These people had cultural and trade links with some tribes and people, for example, the Scythians people of Egypt, Middle Asia and Iran experienced significant cultural effect from their developed southern neighbour.

Ancient Komi tribes inhabited the territories along the Kama, Vychegda and Pechora rivers and alien groups of people which settled in these regions, contributed much to the culture of the Komi people,

In the Russian Chronicles the Komi people is referred to as ‘ Perm ‘- which means ‘back land’, but the Komi people call themselves ‘Komi’.

Summer in Komi generally runs from June through August, followed by a short autumn. Winter is from October through March. April and May are the traditional months of spring.

The common misconception that the North of Komi is a forever frozen land is countered by sometimes warm summer seasons, which come as a pleasant surprise to visitors.

Komi’s largest trading partners are Hungary, Finland and Germany.

Komi’s transportation system is modern and consists of two major airports in Syktyvkar, the capital of the republic, and Vorkuta, the most northerly located city, and smaller airports in nearly each bigger town. The Moscow-Vorkuta railroad connects Komi with the center.

Wood carving, weaving, knitting, pottery making, embroidery, fur and suede processing have always been traditional folk arts of the Komi, which have achieved a new stage with the spiritual revival of the Komi people.

The Republic provides a free education to all its children. Its expenditures per student are among the highest in Russia.
