History eedit

Roushie conquest o the Khanate o Kazan in the 1550s pavit the wey further east which wis nou free frae Tatar depredations (see Yermak Timofeyevich). The first survivin Roushie settlements in the aurie date back tae the late 16t — early 17t centuries (Verkhoturye, 1598; Turinsk, 1600; Irbit, 1633; Alapayevsk, 1639). In the 18t an 19t centuries the aurie became the industrial hertland o Roushie due tae its rich deposits o iron an coal (see abuin). In the 1930s mony industrial enterprises wur established an biggit wi the help o forcit labour.[13] Local industry receivit anither impetus durin the Warld War II whan important producin facilities wur relocatit here frae the European pairt o Roushie tae safeguard them frae the advancin Germans (for ensaumple, IMZ-Ural). In the postwar period hintle o the region wis aff-leemits tae foreigners an it wis ower Sverdlovsk that the American pilot Gary Powers wis shot doun on 1 Mey 1960, while on a reconnaissance mission. Anither historic event that teuk place in Yekaterinburg wis the execution o Nicholas II o Roushie an the Imperial family in Julie 1918.

In 1993, Govrenor Eduard Rossel respondit tae perceivit economic inequality bi attemptin tae creaut a "Urals Republic." Sverdlovsk led the "Urals Five" (Kurgan Oblast, Orenburg Oblast, Perm Krai, Chelyabinsk Oblast an Sverdlovsk) in a caw for greater regional pouer. Thay argued that the oblasts deserved as hintle pouer as the ethnic hameland republics. The Urals Republic Constitution went intae effect on 27 October 1993. Roushie Preses Boris Yeltsin dissolvit the Urals Republic an Sverdlovsk Parliament 10 days later (on November 9).

Politics eedit

Syne 2009, the oblast's Govrenor is Alexander Misharin.[14]

The oblast's Chairter, adoptit on 17 December 1994, wi subsequent amendments, establishes the oblast govrenment. The Govrenor is the chief executive, who appoints the Govrenment, consistin o meenistries an depairtments. The Chairman/Preses o the Govrenment, commonly referred tae as the Prime Meenister, is appointit wi the consent o the lawer hoose o the legislatur, a process seemilar tae the appointment o the federal Prime Meenister; but the Govrenor canna nominate the same candidate mair nor twice, yet he/she can dismiss the hoose efter three failed attempts tae appynt the Premier. The Legislative Assembly consists o the Oblast Duma, the lawer hoose, an the Hoose o Representatives, the upper hoose. Members o the legislatur serve fower-year terms; housomeivver, hauf o the Duma is re-electit ivery twa years. The Duma (28 members) is electit bi pairty leets; the 21 members o the Hoose o Representatives are electit in single-seat destricts in a first-past-the-post seestem. The Sverdlovsk Legislative Assembly wis the first bicameral legislatur ootside an autonomous republic, an the first regional legislatur in Roushie tae elect members bi baith pairty leets an single-seat destricts.

Compliance wi the Chairter is enforcit bi the Chairter Court. The existence o sic regional courts in Roushie, formit an functionin ootside the federal judiciary, awtho challengit, haes been upheld an persistit successfully in maist constituent members o the Federation whaur thay wur established.

Till Preses Putin's reforms o 2004, the Govrenor wis electit bi direct vote for fower-year terms. Eduard Rossel haes been the anerlie electit govrenor (first electit govrenor for an oblast in Roushie) syne 1995 (appointit in 1991 an dismissed in 1993 bi Preses Yeltsin), re-electit in 1999 an 2003.
