Yekaterinburg
Yekaterinburg is known for the tragic events of the Socialist Revolution.

The main landmarks are the Cathedral-on-the-Blood and Ganina Yama. Cathedral-on-the-Blood was constructed on Ipatiev house where the last Russian tsar Nicolas II was assassinated along with his family in 1918. Since, it has been recognized by the Russian Orthodox church as sacred. Ganina Yama was the secret mass grave of the tsar’s family. Today a monastery marks the spot.
