A descendant of Nicholas I demanded to rename the Sverdlovsk region.
Gabriel Doroshin, a descendant of Nicholas I in the eighth generation, stated that the Sverdlovsk region should be renamed to Yekaterinburg or Ural Province.
— We always say that Lenin and the Bolsheviks are our history. But not all history is useful. There are figures who are needed, and there are those from whom we consciously distance ourselves. We have Russians who served the Third Reich. That's history too. The same goes for the Bolsheviks, he stated on air at OTV.
According to him, the new name for the region could change society's attitude towards the royal family. He also dislikes that almost every city has a Lenin Square. Let us remind you that the last time the renaming of the Sverdlovsk region was proposed was by the leader of the Fair Russia party, Sergey Mironov. This happened just about a month ago.
