Overview

Gora Narodnaya is the highest mountain of the Urals. Located in the polar parts of the Ural chain it forms part of the European/Asian divide, or in more local terms: the divide between the valleys of the Manaraga – towards Europe – and the Naroda – towards Asia, respectively.

Gora Narodnaya is often termed the highest peak of the Komi Republic as well, although this is not exactly true: The border between the Komi Republic – European – and the Autonomous District of the Khanti and Mansi – Asian – runs 600 m to the noth west of the main summit, across a shoulder of Narodnaya. In any case Narodnaya is the highest summit of the Autonomous District of the Khanti and Mansi.

The name „Narodnaya“ appears to be an ill-understood „Nárada-iz“ – Narada peak –, as it is called in the Komi language. First climbed in 1927 by the geologist A. N. Aleshkov, it was named „mountain of the people“ – Gora Narodnaya – in Russian. This seemed to be better acceptable to the political logic of the day. Another name is Poznurr.
