Rossel's original language was German, but due to his mother's marriage to a Soviet national, he began to primarily speak Russian at home instead.

In 1974, Rossel met Boris Yeltsin (who in 1991 was elected as the first President of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union) at the metallurgy factory, Blooming-1500.

A few days after his election as mayor, Rossel got a visit from Alexander Avdonin, a geologist and local historian, who back then discovered, along with Geliy Ryabov, the burial site of the Romanov Dynasty.

[6] In 2005 Eduard Rossel authored a book entitled A Regional Perspective on the Current and Future Socio-Economic Developments in the Russian Federation, which was published in an English edition by Anthony Rowe Publishing Services on behalf of Intourist Ltd. On Wednesday, 13 April 2005, Eduard Rossel was guest and speaker at a reception held at the Russian Embassy in Kensington Palace Gardens, London for the launch of his book.
