Komi-Permyak Okrug

The territory spans 32,770 square kilometers across the Ural Mountain foothills, featuring dense taiga forests of fir, pine, spruce, and birch trees.

Established in 1925 as the Komi-Permyak National Okrug, the region merged with Perm Oblast in 2005 to create the current Perm Krai territory.

The Komi-Permyaks, belonging to Finno-Ugric peoples, represented 59 percent of the population according to the 2002 census, with Russians at 38.2 percent.

The region maintains Kudymkar as its administrative center, with an overall population density of 3.5 people per square kilometer as recorded in 2010.

Before the 2005 administrative reorganization, this district stood as the single autonomous okrug in Russia where the indigenous group formed the population majority.
