What does the Urals sound like? You'll find out soon 🎧 While young people from all over the world are still making their way to the IFY–2026, some participants have already started getting to know the Sverdlovsk Region — through its nature, its industry and its sound. A group of young artists travelled across the region recording the sounds of the Urals and turning them into music. Over several days they visited Talkov Stone, the Bazhov Places nature park, Klyuch-Kamen on the Chusovaya River, the filming locations of "Gloomy River" and the Pervouralsk New Pipe Plant. 📎 You'll be able to hear what the Sverdlovsk Region sounds like on 14 September at the VK venues at the IFY–2026. And this autumn, the tracks will be released on streaming platforms!
