Yekaterinburg Metropolitan and Verchoturye Evgeniy supported the idea of ​​Sverdlovsk region name. "I am very happy that our city does not bear the name of the bloody Bolshevik, but the name of the great Martyr Saint Catherine. And God willing, Yekaterinburg has been Yekaterinburg for thirty years. As for the area, of course, I would really like if we could call it (differently). I try to avoid pronouncing the name of our area behind it is obvious because the name of our area is obvious. This person who in many ways destroyed what we are trying to restore today - after all, our region deserves a better name, I think we will find it," said the Metropolitan. The Metropolitan's words are quoted by Yekaterinburg Channel Four. In general, the problem of Yakov Sverdlov, as an autonomist of the Sverdlovsk region, is also that he was born in a completely different place - Nizhny Novgorod, and in the Urals he was active only during the revolution of 1905-1907.
