Kudymkar - the city of Kudym-Osha: attractions and photos

In the north-west of the Perm region , where the Kuva and Inva , stands the small city of Kudymkar - the center of the historical, cultural heritage and traditions of the Komi-Permyak people. People don’t come here for entertainment and urbanism, they come here for the authenticity steeped in ethnicity, which can be found in every corner of the city - from low-rise wooden houses with national ornaments to the name of the city itself.

City `s history

The settlement was first mentioned in written sources in 1579, but this is not where the history of the Komi-Permyak land begins. Back in the 7th–17th centuries, on a 40-meter ledge of the left bank of the Kuva River behind a palisade stood the log dwellings of the ancestors of the Komi-Permyaks. They were engaged in hunting, farming, and had trade relations, mainly with the Bulgars. The favorable location served not only as protection from the enemy, but also allowed the ancient tribes to be closer to the Sun and the patron god En .

In the north of the settlement, the indigenous population built a necropolis - modern researchers have discovered burials from the 17th century with Russian crosses, but elements of the funeral rite of the Komi-Permyaks (shallow pits, covered with birch bark). And this is not the only place in Kudymkar where Russian and Komi-Permyak traditions are intricately intertwined. For example, not far from the settlement there is a holy spring , designed in the form of a bear’s head (a symbol that came from Chud antiquities) and regularly consecrated by ministers of the Orthodox Church - this results in a kind of symbiosis of paganism and Christianity. Today, the Kudymkar settlement is a monument of the Rodan archaeological culture and has the status of a monument of federal significance.

There is a legend according to which there once lived a mighty hero Kudym-osh . For a long time he wandered through the dense lands and forests in search of a home, until he came across a ledge on the steep and high bank of the Inva River . Then the hero shouted: “This is where my settlement will be,” and moved to these lands along with his tribe. The city was named after him - Kudym-kar , that is, “the settlement of Kudym.” In general Kudym-osh , being a hero of national legends, is a regular in Komi-Permyak legends and the pride of the Komi-Permyak people.

But the official chronicle of the settlement is still kept only from the 16th century. At this time, there were only 7 houses and 11 men living here. However, already in 1609 Kudymkar became the center of a district of four villages, and by 1623 it already included 11 villages and 13 districts. In 1700, Kudymkar and other Komi-Permyak villages became subordinate to the Stroganovs . During the ownership of these lands by the princely dynasty, the city grew significantly - if in 1715 about 470 people lived in the settlement, then by 1893 it increased to 1051 people, and there were also 290 households, there was a zemstvo hut, a mill and a stone church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker , which today is the calling card of the city.
