Orlov proposed to move the honoring of honorary citizens of Yekaterinburg following City Day
April 16, 2026 Mayor of Yekaterinburg Alexey Orlov suggested moving the procedure for awarding the title of "Honorary Citizen," reports the EAN agency.
According to the mayor, it would be most appropriate to honor the city's honorary citizens on the historical birthday of Yekaterinburg — November 18.
"There will be no need to convene an extraordinary meeting of the Duma in the summer. This is correct and reasonable," Orlov noted.
Earlier, the mayor proposed to move City Day to early August. The reason for this decision, according to city officials, is the weather conditions. The EGD commission on local self-government has already unanimously supported this idea. Now this issue must be considered at a plenary session by the other deputies.
A year ago, a volunteer from the Yekaterinburg diocese criticized the "Summer in the Square" festival at the 1905 Square. He called for a historical and cultural examination of the area regarding burial sites. However, as it became known back in December, this year "Summer" will again take place in the square.
