Multifaceted Syktyvkar in photographs displayed at the Presidential Library

Multimedia exhibition "My Beloved Syktyvkar (marking the 100th anniversary of Komi Republic)" is running at the Presidential Library from August 20 to September 3, 2021.

The exposition has been prepared by specialists of the Presidential Library in cooperation with the National Library of Komi Republic based on photographs from the competition "My Beloved Syktyvkar", organized by the Representation of Komi Republic in the North-West Region of the Russian Federation in 2020. In total, more than 1000 photographs with views of Syktyvkar were submitted to the competition. The virtual exhibition has been based on the most interesting works.

Syktyvkar has been the capital of Komi Republic since 1936. The city was founded by the personal decree of Catherine II in 1780 and originally bore the name of Ust-Sysolsk. During the 19th century, Ust-Sysolsk turned into a large trade center in the North. Today Syktyvkar is a social and business center of Komi Republic.

The Presidential Library’s portal features the materials of the electronic collection Komi Republic: Pages of History. It includes studies, essays, archival documents, photographs and background materials that spotlight the administrative, socio-economic and ethnographic situation of the territories that are now part of the republic.
