Ekaterinburg. Constructivism and Avante-garde in the city
From 1 200₽ per person
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 3 hours
* For those who do not like classical sightseeing tours, we offer an author's route from the popularizer of urban history and the author of publications about the Sverdlovsk avant-garde architecture. The route unites the most striking objects in the center of Yekaterinburg in the late 1920s - mid-1930s. Plunging into bold plans to rebuild the city in the early Soviet era, you will also learn the main codes of the city, formed over 300 years of its history.
During the tour, you will get acquainted with the basic principles of avant-garde architecture, learn to distinguish between early Soviet architecture and pre-Soviet (as well as Stalinist) classics, and figure out which ideas from 100 years ago have still not lost relevance in architecture and urban planning. During the tour, the emphasis is not only on the exterior of architecture, but also on how it shapes a person. Stories from the life of citizens, everyday sketches, culture bring the necessary variety to the story of Sverdlovsk constructivism.
The route connects the following objects:
- the building of the City Council ("Yekaterinburg town hall") and the Regional Committee of the CPSU(b),
- House of Communication and House of Printing,
- the Paris Commune Square and the real House of Industry and Trade surrounding it, the Bolshoy Ural Hotel and the phantom Synthetic Theater,
- the largest house is the commune and the famous Town of the Chekists.

Екбгуляем - сообщество экскурсоводов в Екатеринбурге, предлагающих авторские экскурсии по разным локациям города и Урала. Наша миссия: помогать понять, за что можно город любить.
Сообщество объединилось в 2019 году. Участники Екбгуляем - люди с богатым жизненным опытом, представители разных профессий (журналисты, дизайнеры, преподаватели, культурные проектировщики и т.д.), часть экскурсоводов имеют степень кандидатов наук.
Мы работаем с индивидуальными туристами, жителями города, а также готовы проводить групповые экскурсии для корпоративных заказчиков.
Мы готовим каждую экскурсию под конкретного заказчика и готовы браться за новые темы и направления. Каждая экскурсия - это результат серьёзной исследовательской работы в архивах, сбор личных историй (true story), подборки уникальных документов и фотографий.
