Perm Krai

The Kama River and the western foothills of the Ural Mountains define much of Perm Krai — waterways, forests and mineral resources have long supported its industrial towns, transport links and rural settlements. The regional capital, Perm, stands on the Kama and is a major cultural centre with a renowned opera and ballet theatre. This is also the place that gave its name to the Permian, a geological period first identified from rock formations in the area. North and east of the city, the terrain becomes increasingly wooded and hilly toward the Urals, while the Kama remains the region’s principal waterway.
