Komi Republic

Built around the Pechora and Vychegda river basins, the Komi Republic grew into a vast northern republic of Russia. It extends across northeastern European Russia, from taiga lowlands towards the Ural Mountains, where the boundary between Europe and Asia runs. The Pechora is one of its defining waterways, flowing north to the Pechora Sea. In the southeast, the UNESCO-listed Virgin Komi Forests protect extensive boreal woodland, including Yugyd Va National Park and the Pechora-Ilych Nature Reserve. Syktyvkar, the capital on the Sysola River, is a centre of Komi culture, associated with a Finno-Ugric people and language.
