Northernmost countries and autonomous regions of Europe

Kudymkar and Kudymkar district has the highest population density. While the geographical center of okrug - Yurla district is an ethnic russian exclave. By the way okrug have the special status within of Perm krai, while Perm krai dont have any special status in Russia. It is soviet atavism, for example tatar-bashkir Barda district have only cultural autonomy, Udmurts and Mari in Perm krai dont have it at all.

According to the Russian Constitution, the Russian Federation consists of republics, krais, oblasts, cities of federal importance, an autonomous oblast and autonomous okrugs, all of which are equal subjects of the Russian Federation.
From 1993 to 2005, the Komi-Permyak Okrug was a subject of the Russian Federation (Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug) that is it had the same status as the Perm Krai or any other subject of the Russian Federation.
Today even if Komi-Permyak Okrug has a special status within the Perm Krai it is not the same as a subject of the Russian Federation.
Also Tatars, Bashkirs, Mari and others already have their own national formations within the Russian Federation and those are subjects of the Russian Federation (Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Mari El). The Komi-Permyaks have only Komi-Permyak Okrug.

Well, I wrote that Komi-Permyak Okrug have special status in Perm Krai, not on federal level as separate subject. That means that we have Ministry of Komi-Permyak Okrug Affairs in Perm Krai administration but we dont have such for other areas. All the subjects are equal only on the paper while in reality it is big difference between Chechnya and Kostroma, Omsk and Tatarstan, difference that often was artificially created. I hope with new Constitution this problem would be solved.

The earth is round and countries can be in neighborhood or not. If they live near each other, they have common things. Finland has little common with Alaska and more common with Sweden. All three locate between same latitudes. Weather also can connect, not only distance. Generally speaking, in Northern Europe in influence of the Gulf Stream the weather is mild. In Asia and America, much more to south, winters are colder, although summers can be warmer. What does this try to prove? Only that statistics based on latitudes tell something, but in practice not very much.

Ok, here's a list of the yearly average temperature in different Northern European capital cities (based on data listed by Wikipedia):

(yearly average temperature;city)
-3.1;Naryan-Mar (Nenets Autonomous Okrug)
-2.3;Kárášjohka (Sápmi)
1.3;Syktyvkar (Komi Republic)
1.7;Kudymkar (Komi-Permyak Okrug)
3.0;Izhevsk (Udmurtia)
3.1;Petrozavodsk (Republic of Karelia)
3.2;Yoshkar-Ola (Mari El)
3.8;Ufa (Bashkortostan)
4.3;Cheboksary (Chuvashia)
4.6;Kazan (Tatarstan)
4.7;Reykjavik
5.3;Saransk (Mordovia)
5.7;Mariehamn (Åland Islands)
5.8;Moscow

6.7;Vilnius
6.8;Oslo
6.8;Tórshavn (Faroe Islands)

Surprisingly even Ufa is colder than Reykjavik. And Saransk is colder than Helsinki.

The 7 highest-ranking cities are all part of historically Uralic regions, and the next 3 highest-ranking cities are part of historically Turkic regions. The first IE city is Reykjavik, at position 11.

Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) you can see on the territory of Udmurtia and Perm Krai. On the photo Northern Lights that was seen the Froly settlement near the city of Perm, geographically it is to the north from Izhevsk and to the south from Kudymkar.
