Yekaterinburg is the fourth-largest city in Russia. It has been dubbed the "third capital of Russia", as it is ranked third by the size of economy, culture, transportation and tourism.

叶卡捷琳堡是俄罗斯第四大城市，其经济、文化、交通和旅游业十分发达，在全俄罗斯排名第三，因此也常被人称为俄罗斯的“第三首都”。

Yekaterinburg has a long history, as can be told from its name. It was founded on 18 November 1723, named after Russian emperor Peter the Great's wife, Yekaterina, who later became Catherine I after Peter's death, serving as the mining capital of the Russian Empire as well as a strategic connection between Europe and Asia at the time. It was known as the "window to Asia", a reference to Saint Petersburg as a "window to Europe".

叶卡捷琳堡历史十分悠久，从其命名中便可见一斑。叶卡捷琳堡于1723年11月18日建城，以彼得大帝的妻子，也就是日后成为女皇的叶卡捷琳娜的名字命名。这座城市作为沙俄时期的矿业中心，承担着连接欧亚大陆的战略作用，被称为俄罗斯的“亚洲之窗”，与之相对的是以“欧洲之窗”闻名的圣彼得堡。
