A giant mini-city will be built in Yekaterinburg
March 30, 2026 The "Other World" Foundation intends to create a large-scale model of the Yekaterinburg fortress factory from the 18th century, measuring 15x15 meters. According to the authors' concept, it will be a fully interactive space: water, dam mechanisms, and carts will be in motion, while smoke, sound effects, and lighting solutions will enhance the atmosphere. Visitors will be able to "stroll" through the streets, hear the work of forges, and closely examine the buildings.

As the director of the foundation, Natalia Zayichenko, told the media outlet 66.RU, the project is conceived not as a regular diorama, but as a "living" grand model. It is based on serious archival research and allows immersion into the 18th century, vividly revealing the features of the Ural mining and manufacturing civilization.
The model will become a key element of the future exhibition and tourist center "Ural in the Palm," which the foundation plans to open in Yekaterinburg.
The implementation of the project requires 40.1 million rubles. Half of this amount was sought from the "Presidential Grants Fund," but the application was not supported. Now, the "Other World" Foundation is counting on the help of the local community, businesses, and authorities.
