Presentation of Komi

Full name: Komi Republic
Location: Russian far north
Status: Constituent Republic of the Russian Federation

This republic, with its considerable oil and mineral reserves, is likely to be of economic importance in the future. The Komi are a Finno-Urgic people who have been ruled by the Russians since the 14th century. However, they were largely left to their own devices until the 1930s when the economic significance of the territory was realized. An Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was created in 1936; in 1990 this proclaimed itself a Republic.

The flag of Komi consists of three equal horizontal stripes of blue, green, and white.

Komi is an Autonomous Republic in Russian Federation. Komi people are Finnish. They call their land Komintasavalta, that is "land of Komi" in Finnish.

Presentation of Komi-Permyak

Full name: Komi-Permyak Autonomous Area
Location: Russian far north
Status: Region within the Russian Federation

Although related to the Komi (or Zyrans), Soviet divide-and-rule policies towards ethnic minorities dictated the establishment of a separate region for the Permyaki, and a National Area was created in 1925. Some Komi wish to unite their various regions into a 'Greater Komi Republic'; such aspirations are unlikely to be permitted given the region's economic importance. Information is lacking about any current Komi-Permyak flag.
