d' Explanation: Hum! Bonne question, en effet, car en principe on devrait mettre « de » Iekaterinbourg. Pourtant, on ne pourrait pas dire la ville de Avignon, mais bien d'Avignon me semble-t-il. Cela donne à penser que lorsque le mot commence par une voyelle, il faut choisir l'élision (d'). Mais je n'en suis pas sûre. |

de Explanation: Bon! Somme toute, la règle n'est pas très ferme. J'opterais pour le « de » moi aussi en ce cas-ci. Moi aussi je trouve ça plus élégant. |
