History of Perm Krai
For the first time the word “perm” was mentioned in “The Tale of Past Years”, a fundamental source in the interpretation of the history of the Eastern Slavs created in the early 12th century. Perm were one of the peoples who paid tribute to the Kievan Rus. They were found by the first Russian expeditions to the Urals, to the north of the Kama River basin. Later, in Russian chronicles, this territory was called Old Perm or Perm Vychegodskaya.
Unlike Perm Vychegodskaya, the land along the upper reaches of the Kama River became known as the Great Perm. This name is often found in the written monuments of the 14th century. In the 14th - 17th centuries, the Great Perm included extensive lands along the Kama from its origins in the west to the Ural mountain range in the east, and from the upper reaches of the Pechora River in the north to the Chusovaya River in the south.
Novgorod merchants were the first ones who got interested in the Great Perm (furs and tributes). In the 14th - the first half of the 15th centuries, the Grand Duchy of Moscow began to encroach on the lands in the upper Kama. In the early 15th century, the first Russian settlements were founded in the Great Perm.
More Historical Facts…
In the second half of the 15th century, after the Novgorod Republic ceased to exist, the area became part of the united Russian state. Russia significantly expanded its borders to the east and gained access to new natural resources.
In the 17th century, the town of Sol Kamskaya (Solikamsk) became an important center of military, economic and cultural assimilation of the Middle Urals in the north. In the south-east, the newly constructed town of Kungur played the same role. In the first quarter of the 18th century, about 46,000 people lived on the territory of Great Perm, about 65% of them were Russians.
Until 1727, the Middle Urals was part of Siberian gubernia with the center in Tobolsk, then Perm was part of Kazan gubernia, and, from 1781, by order of Catherine II, the Perm region ruled by a governor-general was formed.
It remained the main mining area of the Russian Empire until the end of the 19th century. There were more than 110 mining plants producing cast iron, iron, steel. For a long time, it was the main provider of copper. Salt production was also developed. In the east of the Urals large deposits of platinum were discovered. By the end of the 19th century, gold mining grew twice.
The 20th century was marked by intense growth of the local industry: engineering structure became more complex and rich. During the Second World War, more than 120 plants were evacuated in the Western Urals. Such branches of industry as chemical, non-ferrous metallurgy, oil-processing developed intensely; oil deposits prospecting began; a number of pulp and paper mills was concentrated in the region; new towns grew on the basis of new industries.
In 1938, Perm Oblast was formed. In 1940-1957, it was called Molotov Oblast. In Soviet times, the Komi-Perm Autonomous District was part of Perm oblast. In 1993, with the adoption of the Constitution of Russia, it became an independent subject of the Russian Federation.
In 2003, a referendum was held in which the residents of Perm Oblast and the Komi-Perm Autonomous District supported the unification of the two regions into one. In 2005, these two administrative regions ceased to exist and the united Perm Krai was formed.

At Stanford, I have had the privilege to pursue independent studies, including the Levinthal Tutorial, with devoted and talented instructors that approached my work with critical generosity and improved my caliber of writing tenfold. Workshop classes like English 92 and 192 helped me meet other writers on campus and the creative spaces brought much-needed inspiration.

Humanities Institute hosts Writing Studio to foster community, craft
Photo courtesy of Pexels
The myth of the solitary scholar is just that: a myth.
To kick off the fall semester, the Humanities Institute at Arizona State University, in partnership with The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ humanities division; the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies (SHPRS); the School of International Letters and Cultures (SILC); and the Department of English, is changing the story by convening community through the Writing Studio .
Beginning Aug. 30, each Friday morning, faculty and graduate students will gather at the Humanities Institute at Ross-Blakley Hall on ASU’s Tempe campus, with many others joining from across the country and from around the world on Zoom. Together, they will work to complete individual projects ranging from dissertation proposals to complete book chapters, op-ed essays and fictional prose.
The Writing Studio is led by Christopher Jones , associate professor of history in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies. Jones has long worked with the professional writing coach Rich Furman to cultivate a strong strategy and intentional approach to accomplishing scholarly writing goals. With the Writing Studio, Jones brings this knowledge to the wider ASU community, helping faculty to expand their publishing enterprise and graduate students to meet their dissertation project milestones.
“(The Writing Studio) provides faculty and graduate students a welcoming space to develop writing projects, learn new habits to overcome writing obstacles, build community and enhance their research,” Jones said.
Crucially, it is the uncommon opportunity to bring students and faculty together to accomplish shared goals in community with one another that most defines the spirit of the series.
PhD candidate Farah Najar Arevalo, a doctoral candidate of innovation in global development in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society, said, "I joined the Writing Studio during the writing phase of my master’s applied project. I learned how to set writing habits and that some writing challenges are shared, and we are not alone. Now that I am working on my doctoral dissertation, I am grateful to Dr. Chris Jones and the Humanities Institute team who make this space possible, and I promote it with my school peers over and over like a broken record.”
The summer iteration of the Writing Studio continues a series that meets weekly at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, and biweekly in May and June. Recent publications developed in the studio have appeared in leading journals in the humanities and humanistic social sciences, including Communication Design Quarterly, the Journal of Applied Psychology, the Quarterly Journal of Speech, and Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance.
Underscoring the Writing Studio’s importance to the mission of the Humanities Institute (HI), Professor of English Ron Broglio said, “HI is thrilled to see the Writing Studio flourish as a space for fostering collaborative scholarly endeavors and for providing valuable support for our faculty and graduate students. Such an investment is underscored by the sustaining support of The College’s division of humanities alongside SHPRS, SILC and (the Department of) English.
"We look forward to seeing the growth and success of the Writing Studio as it continues to empower and inspire.”
The fall 2024 iteration of the Writing Studio meets in person (with a virtual option) every Friday, Aug. 30 through Sept. 27. All are welcome.
