Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra

Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra extends from the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains to the Ob–Irtysh lowlands, encompassing vast taiga, river valleys and wetlands of western Siberia. The Ob and Irtysh, two of Russia’s major rivers, shape settlement patterns and transport across this expansive territory. Khanty-Mansiysk, the regional capital, stands on the Irtysh near its confluence with the Ob. Ugra takes its name from the Khanty and Mansi peoples, whose cultures remain an essential part of the region’s identity, alongside an economy strongly associated with oil production.
