Who they are
The Komi Yazva are a small Indigenous people with Finno-Ugric roots who live in the Yazva River basin, near the Ural Mountains in Russia. Shaped by forest life and geographical isolation, they preserve their own form of speech and strong ancestral traditions, with traditional spiritual beliefs still shaping the community’s worldview.
