Pechora (Russian: Печо́ра; Komi: Печӧра, Pećöra) is a town in the Komi Republic, Russia, located on the Pechora River, west of and near the northern Ural Mountains. The area of the town is 28.9 square kilometres (11.2 sq mi). Population: 43,105 (2010 Census).
Pechora was granted town status in 1949. Pechora was also the site of a Stalin-era gulag that operated from 1932 to 1953, although it was partially emptied in 1941 as many of the inmates were forced into service in the Red Army. There is a dedicated room at the Pechora museum where they display many of the records and artifacts that were recovered from the gulag. "Pechora" translates to "cave" in Ukrainian.
