Perm Krai

<p>Perm Krai  is a <a href="/facts/Federal_subjects_of_Russia/f2oIKgbo">federal subject</a> of <a href="/facts/Russia/jfkCwyxn">Russia</a> (a <a href="/facts/Krais_of_Russia/eTeGdEgH">krai</a>), located in <a href="/facts/Eastern_Europe/f5CDGzNA">Eastern Europe</a>. Its <a href="/facts/Administrative_center/jyz1zfzk">administrative center</a> is <a href="/facts/Perm%2c_Russia/wNSSEqLC">Perm</a>. The population of the krai was 2,532,405 (<a href="/facts/2021_Russian_census/qzWKtDRl">2021 Census</a>).
</p><p>The krai was formed on 1 December 2005 as a result of the 2004 <a href="/facts/Referendum/DaF49jCL">referendum</a> on the merger of <a href="/facts/Perm_Oblast/f1D3lIyl">Perm Oblast</a> and <a href="/facts/Komi-Permyak_Autonomous_Okrug/juM9EENN">Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug</a>. Komi-Permyak Okrug retained its autonomous status within Perm Krai during the transitional period of 2006–2008. It also retained a budget separate from that of the krai, keeping all federal transfers. Starting in 2009, Komi-Permyak Okrug's budget became subject to the budgeting law of Perm Krai. The transitional period was implemented in part because Komi-Permyak Okrug relied heavily on federal subsidies, and an abrupt cut would have been detrimental to its economy. The final period of the <a href="/facts/Paleozoic/5qe2wz7U">Paleozoic</a> era, the <a href="/facts/Permian/CYgLgu5u">Permian</a>, is named after the Perm region.
