Komi peoples
The
Komi
people is an ethnic group whose homeland is in the north-east of European
Russia
around the basins of the
Vychegda
,
Pechora
and
Kama
rivers. They mostly live in the
Komi Republic
,
Perm Krai
,
Murmansk Oblast
,
Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug
, and
Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug
in the Russian Federation. They belong to the Permian branch of the
Finno-Ugric peoples
. The Komis are divided into eight sub-groups. Their northernmost sub-group is also known as the
Komi-Izhemtsy
(from the name of the river
Izhma
) or
Iz'vataz
. This group numbers 15,607 (2002). This group is distinct for its more traditional, strongly subsistence based economy which includes
reindeer
husbandry. Komi-Permyaks (125,235 people) live in
Perm Krai
and
Kirov Oblast
of Russia.
