This article analyzes the architectural objects of Yekaterinburg at the end of the 20th-beginning of the 21st century, made in the style of historical architecture. Identified common features and characteristic elements that allows to determine the specifics of historicism in the architecture of the time. It was determined that in the period from 1990 to 2006, the principles of postmodernism dominated in architecture, which were manifested in the borrowing of classic forms, their geometrization and simplification. In the period from 2006 to the present, historicism in architecture is manifested in a focus on borrowing both classic forms and modernist architec-ture forms. During this period, both the general principles of composition and the “quotations” from the historical architecture of Yekaterinburg are borrowed. The historicism of the last decade is routed at preserving the historical environment of the city. In the architecture, referring to the methods of constructivism, often used such techniques as the sidebar forms, the use of strip glaz-ing in combination with the planes of the blank facade. The architecture that borrows methods of classicism is dominated by the use of such techniques as the selection of entrance groups by ri-zalits or bay windows, the underlining of verticals by triangular gables, the use of columns and pilasters. The regional specificity of historicism in the architecture of Yekaterinburg is manifested in the borrowing of features and elements inherent in the characteristic historical architectural styles of the city: classicism and constructivism. Orientation to these areas is due to the fact that periods of active development of construction in Yekaterinburg - Sverdlovsk coincided with the development of these particular stylistic directions.
