Ben, List, There may be a confusion in some reports. There is a city named Sverdlovsk in eastern Ukraine (now held by the separatists) but also a Sverdlovsk Oblast (or "federal district") far to the east in Russia (ocated on the eastern slopes of the Middle and North Urals and the Western Siberian Plain): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdlovsk_Oblast This where this event took place.
The city of Sverdlovsk there is now called Ekaterinburg. It was the home town of Boris Yeltsin, I believe.

I have seen the video, and there is a pulse of light before the main event, just as the event in Russia.
