In the northeast of Moscow lies the Komi Republic. The capital of the Republic is Syktyvkar and the name of the Komi people comes from the name of the Kama River. Many still live there the way their fathers and grandfathers lived, and this, perhaps, is the best thing there – traditions. Here are some interesting facts about this region:

🔸 There are more than 78,000 lakes here, but 98% of them have an area of less than 0.5 square kilometers;

🔸 About 60,000 tons of cranberries are harvested here annually;

🔸 Situated in the Komi Republic, the swamp called Ocean, with an area of almost 179,000 hectares, is the largest in all of Europe;

🔸 Here is the largest woodworking enterprise in Russia;

🔸 In the Komi Republic there are about 4400 different species of animals;

🔸 Here you can see one of the Seven Wonders of Russia – pillars of weathering, unique rock formations (👇🏻);

🔸 Scientists unite under the concept of “Komi” 11 different ethnic groups.
