Hello to everyone from Yekaterinburg.
I was born in St. Petersburg, but I have been living in Yekaterinburg since I was 5 years old.
I have been interested in the history and local lore of the Sverdlovsk region since the fifth grade, that is, for about 15 years.
I 've been reading Russian-language websites for a long time (tart-aria.info , 1723.ru, a number of blogs - wakeuphuman, crustgroup, a number of YouTube channels - "Unofficial history", etc.), but most often without registration and active activity, preferred to read and collect information.
Recently, I read an article on tart-aria.info from the Catalyst user - "Lost key". At the end of the article there was a link to this resource.
That's how I found out about you. Much of what I have read here, I have already read before, but there is also a lot of new.
I prefer, mostly, to work with facts. Architecture (buildings, city plans), photographs (which can preferably be clearly identified and identified), geography (rivers, mountains, etc.), language (I like to find language bridges between cultures of different peoples and believe that once there was a single language and a developed culture that will soon be recreated again). Most viewed cities in the world panoramas Google (most often), Baidu (China), Yandex (at least, as panorami Google, it's almost always better)
Not a fan of rabid conspiracy theories about aliens, secret societies, etc. At the same time, I am ready to take information on them into account, if there is an argument.
I want to thank every person or group of people who have ever contributed to the dissemination of knowledge, research about the common human culture, about the secrets of history.
Dmitry.
