History
In written manuscript the first mention about the Komi people is dated back to the 10th-12th centuries
though its history and culture are rooted deep in ancient times.
The Komi language belongs to the group of the Finno-Ugrian languages, the Uralic language family.
Material and spiritual cultural of all the Finno-Ugric people has much in common.
These people had cultural and trade links with some tribes and people, for example, the Scythians
people of Egypt, Middle Asia and Iran experienced significant cultural effect from their developed
southern neighbour.
Ancient Komi tribes inhabited the territories along the Kama, Vychegda and Pechora rivers and alien
groups of people which settled in these regions, contributed much to the culture of the Komi people,
In the Russian Chronicles the Komi people is referred to as ‘ Perm ‘- which means ‘back land’, but the
Komi people call themselves ‘Komi’.
Geography, Climate and Population
The Komi Republic is both the westernmost and northernmost republic in the European part of Russia.
Measuring square kilometers it is one of the large republic in the Russian Federation with rivers and
lakes, dense forests and the tundra zone.
Summer in Komi generally runs from June through August, followed by a short autumn. Winter is from
October through March. April and May are the traditional months of spring.
The common misconception that the North of Komi is a forever frozen land is countered by sometimes
warm summer seasons, which come as a pleasant surprise to visitors.
The population number around 1, 5 million residents of Komi. Over two thirds of the populations are
concentrated in the cities… The remaining population is dispersed among the numerous smaller towns,
villages and rural locations.
Industry
The Republic’s rich natural resources are the source for most of its major industries: oil and gas
exploration, production, refining and pipeline transportation, fisheries production and processing, the
mining of coal, precious metals like gold, semi-precious stones and forest products. Komi’s largest
trading partners are Hungary, Finland and Germany.
Komi’s transportation system is modern and consists of two major airports in Syktyvkar, the capital of
the republic, and Vorkuta, the most northerly located city, and smaller airports in nearly each bigger
town. The Moscow-Vorkuta railroad connects Komi with the center.
Traditions, Culture, Education
National creative ability of the Komi people is unique and original, the sources of national art being
traced in ancient times.
Wood carving, weaving, knitting, pottery making, embroidery, fur and suede processing have always
been traditional folk arts of the Komi, which have achieved a new stage with the spiritual revival of the
Komi people.
The Republic provides a free education to all its children. Its expenditures per student are among the
highest in Russia.
There are currently a lot of post-secondary institutions and programs in the Republic, including the Komi
University, several institutes, business schools, and a multitude of vocational, technical and professional
training schools.
