Yekaterinburg residents share thoughts on the past year 2025

The year 2025 was full of events, both difficult and joyful. We asked Yekaterinburg residents to describe the past year in one word. Unfortunately, there were very few positive expressions.
«The worst year»
For many readers of E1.RU, tragic events happened precisely in 2025. Yekaterinburg residents wrote words such as «Hell,» «Fantabulous!», «Red flag», «Holding on», «Worst», «Snake», «Costly», «Rollercoaster», «Made it»…
«The worst year. I lost my job. My beloved kitty died», — Lyubov shared with us.
«My mom died. A stroke. Take care of your loved ones, I didn«t think you could lose them so unexpectedly and quickly», — confessed Veronika.
«One word… this year is «no good»», — another reader gave an example.
«My dad died this year. Unexpectedly, I also never could have imagined it would happen like that. Be sure to find time over the holidays to visit your parents, at least call them, cherish them, no matter what your relationship is like», — shared Yekaterinburg resident Maya.
«A difficult task. Well, if it«s censored, then »fatigue«», — shared Elena.
«A bad year for health: I broke my spine, had surgery, and am recovering. In one word — unlucky», — said Larisa.
«It was a worthy competitor to 2020», — Alexander quipped sarcastically.

«Our year started well, and then starting in October it went sideways. Our unborn child died. This is a grief for us, after 9 years of trying to get pregnant. One good event happened — my cousin«s sister had a daughter, my niece. And my cousin»s brother had a second son. We hope the new year 2026 will be better and without losses, — confessed Yulia. — I wish everyone health in the new year and that all dreams come true».
«Bought a car, an apartment, became a grandfather!»
