For those interested in more detailed information about the voting process, winners, candidates, or the results of the 2021 election, it is recommended to check official regional government or cultural heritage websites for the Middle Urals region, announcements from the Ministry of Culture of Russia or affiliated heritage authorities, and news releases or cultural event summaries from 2021 and 2022 related to heritage site management or recognition in the Middle Urals.
In addition, a project called "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" is set to renovate Metegorka and Osnovinsky Park in Yekaterinburg, due to the participation of citizens in voting for objects to be improved. This initiative underscores the importance of public involvement in the preservation and enhancement of the region's cultural and environmental heritage.
