Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area — Yugra
Yugra is the Russian North, a unique territory. There are magnificent cedar urmans (forests), divided by mighty wide rivers, where clear lakes hide in pine woods, gray mountains neighbor with boundless cranberry bogs. This is a harsh land of kind and sympathetic people. Centuries-old traditions, national character of the indigenous peoples of the North and modern technologies coexist here.
Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area holds leading positions among the subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of industrial production, power generation, oil and gas production, volume of investment in fixed assets. Here the oil is produced - Yugra residents account for 5% of the world and 41.7% of the all-Russian oil production. Every 20th ton of oil produced in the world comes from Yugra. Yugra is the first among Russian regions in terms of electric power generation: more than 83 billion kilowatt-hours. Four regions of the Russian Federation use Yugra energy.
The region borders with six subjects of the Russian Federation at the same time. It is located in the zone of taiga forests and swamps. The relief of the region is diverse: there are plains, foothills and mountains on its territory. The highest points are Mount Narodnaya (1895 m) in the Subpolar Urals and Mount Pedy (1010 m) in the Northern Urals.
Two major rivers flow in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area: the Ob (3650 km long) and its tributary the Irtysh (3580 km long). The branches of these rivers are also comparable to the major waterways. For example, the Bolshoi Yugan and Vakh (tributaries of the Ob) are compared to the Vistula and Oder. The Konda River, a tributary of the Irtysh, is comparable to the Rhine. Almost all rivers of the region have low flow velocity, characterized by spring-summer floods and overflows. One third of the county's territory is occupied by marshes. There are about 300 thousand lakes surrounded by swamps and forests.
