During the Great Patriotic War, radio broadcasting to the USSR was carried out from Sverdlovsk, the capital of the Urals, not so much because of the threat of bombing, but because the radio towers in Moscow had to be dismantled - they, all the more working, would be an excellent beacon for fascist aviation. From here, from the house of the Sverdlovsk Radio Committee, the unforgettable voice of Yuri Levitan sounded: "Attention! Moscow is speaking! " For this voice and acting skills, Adolf Hitler declared Yuri Levitan his personal enemy.
The legendary announcer read reports from the Sovinformburo from the basement of a building that previously belonged to the breeder Pervushin. Above, on the ground floor, there was a studio from where Agniya Barto, Alexei Tolstoy, Lev Kassil read their works, but even they did not know that Levitan was reading reports, sitting under them, in the basement of the same building. Broadcasting to the USSR continued from here until 1943, but this was kept secret for many years after the war.
Now a memorial plaque has been installed on the building, a museum is supposed to be created, and its historical name has been returned to the city.
