат: исследовательские экскурсии, когда я могу поделится с участниками экскурсии не только новейшей информацией о городе, но и собственными исследованиями о городе на основе архивных документов и фотографий, а также личных архивов горожан. Кроме того, на моих экскурсиях можно услышать интервью с горожанами, услышать их личные истории, увидеть, как проходит жизнь домов изнутри, узнать необычные факты из городской повседневности. Мои экскурсии будут интересны тем. кто хочет глубже узнать городскую историю, прочувствовать ход городской жизни, ощутить смену эпох, прикоснуться к тайнам нашего города, увидеть жизнь домов изнутри, услышать истории из жизни различных категорий горожан.
