The first day of our press tour in Sverdlovsk Oblast

The first day of our press tour in Sverdlovsk Oblast was devoted to dialogue with the authorities, industrial innovation, the great culture of the Urals, and, of course, real stories of people.

The day's program was packed, showing participants new sides of the region:
We began the first day with a press breakfast, where we discussed practical support measures and prospects for participants in the relocation assistance program with representatives of the regional government and relevant non-profit organizations. We went behind the scenes and explored modern workplaces and advanced technologies at JSC Russian Copper Company.

We visited the Opera Theatre and saw that the region's cultural offerings are also of the highest standard.
Participants went on an extensive sightseeing tour of Yekaterinburg's notable landmarks.
Participants visited the unique Hermitage-Ural cultural and educational center. They also made their way to the famous Domna creative cluster—the heart of the city's creative industries.

The day ended with a special event: a cozy dinner with compatriots who had already moved to Sverdlovsk Oblast. Representatives of the Sverdlovsk Oblast government were present: Dmitry Alekseyevich Antonov, Director of the Department of Labor and Employment of the Population of Sverdlovsk Oblast; Darya Sergeyevna Kononova, Deputy Head of the Labor Resources and Migration Policy Division of the Department of Labor and Employment of the Population of Sverdlovsk Oblast; and Aleksandr Eduardovich Yevtushenko, Deputy Head of the Labor Resources and Migration Policy Division of the Department of Labor and Employment of the Population of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
Without filters or officialdom, the bloggers asked the most pressing questions and learned how to settle into a new place, find work and housing, and become part of the region.
