On this memorable day, the ancient Komi people celebrate the most important event in their socio-political history - the formation of an independent Republic. This is a favorite folk holiday that has official status. The Komi acquired their own region in 1917, when the Declaration of the Rights of the Peoples of Russia was published. After 4 years, an autonomous region was formed, and a separate republic - the Komi ASSR - appeared 15 years later.
