About Izhma

Izhma is a village of about 3,700 on the Izhma River, in the northwest of the Komi Republic, founded in 1567. Most of the population of Izhma and surrounding villages are ethnic Komi and, more specifically, Komi-Izhemtsy. Until the middle of the 20th century, reindeer husbandry was the main branch of the economy in this region. It is no longer as important economically, but remains a widespread practice. The rich folk traditions of the Komi people are well-preserved in Izhma.
