Main Feature relief of the Perm Territory are the Ural Mountains. The western part of the Perm Territory (80% of the territory) is located on the outskirts of the East European Plain, where low-lying and flat relief prevails. In the east, the Ural Mountains are located, occupying 20% ​​of the territory of the region.

Sometime in antiquity (about 285 million years ago) on the site of modern Ural mountains splashed the ancient Perm Sea. From the bottom sediments of the sea, modern rocks and minerals were formed: limestone, anhydrite, gypsum, salt, oil, coal.

Since the Ural Mountains are very ancient, it is believed that the Ural Mountains have long been one of the highest mountains on the planet, but over the course of many millions of years they have been subjected to natural destruction, and now they are only the surviving foundations of the former mountains.

The highest mountains of the Perm Territory are Tulymsky stone (1496 m), Isherim (1331 m), Khu-Soik (1300 m), Prayer Stone (1240 m). Stones in the Urals are mountains that rise sharply above the rest of the area. In the past, all the Ural Mountains were called the Belt Stone. Currently, the Ural Mountains are the natural border between Europe and Asia.

Another distinctive feature relief are caves. Nature was generous to the Perm region and gave her such pearls as the Kungur Ice Cave, Orda Cave, Divya Cave, Badinskaya Cave and many others.

Some of the caves are equipped for excursions, some retain their natural originality. Each of them is unique in its own way.

For example, the Kungur ice cave is famous far beyond the borders of not only the Perm region, but also Russia for its ice grottoes. Ordinskaya cave is a real paradise for cave diving (scuba diving in caves).

Distinctive features. One of the balanced regions in terms of economic development/tourism. It is also an unofficial representation of aliens in Russia.

The history of the Perm Territory is rooted in ancient times, when Russia consisted of many large and not very principalities. It was then that the caravans of pioneers stretched to the banks of the Kama, the main purpose of which was fishing activities. Skins, fish, meat, etc. After the territory Perm region became part of the Russian state - the main part of the mining industry was safely shoved there. And steel, cast iron, and iron were smelted at an accelerated pace. This was the case until the end of the 19th century, and then pumping out came to the fore natural resources from Mother Russia.

The extraction of salt, coal, gold, diamonds, all this, coupled with mechanical engineering and chemical industry form the basis of the economy of the Perm Territory.

Despite the fact that more than 70% of the region is covered with forests, the environment here is terrible. Of course, this is also connected with the vital activity of large cities, but the main source of pollution is, of course, emissions from industrial facilities.

In fairness, it should be noted that the authorities are seriously fighting to improve the environment. For example, over the past 5 years, more than 11 billion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of programs to improve environment. The question, however, is how much of this money reached its destination, and how much ended up in the pockets of officials ...

Tourism is also quite developed, and the presence of the reliefs of the Ural Mountains annually attracts thousands of lovers of outdoor activities, snowboarding, skiing, and ski touring. More calm and balanced can devote their holidays or just free time, examining nature reserves, museums, art galleries, architectural monuments.

But a mammoth tusk or the life of a landowner in the pre-revolutionary era can be seen, perhaps, in any more or less populated point in Russia. But in the Perm Territory there is a place that is unique by definition. There is no other like it anywhere. This is the legendary Perm Triangle, a mecca for all researchers of anomalous phenomena. A place where UFOs fly in schools like birds, disappear into lakes, emerge from them, in general, frolic to the fullest. In addition to them, here you have a geomagnetic anomaly, and chronomirages, and "witch rings", and mysterious domed clouds. True, the mystique and sacredness of this place is slightly spoiled by the abundance of tourists who annually flock here like flies, hoping for close contacts of the third kind.

Geographic location. Both Europe and Asia. True, mostly Europe is still - 99.8% of the territory of the Perm Territory belongs to it, and everything else is already Asia. Almost the entire Perm Territory lies in the basin of the Kama River, through which free access to 5 seas is provided at once. Most of the territory of the Perm Territory is plains, but about 20% are mountains and uplands. highest mountain- Tulymsky stone (1496 meters).

The Perm Territory borders on the Republic of Komi, the Sverdlovsk Region, the Kirov Region, Udmurtia, and Bashkortostan.

Population Perm Territory - 2,635,862 people Russians are more than 80%, Tatars - about 5%. Well, the Russians did not completely oust indigenous people, generously leaving them 3%. The population of other nationalities of the Perm Territory is so small that it is exotic and curiosity. The Perm Territory is quite urbanized - most of The population is scattered throughout the major cities.

Crime

A white swan flies in a clear sky.
Above the cursed house near Solikamsk.
And the entire prisoner army remembers
Brilliant Vasya, Brilliant Vasya.

There is one place in the Perm Territory that terrifies the entire civilized world. It is here, among the salt resorts of Solikamsk, that there is a colony for life-sentenced "White Swan". A place where thieves in law are broken, where the most famous maniacs, murderers, terrorists, rapists and cannibals sit.

However, those living in Solikamsk have nothing to worry about - it is impossible to escape from such a colony, where life resembles hell. In general, the Perm Territory is the edge of the zones, and therefore, if it is unrealistic to escape from the Swan, then they run from other colonies with the regularity of charter flights. And also, criminals released from the zones often do not go to other regions, but settle in the Perm Territory. And not all of them are reformed and righteous. All this, plus the unsatisfactory work of the region's police, plus the standard Russian troubles like drug addiction, banditry and theft, give the Perm Territory a disappointing fifth place in Russia in the crime rating.

Unemployment rate. Registered unemployment in the Perm Territory is 1.64%. It is most difficult to find a job for people with disabilities, graduates educational institutions and persons released from places of deprivation of liberty. The average salary is quite high compared to other regions. It is about 21,000 rubles. But Putin vows to give everyone and everything a raise, and salaries are expected to rise to 24,165 rubles in the near future.

The property. The price range is very, very wide. In Perm one-room apartment you can buy both for 900,000 rubles and for 3,000,000, kopeck pieces go from 1,500,000 to 4,000,000. It’s quite possible to rent a one-room apartment for 16 thousand. And in the same Solikamsk, prices are much more fun compared to Perm - here and a four-room apartment can be bought for 1,700,000.

Climate. Winter in the Perm region lasts almost 200 days a year, from October to the end of March. Snowy. By March, the thickness of the snow cover can be 80-90 cm. The temperature in winter averages -16 degrees, but can drop to minus 50 and below. Spring is extremely unstable, the weather jumps like bunnies on the lawn. But May is already a really warm and sunny month. Smoothly turning into summer, when the average temperature is +15 degrees. Precipitation - 700-800 mm per year.

Cities of the Perm Territory

This is what Perm looks like today. Photo by Vladimir Ogleznev (http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/trans338/)

Perm today is a modern metropolis, terribly reminiscent of New York in its latticed arrangement of streets. By the way, hippies in the 80s called one of the main avenues of Perm "Broadway", which, incidentally, was not associated with an abundance of musicals, but simply meant "to wander." In general, this is a city with humor. There is the famous river Styx, which is the border between the largest cemetery and the city itself. This, of course, is not the Greek Styx, and Charon does not scurry back and forth, but it's still funny.

The city has developed infrastructure, transport network, many industrial facilities, trade and small business are actively flourishing. The abundance of museums, cinemas, shopping centers, theaters, clubs is not inferior to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Well, yes, it's a little off. But all the same, there are endless opportunities in Perm - both for building a career-work-study, and for modern, active or intellectual recreation.

By the way, there is something to breathe here - the city is literally buried in squares and parks.

. The second largest city in the Perm Territory, which immediately yields almost 10 times in terms of population to the capital of the region - 152,996 people. The birthplace of Beni, by the way, is Govorukhin, and the wonderful actor Georgy Burkov. A city with giants of heavy industry, most of which are from the chemical industry. There are several hospitals, 25 schools, a university, for some reason two sanatoriums and an abyss of mutagenic, ugly ecology. In general, if you want to work for a huge, stable manufacturing titan like Uralkali, then welcome. But if you don’t want your children to grow tails or gills, and don’t mind living to a respectable old age and dying at 150, then our advice to you is to choose another city for life.

Perm Territory - part of Russia

The expanses of Russia are great. Almost in the center of it is our small homeland, the place where we live - the Perm Territory.

It is part of the Volga Federal District.

Previously, the region was called the Perm region, which was formed on October 3, 1938.

On May 26, 1967, the Perm Region for labor in the field of economy and cultural construction was awarded the highest government award of that time - Order of Lenin.

Perm Territory was formed December 1, 2005 as a result of the unification of the region and the Komi-Permyatsky Autonomous Okrug in accordance with the results of the referendum held on December 7, 2003.

The regional center is the city of Perm.

Where did the word "Perm" come from?

Many scientists struggled with this riddle. But there is no definitive answer to this question to this day. The Permian land keeps its secrets tightly.

Often our region is called beautiful word"PARMA", which in translation from the Komi language means "HIGH TERRAIN COVERED WITH SPRUCE FOREST". Indeed, the land on which we live is famous for its forests. So, maybe the name "Perm" is a modified "Parma"? But even here there are contradictions. Indeed, in the ancient Russian chronicles, our area was called not Great Parma, but Great Perm.

Many scientists believe that the word "Perm" is a foreign language for our places, and it came to us from the language of the Veps, people who lived between the Onega and Ladoga lakes. For them, the territory of our region was "pera ma" - the back distant land. In the Baltic-Finnish languages, these lands were called "pera maa". The name was adopted by the Novgorodians, who were actively trading with the peoples of the northeastern European part of Russia. It was they who called the peoples of the "distant land" permins, the area - "perem", and later, since this was a very large territory, they gave it the name Great Perm.

The inhabitants of our region are called Permyaks (Permyak, Permyak).

The main face of the region is governor. He is appointed by the President of the Russian Federation.

The creation of the laws of the Perm Territory is ensured Legislative Assembly. It consists of deputies who are elected for five years.

Responsible for the implementation of laws and the development of the region Government of the Perm Territory which is subordinate to the governor.

Each country, region, region, city has its own official symbols. Such symbols include the coat of arms, the flag and the anthem. There are also in the Perm Territory.

Coat of arms- a sign that is depicted on flags, coins, seals, documents. The very word "coat of arms" is very ancient. In some languages Slavic peoples it translates as "inheritance". Our coat of arms is very ancient. This is the true heritage of the ancestors.

The ancient inhabitants of the Perm land, our ancestors, were very close to the nature around them. They worshiped animals, respecting their intelligence and strength. One of the most revered animals was the bear, the owner of the forest. Hunters wore his fangs and claws as an amulet, and the paws nailed to the hut, according to the owners, protected from all troubles and hardships. In honor of the owner of the taiga, fairy tales and songs, legends and traditions were composed, special rituals were performed. Archaeologists still find many stone and bronze images of this animal during excavations.
