Brief introduction
The Komi Republic, which will be discussed in this article, is a state subject of the Russian Federation. It is part of the Northern Economic Region. The capital of the Komi Republic is the city of Syktyvkar, which will be given the maximum attention below. The republic originates from the summer of 1921. Then it was called the Autonomous Region of Zyryan. Only in 1936 did the territory become a republic. There are two official languages: Komi and Russian. The greatest distribution among the people are Belarusian, Ukrainian and Tatar languages. The head of the republic is Sergey Gaplikov.
Government of the Komi Republic
The power in the Republic is divided into legislative, judicial and executive. The supreme power has the head of the Republic Sergey Gaplikov. The highest authority is the government, whose head is Larisa Maksimova. The Government of the Republic is doing its job perfectly, developing Komi at all state levels. Authorities collaborate with many Moscow universities. Students of the latter after graduation can be poisoned in the Republic of Komi for internship. True, so far only those educational institutions that work in the field of sports and culture have received such an offer. By 2018, the Government of the Komi Republic plans to implement a large-scale project called the “Universal Information Educational Environment”. This proposal at one of the meetings of the executive authorities was voiced by their head Larisa Maximova. In the spring of 2017, a meeting of the All-Russian military-patriotic movement "Yunarmia" was held in the capital. During it, it was decided to open ten municipal headquarters in Syktyvkar. The committees of the Komi Republic work together, thanks to which it is developing very rapidly and efficiently, which cannot be denied if we analyze the achievements over the past years.
It is known that there are not enough educational units in the Republic, so children are trained in two shifts. In this regard, it was decided to immediately create another 11400 new educational units, which will gradually open until 2025. The same spring, the Government of the Republic entered into an agreement with Uzbekistan on the supply of tower cranes, which are produced in Komi. Larisa Maksimova favored the fact that recently in Moscow there was an exhibition called "Plateau Manpupuner", which was dedicated to the weathering posts on the named plateau - a unique memorial to Komi. The Permanent Mission of the Komi Republic announced the opening of a Finno-Ugric ethnic park, which became a regional tour operator and was included in the federal register of tour operators.

Syktyvkar Vegetation
The natural vegetation of the capital of Komi is very uniform and consists mainly of coniferous forests. Often there are taiga forests with birch, aspen and pine trees. Near the reservoirs you can find spruce vegetation, which grows well on loamy soil. Boron terraces are covered with pine trees. In small valleys near rivers that are found throughout the city, deciduous trees grow densely. About 2.5% of the entire territory is occupied by swamps and lakes.
Ecology
The capital of the Komi Republic has a rather tolerable level of ecology in comparison with other territorial units in the Russian Federation. There are about 40 enterprises operating in Syktyvkar. The most dangerous among them is a forest processing enterprise. It is very large because it works on a global scale. Since the beginning of 2000, the company’s management began to actively introduce modern cleaning technologies in order to minimize the amount of harmful substances and waste. For example, recently it was banned to use chlorine for bleaching coniferous flux. A new workshop was opened that deals with chlorine-free bleaching. The second most polluting city is Komitex. The plant is engaged in the production of synthetic fabrics. The city authorities are doing everything in order to introduce purification technologies into production, which are still not enough to speak with confidence about the normal environmental situation.
Development prospects
The development of the Komi Republic takes place in various fields. Economic activity is based on the extraction and primary processing of minerals such as oil, coal, reptile, gems, bauxite and others. A large share of the income comes from wood processing plants and paper mills. If necessary, the Republic can develop at the expense of other minerals, with which it is very rich, but which are not yet priority (deposits of coal, oil shale, asphaltites, peat, oil and natural gas). In some areas, the deposits of these minerals are very rich, but there is no need to use them yet. Mining and chemical raw materials (phosphorites, sulfur, rock and potassium salts, barites) make a significant contribution to the economy. For example: in the Republic there are two largest deposits of barite - Palninskoye and Khoilinskoye, which respectively have reserves of 17 million tons and 40 million tons.
