Introduction to Chem 237 Organic Lab IChemistry DepartmentTexas A&M University Chemistry 237 This course is the laboratory course connected with the first-semester organic lecture course: Chemistry 227 – Organic Chemistry I Although these two courses do not have to be taken at the same time, the lab course is intended to supplement the lecture to some extent. You can take the lab course later, but you cannot take it first. 1 Prerequisites - Chem 237The prerequisites for registration in Chemistry 237 lab are: concurrent registration in or credit for Chemistry 227 and credit for Chem 112 or Chem 114 laboratory. (A passing grade is required for credit in any course. )IMPORTANT - Chemistry 107 alone is NOT a sufficient pre-requisite for Chem 227 or Chem 237. Two semesters of General Chemistry are required.Note: Students who have tested out of Chem 101 and Chem 102 have appropriate credit.Prerequisites (cont.) Concurrent registration in Chem 112 or Chem 114 and Chemistry 237 is not allowed. There is a safety hazard involved with registration in the Organic Laboratory without proper background. This course builds on the knowledge and experience from the previous courses. You will be required to sign a statement that you meet the prerequisites for registration in this Organic Laboratory course. Turn this statement in at the end of today’s class. 2 Prerequisites (Cont.) Any student discovered providing false information with regard to their prerequisite statement may be charged with ‘Fabrication’ under the rules of the Aggie Honor System. This charge may be brought at anytime that this discrepancy is discovered, regardless of the point in the semester at which this discovery is made. NOTE: Any student who Q-drops Chem 227 during the semester, should also drop Chem 237. Student Rules state that this will be counted as only 1 Q-drop. We WILL enforce this requirement!Laboratory Coordinators Dr. K. E. Harding, Coordinator, [email protected]  Dr. R. Hildreth, Technical Coordinator, [email protected]  Ms. C. A. Nichols, Administrative Asst., Room: 2219B [email protected] Phone: 845-2832 3 Required Textbooks Chem 237: Organic Chemistry Laboratory Manual B. Clement & K. Harding 10th Edition (2011) ONLY You will need to use the tear-out laboratory report pages in this lab manual.Required TextbooksChem 237: One example of acceptable notebook. A Laboratory Notebook You must also have a laboratory notebook that contains carbonless- duplicating consecutively - numbered pages . Fifty (50) pages will be sufficient. These are available at bookstores in the area. 4 Organic Labs Info Online Required laboratory information (reading assignments, due dates for lab reports, and pre-lab and post-lab questions) for each lab period will be found on the organic lab server (http://organic.chem.tamu.edu). Teaching Assistants’ e-mail, office number, and phone numbers are available there also. IMPORTANT - Check both the course webpage and your TAMU e-mail (http://neo.tamu.edu) frequently.Grading in Chemistry 237 Laboratory Reports and Lab Performance (includes pre-lab and post-lab questions) 500 pts (50%) Pre-lab Quizzes (12) 300 pts (30%) Final Exam - 200 pts (20%) –7 PM, Tuesday, Dec. 4 (Last day of all Classes) 5 Laboratory Reports Each Lab Experiment (a few lab sessions may have two experiments) will have Pre-lab and Post-lab questions that must be downloaded from the organic webpage online (http://organic.chem.tamu.edu) each week.Laboratory Reports1) Pre-lab Questions (found online)2) Pre-lab Information page (in lab manual)3) In-lab Observations (recorded in your laboratory notebook – original plus copy)4) Results and Discussion page (in lab manual)5) Post-lab Questions (found online) 6 Lab Reports (cont.)1. Pre-lab questions from the 237 webpage (5 pts) must be completed before the laboratory period, and placed in appropriate color- coded box BEFORE the start of the pre-lab presentation.2. The Pre-lab Information page found in the Laboratory manual is to be completed before start of lab. This page will be graded and initialed by your TA during the lab period.Lab Reports (cont.)3. In-lab Observations must be recorded on one or more pages in your Laboratory notebook. The Experiment title, Your name, and Date must be at the top of the page. Record all of your observations and results during the lab period. Before you leave the lab, you must sign this page, then have your TA initial the page. You must leave the ‘carbonless copy’ with your TA when you leave the lab. 7 Lab Reports (cont.) 4. The Results and Discussion portion of the Lab Report (in your Lab Manual) will be completed after the lab period in most cases. In a few experiments this portion will be completed in lab and signed by TA when you leave the lab.Lab Reports (cont.)5. Post-lab Questions from the organic webpage are the final part of the lab report and are worth 5 pts of the Report Grade6. Laboratory Reports (everything except pre- lab questions) need to be turned in on the dates specified on the organic webpage. Late reports will receive a 20% late fee deduction. Reports more than 2 weeks late will not be accepted! 8 Submission of Lab Reports Completed lab reports are to be placed in the slot labeled with your TA’s name in one of the Organic Labs Report Cabinets located in the hallway across from the Stockroom Windows). Workstations When you get to lab today, you will find a roster posted next to the door of the lab room. Find your name and note the Roster # next to your name – this will be your Workstation Number. Go into lab and find your workstation – the numbers are on the front of the top shelf of each mini-hood. You will need to check the roster sheet again next week to see if your Roster # / Workstation # has changed. 9 Lab Partners During all lab periods, you will work in lab in collaboration with your neighbor (Partners are grouped by WS numbers – 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, etc.) In some experiments, each of you will be doing the complete experiment, but using your partner only as a resource for understanding the experiment. You will each obtain a numbered bin stocked with equipment for these experiments. Lab Partners In other experiments, you will find a stocked bin for only one of your two workstations. In these experiments, you will work together (working in pairs) with only one equipment set-up to gather the appropriate data. However, in all cases you each must submit an independent lab report. Your data may be the same, BUT your lab reports must be your own. Do NOT submit a report with the same wording as your partner’s lab report! 10 Academic Misconduct Definitions of Academic Misconduct in the Aggie Honor System include: 1. Acquiring answers for any assigned work from any unauthorized source. 2. Attempting to receive credit for work performed by another, including papers obtained in whole or in part from individuals or other sources.Academic Misconduct (Cont.) THEREFORE, using answers for lab reports or pre- or post-lab questions from any source constitutes academic misconduct! In this course, you may “discuss” experimental results and assignments with other students in the class. However, you must make sure that all lab reports and answers to pre- and post-lab questions are the result of your own efforts and in your own words! DO NOT use the same answers as someone else! 11 Aggie Honor Code NOTE that you violate the Aggie Honor Code if you observe someone else copying answers or lab reports and do nothing about it! First, ask them to uphold the code and, then if necessary, obtain other witnesses and report the violation. Only YOU can make the Aggie Honor Code mean what it says!Quizzes Quizzes are 30% of your grade (300 points). There will be TWELVE quizzes worth 25 points each. This means a quiz before every lab period - including the next lab period. Each quiz may cover material from previous week’s experiment(s) and pre-lab type material from the current experiment (including info provided on the webpage for that experiment), safety, and equipment questions. 12 SCANTRONSFOR QUIZZES The type of scantron sheet needed is shown here and can be purchased at the MSC bookstore. Form SC882-EFinal Exam - 7 PM, Tues., Dec. 4 The final exam will be at 7 PM on the LAST class day of the semester – the night before reading days start!!! Get it on your calendar. The exam will consist of 50 multiple choice questions worth a total of 200 pts. The final exam is worth 20% of your grade. The final is not optional. To complete the required course work for a passing grade, you must take the final exam. 13 Make-up Labs You should make every effort to attend the scheduled laboratory session. However, if you do miss a laboratory session for a University-excused reason (see Student Rules), you will be allowed to attend a make-up lab on the Thursday of the week following the missed lab from 6:30PM - 9:30 PM.Make-up Labs (cont.) To attend the Make-up Lab, you will need to sign up for it in advance. You may sign up two different ways. The first way is to send an e-mail to [email protected] . The e-mail must contain your name, your ID number, your Teaching Assistant’s name, your Section number, and the reason for missing the lab. 14 Make-up Labs (cont.) The second way to sign up is to go see Ms. Janet Robinson in Room 2202 (next to organic stockroom). You cannot sign up for the Make-up Lab over the telephone. You should receive an e-mail confirmation prior to the make-up lab.Safety in Organic Chem Lab Maintaining a safe working environment in a lab is just like maintaining safety in a workplace. Safety can be maintained only if every person in that environment makes safety one of their priorities. We try to provide an environment to minimize risk, but your actions and attention is required to keep it safe. 15 Safety: Rules & Regulations1. Wear approved enclosing safety goggles at all times in the lab.2. No eating, drinking, or smoking in the lab.3. Follow the Experimental Procedures.4. Do not work in the lab unless a Teaching Assistant or Faculty Supervisor is present.Safety Rules (cont.)5. Dress defensively: Wear clothing to protect skin against splattering of hot or caustic liquids (e.g. jeans and shirt). Avoid short shorts, tank tops, bare-midriffs, etc. Chemical ‘tattoos’ are generally of poor design! Open-top shoes (e.g. SANDALS) are NOT allowed. 16 Safety Rules (cont.)6. Know the location and how to use the safety equipment (safety showers, eyewash stations, fire extinguisher). Use them ONLY in an emergency.Safety Rules (cont.)7. Follow all special safety instructions in your laboratory text (including instructions for disposal of chemicals) or instructions noted by your Teaching Assistant or Faculty Supervisor. 17 Safety Goggles ALL students must wear approved enclosing safety goggles at all times in lab (no other protective eyewear is allowed). You should purchase a pair of goggles before the next lab period. A pair of loaner goggles for a lab period can obtained from the Organic stockroom window, but 5 points will be deducted from your lab report grade each lab that you need loaner goggles after one ‘free’ loan!Goggles (cont.) Goggles must have chemical splash guards attached! 18 Goggles (cont.) If you are not sure if your goggles are acceptable, see Dr. Hildreth or Dr. Harding. If you do not have or refuse to wear goggles you will be asked to leave the lab. Goggles are an essential part of laboratory safety. YOU MUST WEAR GOGGLES!Contact Lens Waiver If you wear contact lenses, you are exposed to additional hazards from chemical splashes and vapors. When you wear contact lenses, observe the following special regulations: 1. Use approved enclosing safety goggles. 2. Wash hands, eyes, and lenses immediately after leaving the laboratory. 3. Avoid all unnecessary exposure to volatile chemicals. 4. Notify the Instructor immediately of any eye irritation. 19 Gloves (to be or not to be) Gloves can add an element of safety if appropriate gloves are used properly. However, no single glove is completely suitable for all organics. An incorrect glove or a leaky or a punctured glove can be worse than no glove at all. Latex ‘first-aid’ gloves are totally inappropriate for organics. DO NOT USE. Some safety experts suggest that gloves do not add significantly to safety in an appropriately designed teaching laboratory.Gloves (to be or not to be) - Cont. During the second semester, we will provide gloves for a few experiments. If you have a particular concern about chemical sensitivity, please talk with Dr. Hildreth (Room 2219C) early in the semester. 20 Material Safety Data Sheets All workplace environments are required to have MSDS sheets available for all chemicals used (even liquid paper and laundry soap)! Potential health effects and first-aid measures are listed under Hazards. (Note: many of these effects relate to exposure to large quantities of chemicals; for example, examine the Hazards data for absolute ethanol - a chemical commonly encountered outside a lab). MSDS sheets are available for chemicals used in this laboratory via Internet access. See page 2 of laboratory manual for the URL.Laboratory Safety: Pregnancy Pregnancy - Pregnancy introduces an entirely new set of variables in considerations of hazards. Some chemicals that generate no adverse effects in adults can be highly teratogenic (cause abnormalities in embryo or fetus). If this subject applies to you, please talk to Ms. Nichols or Dr. Harding, and seek counsel from your personal physician. Although we cannot prevent any individual from taking this course, we strongly recommend that women who are pregnant should drop this course and take it at a later date. 21 Go to Laboratory today tocomplete the following items.DO NOT START TO LAB UNTIL ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED!1.Learn the route to get to labs If you are now in Chem 255, words alone can’t describe it – take a look at the map on the next page.To Get to Labs: Rooms 2204, 2206, 2213, and 2215GREEN ROOMS RED 2204, 2206, 2213, 2215 YELLOW BLUE YOU ARE HERE Down 1/2 flight of stairs and through door 22 Go to Laboratory Today to2.

Organic Chemistry (10th Edition) By Francis A. Carey and Robert M. Giuliano

From Linus Pauling’s 1954 Nobel Prize for research on the chemical bond, to Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin’s in 1964 for solving the structure of vitamin B12 and other biochemical substances, to Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka’s in 2012 for solving the structure of G protein-coupled receptors, chemists of all persuasions have shared a common interest in the structure of molecules. It is this common interest in structure that has guided the shaping of this edition. Its most significant change is the relocation of chirality, previously a Chapter 7 topic, to Chapter 4 where it now is closer to the other fundamental structural concepts such as molecular shape, constitution, and conformation. A broader background in structure, acquired earlier in this new presentation, is designed to provide students the conceptual tools they need to understand and apply the relationship between the structures of organic compounds and their properties.

The text is organized according to functional groups—structural units within a molecule that are most closely identified with characteristic properties. Reaction mechanisms are emphasized early and often in an effort to develop the student’s ability to see similarities in reactivity across the diverse range of functional groups encountered in organic chemistry . Mechanisms are developed from observations; thus, reactions are normally presented first, followed by their mechanism.

• 10 Reasons To Visit Yekaterinburg

10 Reasons to Visit Yekaterinburg

Known as Sverdlovsk during the Soviet era, Yekaterinburg is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Russia’s third city might be a little more subdued than Moscow but is has plenty of culture and urban romanticism to offer. Here are 10 reasons you should buy your ticket to Yekaterinburg right now.

Unique architectural environment, glorious music scene, industrial heritage.

Russia’s best city for business and investment, Yekaterinburg is often referred to as the unofficial capital of the Urals – the region, where Russia’s largest metallurgical enterprises are concentrated. Metal produced by Yekaterinburg plants was used to build some of the world’s most illustrious landmarks: New York’s Statue of Liberty , the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Houses of Parliament in London. You can learn about the city’s industrial past (and present as well) on one of many city tours and hear about Yekaterinburg’s first metallurgical plant, built in 1704, and see the legendary Uralmash with your own eyes.

Dramatic past

Great outdoors, world’s shortest metro.

First opened in 1991, Yekaterinburg Metro was considered the shortest in the world and even got a mention in the Guinness Book of Records . Now it has several stations and the ride from the first to the last will take you only 19 minutes, but be sure to stop and take a closer look at each of them – they are all unique and exceptionally beautiful.

Gemstones and jewellery

Once rich in gemstones and minerals, the Ural Mountains, and Yekaterinburg as the region’s main city, have become a center for jewelry trade, known for brilliant craftsmen, carving masterpieces out of gemstones. You can still hear some beautiful legends, the Mistress of Copper Mountain being the most popular and visit many very real shops, selling locally made jewellery.

Sverdlovsk Oblast

Natural resources

Early history, medieval history and russian expansion, rise of the mining-metallurgical era, soviet ural, post-soviet transition, administrative divisions, demographics, settlements, ethnic groups, chairmen of the oblast duma, chairmen of the house of representatives of the legislative assembly, economy and transportation, sister relationships, notable people, external links.

Most of the oblast is spread over the eastern slopes of the Middle and North Urals and the Western Siberian Plain . Only in the southwest does the oblast stretch onto the western slopes of the Ural Mountains .

The highest mountains all rise in the North Urals, Konzhakovsky Kamen at 1,569 metres (5,148   ft) and Denezhkin Kamen at 1,492 metres (4,895   ft) . The Middle Urals is mostly hilly country with no discernible peaks; the mean elevation is closer to 300 to 500 metres (980 to 1,640   ft) above sea level. [9] Principal rivers include the Tavda , the Tura , the Chusovaya , and the Ufa , the latter two being tributaries of the Kama .

Sverdlovsk Oblast borders with, clockwise from the west, Perm Krai , the Komi Republic , Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug , Tyumen Oblast , Kurgan , and Chelyabinsk Oblasts , and the Republic of Bashkortostan .

The area is traversed by the northeasterly line of equal latitude and longitude.

Rich in natural resources, the oblast is especially famous for metals ( iron , copper , gold , platinum ), minerals ( asbestos , gemstones , talcum ), marble and coal . It is mostly here that the bulk of Russian industry was concentrated in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The area has continental climate patterns, with long cold winters (average temperatures reaching −15   °C (5   °F) to −25   °C (−13   °F) on the Western Siberian Plain) and short warm summers. Only in the southeast of the oblast do temperatures reach +30   °C (86   °F) in July.

The territory of the region has been inhabited since ancient times. Numerous sites of ancient people were discovered, dating from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age. The Upper Paleolithic includes the Garinsky site on the right bank of the Sosva river near the village of Gari , the site in the Shaitansky grotto, and the site in the Bezymyanny cave (X millennium BC). [10] [11] In 1890, the 11 thousand years old (Mesolithic) Shigir idol was discovered. [12]

A settlement and a burial ground in the Kalmatsky Brod tract are located on the right bank of the Iset river and date back to the Sarmatian time (from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD). They belong to the Kalmak archaeological culture. In the Kalmatsky Brod burial ground, the skeletal skulls were strongly deformed by tight bandaging in early childhood, which indicates the penetration of steppe ethnic elements to the north. [13]

There are numerous pictograms on the Koptelovsky stone, on the Oblique stone, on the Two-eyed stone, Starichnaya, Serginskaya, the rock paintings of the Bronze Age on the Neyva River, Tagil River (villages Brekhovaya, Gaevaya, Komelskaya), rock carvings on Shaitan-Kamen on the right bank of the Rezh river tied to indigenous Ural population, possibly speakers of a Ugric language . [14] [15] The Gostkovskaya Pisanitsa refers to the Middle Ages. [12]

Before the first Russian colonists arrived to the region, it was populated by various Turkic and Ugrian tribes. By the 16th century, when the Middle Urals were under influence of various Tatar khanates, the strongest local state was the Vogul Pelym principality with its center in Pelym .

The Russian conquest of the Khanate of Kazan in the 1550s paved the way further east, which was now free from Tatar depredations (see Yermak Timofeyevich ). The first surviving Russian settlements in the area date back to the late 16th   – early 17th centuries ( Verkhoturye , 1598; Turinsk , 1600; Irbit , 1633; Alapayevsk , 1639). At that time, those small trading posts were governed under Siberian administration in Tobolsk . After the 1708 administrative reform, Verkhoturye, Pelym and Turinsk became a part of the new Siberian Governorate , in 1737 their territories were assigned to the Kazan Governorate .

During the 18th century, rich resources of iron and coal made Ural an industrial heartland of Russia. After getting control over Ural mines, the Demidov family put the region in the forefront of Russian industrialization. Yekaterinburg , Nevyansk and Tagil ironworks, founded in the 1700s to 1720s, soon joined the ranks of the major producers in Europe. Throughout the 18th and 19th century those newly founded factory towns enjoyed a status of special mining-metallurgical districts allowed to have a certain rate of financial and proprietary autonomy. During the 1781 reform middle Ural finally got its own regional administration in the form of the Perm Governorate .

When in 1812 the Russian government legalized gold digging for its citizens, Middle Ural became a center of gold mining. Entrepreneurs of the Perm Governorate also started the gold rush in West Siberia, soon Yekaterinburgers began to dominate the Russian market of precious metals and gemstones.

After the emancipation reform of 1861 , major Middle Uralian industries that were heavily dependent on serf labor entered decline, although it also allowed light industry to thrive. In 1878, Perm and Yekaterinburg were connected with a railroad, in 1888, railroads reached Tyumen , and ultimately, in 1897, Yekaterinburg joined the Trans-Siberian network . Emergence of railroad transportation helped to revitalize economy of Ural.

The Bolsheviks established their power in Yekaterinburg and Perm during the first days of the October Revolution of 1917. In early 1918 the dethroned Czar Nicholas II and his family were transferred under custody to Yekaterinburg. Local Bolsheviks decided autonomously to execute the royal family on July 17, 1918, to prevent its rescue of by the approaching White Army forces. Ten days later Yekaterinburg was captured by the Czechoslovak troops of Sergei Wojciechowski . For the next year the Anti-bolshevik forces took control over the region. On 19 August 1918, Provisional Government of Ural was formed in Yekaterinburg by a coalition of liberal and democratic socialist parties, it was supposed to serve as a buffer between the Komuch and Provisional Siberian governments. After the Kolchak coup d'état in Omsk in November 1918, the Government of Ural was disbanded.

In July 1919, in the course of the Yekaterinburg offense, Yekaterinburg and the surrounding areas were recaptured by the Red Army forces under command of Vasily Shorin . On the July 15th, the Perm Governorate was split by the Soviets and the east, for the first time in history, became a separate region, the Yekaterinburg Governorate. It was soon abolished and replaced by the Ural Oblast (1923-1934).

In the 1930s many industrial enterprises were established and built with the help of forced labour. [16] Local industry received another impetus during World War II, when important producing facilities were relocated here from the European part of Russia to safeguard them from the advancing Germans (for example, IMZ-Ural , Kamensk-Uralsky Metallurgical Works ). In the postwar period much of the region was off-limits to foreigners. It was over Sverdlovsk that the American U-2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers was shot down on May 1, 1960, while on a reconnaissance mission.

In 1979, there was an anthrax outbreak caused by an accident in a facility to develop biological weapons.

In 1993, Governor Eduard Rossel responded to perceived economic inequality by attempting to create a " Ural Republic ." Sverdlovsk led the "Urals Five" ( Kurgan Oblast , Orenburg Oblast , Perm Krai , Chelyabinsk Oblast and Sverdlovsk) in a call for greater regional power. They argued that the oblasts deserved as much power as the ethnic homeland republics . The Urals Republic Constitution went into effect on October 27, 1993. Then Russian President Boris Yeltsin dissolved the Urals Republic and the Sverdlovsk Parliament 10 days later (on November 9).

Population : 4,268,998   ( 2021 Census ) ; [5] 4,297,747   ( 2010 Russian census ) ; [17] 4,486,214   ( 2002 Census ) ; [18] 4,716,768   ( 1989 Soviet census ) . [19]

Vital statistics for 2022: [20] [21]

• Births: 39,958 (9.4 per 1,000)
• Deaths: 59,316 (13.9 per 1,000)

Total fertility rate (2022): [22] 1.56 children per woman

Life expectancy (2021): [23] Total — 68.79 years (male   — 63.72, female   — 73.80)

There were twenty-one recognized ethnic groups of more than two thousand persons each in the oblast. Residents identified themselves as belonging to a total of 148 different ethnic groups, including: [17]

• 3,684,843 Russians (90.6%);
• 143,803 Tatars (3.5%);
• 35,563 Ukrainians (0.9%);
• 31,183 Bashkirs (0.8%);
• 23,801 Mari (0.6%);
• 14,914 Germans (0.4%);
• 14,215 Azerbaijanis (0.3%);
• 13,789 Udmurts (0.3%);
• 11,670 Belarusians (0.3%);
• 11,510 Chuvash (0.26%);
• 11,501 Armenians (0.3%);
• 11,138 Tajiks (0.3%);
• 9,702 Mordovians (0.22%);
• 9,358 Uzbeks (0.2%);

232,978 people were registered from administrative databases, and could not declare an ethnicity. It is estimated that the proportion of ethnicities in this group is the same as that of the declared group. [24]

Christianity is the largest religion in Sverdlovsk Oblast. According to a 2012 survey [25] 43% of the population of Sverdlovsk Oblast adheres to the Russian Orthodox Church , 5% are nondenominational Christians (excluding Protestant churches), 3% are Muslims , 2% are Orthodox Christian believers without belonging to any Church or are members of other Orthodox churches , 1% are adherents of the Slavic native faith (Rodnovery), and 0.3% are adherents of forms of Hinduism ( Vedism , Krishnaism or Tantrism ). In addition, 36% of the population declares to be "spiritual but not religious", and 9.7% is atheist . [25]

The most important institutions of higher education include Ural Federal University , Ural State Medical University , Ural State University of Economics , Ural State Law University , Ural State Mining University and Ural State Academy of Architecture and Arts , all located in the capital Yekaterinburg.

The oblast's Charter, adopted on 17 December 1994, with subsequent amendments, establishes the oblast government. The Governor is the chief executive, who appoints the Government, consisting of ministries and departments. The Chairman of the Government, commonly referred to as the Prime Minister, is appointed with the consent of the lower house of the legislature , a process similar to the appointment of the federal Prime Minister . But the Governor cannot nominate the same candidate more than twice, yet he/she can dismiss the house after three failed attempts to appoint the Premier. [ needs update ]

The Legislative Assembly is the regional parliament of Sverdlovsk Oblast. Until 2011, it was a bicameral legislature consisting of the Oblast Duma, the lower house , and the House of Representatives, the upper house . [27] Before the reform, members of the legislature served four-year terms with half of the Duma re-elected every two years. The Duma (28   members) was elected in party lists. The 21   members of the House of Representatives were elected in single-seat districts in a first-past-the-post system. The Legislative Assembly was the first bicameral legislature outside an autonomous republic, and the first regional legislature in Russia to elect members based on both party lists and single-seat districts . As of 2021, the Legislative Assembly is a unicameral legislature with a total of 50 seats, with half of the members elected by single-mandate constituencies and the other half elected in party lists for five-year terms. [28] [29]

Compliance with the Charter is enforced by the Charter Court. The existence of such regional courts in Russia, formed and functioning outside the federal judiciary, although challenged, has been upheld and persisted successfully in most constituent members of the Federation where they were established.

Until President Putin 's reforms of 2004, the Governor was elected by direct vote for terms of four years. Eduard Rossel has been the only elected governor (first elected governor for an oblast in Russia) since 1995 (appointed in 1991 and dismissed in 1993 by President Yeltsin ), re-elected in 1999 and 2003.

Since 2012, the oblast's Governor is Yevgeny Kuyvashev .

In the 1990s, the Oblast's population was distinguished by relatively high support for parties and candidates of the right and democratic persuasion. In the 1996 presidential election, Boris Yeltsin , a native of the region who lived in Sverdlovsk until the 1980s, won over 70% of the vote. In the regional elections in 2010 in the Sverdlovsk Oblast, United Russia received minimal support relative to other regions - only 39.79% of votes. [30]

Even though it could do with modernizing, the region's industries are quite diverse. 12% of Russia's iron and steel industry is still concentrated in Sverdlovsk oblast. Iron and copper are mined and processed here, the logging industry and wood-processing are important, too.

The largest companies in the region include Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company , UralVagonZavod , Enel Russia , Nizhniy Tagil Iron and Steel Works , Federal Freight . [31]

Yekaterinburg is a prominent road, rail and air hub in the Ural region. As the economic slump subsided, several European airlines started or resumed flights to the city. These include Lufthansa , British Airways , CSA , Turkish Airlines , Austrian Airlines and Finnair . Malév Hungarian Airlines used to be among those carriers but they had to drop their flights to SVX ( IATA airport code for Sverdlovsk) after a few months.

The Alapaevsk narrow-gauge railway serves the communities around Alapayevsk .

• Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province , Vietnam
• Harbin , China
• Vladik Dzhabarov , Russian cyclist
• Andrey Fedyaev , Russian cosmonaut
• Yakov Sverdlov , a communist revolutionary after whom Sverdlovsk and subsequently Sverdlovsk Oblast were named.
• Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary , a building of regional historical significance in Staropyshminsk village.

Yekaterinburg, where Europe and Asia come together

Last Updated on January 6, 2024 by Irena Domingo

Yekaterinburg is the capital of the Urals and an obligatory stop of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is the fourth city in the country and the place where Europe and Asia meet. It is historically known to be the place where in 1918 the Bolsheviks murdered Tsar Nicholas II and his entire family. In this post I’ll tell you what you can see in this beautiful city and its surroundings.

I'm going to talk about ...

The fourth Russian capital

Mineral and geological wealth, vital transport hub, some trivia, 2. practical information to organize the visit, 3.1. church on blood in honor of all the saints, formerly ipatiev house, 3.2. dam on the iset river and the sevastyanov house, 3.3. state academic opera and ballet theater, 3.4. yekaterinburg war memorial, 3.5. visotsky business center and observation platform, 3.6. vaynera street, 3.7. geological museum of the urals, 3.8. qwerty monument, 3.9. boris yeltsin presidential center, 4.1. europe-asia monument, 4.2. ganina yama monastery, 4.3. olenii ruchii national park, 4.4. chertovo gorodishche rocks, 1. yekaterinburg: capital of the urals and a trans-siberian railway stop.

Yekaterinburg is located in the western center of Russia, already within Asia, though by very little. It is the fourth city in the country by its number of inhabitants , behind Moscow (at a distance of 1,667 km), Saint Petersburg and Novosibirsk (the latter already in Siberia), and it is located in the territory of the long and low mountain range of the Ural Mountains, a natural border between Europe and Asia.

It is the capital of the oblast (or region) of Sverdlovsk and the federal district of the Ural. It has approximately 1,500,000 inhabitants , and it is located 237 meters above sea level, bathed by Iset River.

Its current prosperity comes from industry and metallurgy, as well as the mineral and geological wealth of its environment, currently combined with other scientific and educational developments.

As a curiosity, the Eiffel Tower in Paris was built with steel from the Urals for its construction and the Statue of Liberty in New York used copper from the same site.

It should be noted that Yekaterinburg today is an important transport and communications hub , from European Russia to Siberia, especially through the railway lines, consisting of seven lines, and it is a mandatory stop of the Trans-Siberian, Trans-Mongolian and Trans-Manchurian routes . At the same time, Yekaterinburg and its role of being the Eurasian connection bring us closer to knowing another reality of this fascinating and immense country called Russia.

It is a city with very cold winters and temperatures in the negative for about seven months, subjected to the arctic air that comes down from the north of Siberia, which however we can visit in summer with a joyous average temperature of about 14º C, as days in this season are over 20 degrees. July could be an ideal month.

From a historical perspective, Yekaterinburg is known mainly for its most important and shocking event: it was the place where in 1918 the Bolsheviks murdered Tsar Nicholas II and his entire family.

The name Yekaterinburg comes from Catherine I of Russia, though from 1924 to 1991 it was called Sverdlovsk by the Soviet politician Yakov Sverdlov.

• In 1963, Fidel Castro visited the city, and that same year there were 11 babies with the name of Fidel, in homage to the Cuban leader.
• Another historic episode, much more recent, took place on February 15, 2013, when a large meteorite crossed the city and fell on Lake Chebarkul, in Chelyabinsk, about 210 km south, but the shock wave was felt by the residents.
• The UMMC Yekaterinburg women’s basketball team is one of the best in Europe and has won several Euroleague or European Championships, the last in 2018.
• Many Olympic medalists of different disciplines have come from this city. Also, cross-country skiing is very practical.

To move around the city, you should consider some useful information, as well as having good links for transport and communications. So, you need to know that:

• The time zone is UTC + 6 (two hours ahead of Moscow and six hours ahead of Greenwich). It takes two hours to go from Moscow to Yekaterinburg by plane. By train, the journey can take at least 25 hours. There are very varied overnight offers on the Trans-Siberian trains.

3. What to see in Yekaterinburg

Being a very important railway point and junction of the Trans-Siberian Route, you can stop in Yekaterinburg to visit the city one or two days, as well as its surroundings.

Like any big city, the possibilities are great, but I will focus on what I personally consider most essential.

Thus, it is important to know that there is a tourist circular route following a red line through the center of the city , which will allow you to observe the main buildings and attractions.

The line goes on the asphalt and runs through 5.5 km and 35 points of interest in a project that was carried out by volunteers. The departure starts at 1905 Square, probably the most important in the city, but I will start with the Church on the Blood (number 14 on the map below), the nearest stop to the railway station of Yekaterinburg.

From these 35 points of interest, which are many, I will show you below those that are the most relevant for me.

The Church on Blood is located around a 20 minutes’ walk from the main railway station, which is currently called and officially Yekaterinburg- Passazhyrski, formerly Sverdlovsk, a name that is still used.

It was built between 2000 and 2003, over the former Ipatiev House (demolished in 1977), where Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, her five children and four workers were killed on July 17, 1918.

This Russian Orthodox church, of neo-Byzantine architecture, serves as a pilgrimage site to honor the memory of the executed Romanovs. It occupies 2,760 m2 and has a museum dedicated to the Russian imperial family.

On July 17th, 2018, around 100,000 people gathered in Yekaterinburg to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family at the hands of the Bolsheviks. The faithful departed on foot at 2:00 am to the place where the execution took place, in the center of Yekaterinburg, where the Ipatiev house was.

The remains of Nicholas II, his wife and his three children were found in 1979, and buried in the Peter and Paul Fortress of St. Petersburg in 1998.

At a 10-minute walk from the Church on the Blood, you have one of the key centers of the city, which is located in the dike or reservoir on the Iset River, in which you can enjoy the sights, and walk around on your own. It is a very centric backwater site.

Next to the dike is the Sevastyanov House, built in the first half of the 19th century on the banks of the Iset River, a national architectural heritage. It has eclectic style and very colorful. Located on Lenin Avenue, the main artery of the city.

Since it is part of a complex of official buildings, you can’t visit it in principle.

Very close to the dike, there is the State Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet , a public theater, baroque style, with very nice interior decoration. With varied and high-level programming. It is a very good opportunity to enjoy quality productions at very competitive prices.

You can buy tickets online. A good place to end the day. The performances normally take place in the afternoon, between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Near the theater, in the Soviet Army Plaza, at the intersection of Mamina-Sibiryaka and Pervomayskaya streets, you can find the Yekaterinburg War Memorial , a memorial against wars, in memory of fallen Russian soldiers in Afghanistan and Chechnya. It has an impressive sculpture, inaugurated in 1996.

If you like heights, then just behind the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater you will see the Visotsky business center , which is located in what appears to be the tallest northern skyscraper in the world, a business tower-building of 188.3 m high, which also has a hotel, spa and restaurants.

On the 52nd floor, it has an open and secure observation deck at 186 meters high, with fabulous views up to 25 kilometers away. You can use audio guides.

Hours: Monday to Friday from 12m to 10:00 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Regular entry fee: 350 rubles and discounts for children under 12 and others. It is free for children under 5 years old. The payment is only in cash at the moment.

The name is due to Vladimir Visotsky, a popular poet, actor and musician, who has his own museum in the skyscraper. Web: http://visotsky-e.ru/en/

The Vaynera Street, known as the Arbat Street (in Moscow) of the Urals, can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot from Visotsky Business Center. It is perfect for shopping. A pedestrian walkway, and with sculptures in its route. You can look for high quality leather bags and wallets in the area.

Vaynera Street begins near 1905 Goda Square, the most important in the city, where the city hall of Yekaterinburg is located, and where you will also find a large statue of Lenin.

At the end of Vaynera Street, at number 39 Kuybysheva Street, you will find the Geological Museum of the Urals , where you can find numerous minerals from the Ural Mountains, worthy of being contemplated. It is a small but very well managed site. You can see various meteorites, including lunar and Martian rocks, as well as the Ural gems used in the Kremlin stars.

In your store you can find precious stones to give as gifts. Entry for 200 rubles.

Accessible by public transport and very close to the Geologicheskaya metro station.

It is a very intriguing and curious visit on the bank of the Iset River. It is the famous computer keyboard with large stones for each key, with a total of 86.

This largest keyboard in the world is located near Ploshchad 1905 Goda metro station.

Finally, though outside the tourist red line, you can find the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center . With a modern and dazzling exterior architecture, and inaugurated in 2015, it is a civic space and museum dedicated to the first president of the Russian Federation (1991-1999), Boris Yeltsin, born in the region, in the small locality of Bukta.

In the museum we can see Yeltsin’s life and get to know more on the formation of the Russian Federation, the previous perestroika or the Soviet era. With latest technologies and with authentic documents, it is a very interesting site.

It is open from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. You can buy the tickets online. Basic price: 200 rubles. Discounts for families. Optional guided tours in Russian or English (Tuesdays without surcharge on ticket price).

It is worth noting the beautiful views of the river and that it has a restaurant.

4. What to see around Yekaterinburg

The Europe-Asia Monument is located about 40 kilometers west of Yekaterinburg, about 5 kilometers from the city of Pervouralsk. It is located in the middle of the forest area of the Verkh-Isetsky district.

It is a visit where you can take a photo on the border or continental divide between Europe and Asia . The monument is a column or obelisk that measures 30 meters high, on top of a podium, and is made of red marble. It is accessed through a stone staircase, divided into two wings: on one side we will be in Europe and the other in Asia. A double-headed Russian bronze eagle crowns the column.

There are bus departures and excursions from various points, such as those that leave from the side of the main railway station.

And you need to pay attention, because there are a few monuments, landmarks, sculptures, signs or points of reference that mark the limit between Europe and Asia in the Ural Mountains. These are undoubtedly the most relevant.

It is a complex of wooden monastic buildings with different temples dedicated to the Romanov family, who were moved there after their death, which gives it a certain mysterious air. It can be reached on the bus that leaves from the main train station, around 15 kilometers to the north. Website: http://ganinayama.ru/

Around 150 km west of the city. You can get there by bus or train, but more directly by car, in perhaps less than two hours. It is beautiful path of forests and the Serga River. You will find caves, rocks and very marked karstic formations, authentic paleozoological monuments, such as the Druzhba cave (which mean Friendship).

A true outdoor natural history museum with multiple educational and environmental activities for all ages. Web: http://www.olen.ur.ru/

It is a natural geomorphological monument of granite, of volcanic origin of 20 meters high, formed 300 million years ago. It stands out for its strange shapes. It is about 40 km and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Yekaterinburg.
