Main figure in this process was A. Rossel, governor of Sverdlovsk Region. He proclaimed the Ural Republic in July 1st 1993. But official documents about this “proclamation” was not adopted. It was only a verbal act. Analogous processes were in many regions: Perm, Vologda etc. After discussing with federal government, regions obtained equal rights with republics. And the “republican movement” finished.
