Reports "Signal Ural."
One of these dates specialists mention is August 1 according to the old style (August 12 according to the new). On this day, the Ober-Bergamt was transferred from the Uktus plant to the under-construction Yekaterinburg ironworks. It is from this moment that the city began to form as a center of Ural and Siberian industry and mining, which gives the date special historical significance.
Last week, the Public Chamber supported the idea of moving the holiday to the first Saturday of August. Now this issue is to be considered by the city Duma.
