Great Perm

Great Perm, or Perm Land, also known as the Principality of Perm (1451–1505), is a historical region and former principality along the Kama River in Russia. The city of Cherdyn was the center of the region.

The region is first mentioned in 1324. Vasily II of Moscow appointed a prince in 1451 to govern the region. Great Perm was formally dependent on Novgorod until 1471, after which it was dependent on Moscow until it was finally incorporated into the Russian state in 1505.

The use of the official name Great Perm ceased in 1708 when the Siberia Governorate was established as part of administrative reforms by Peter the Great. Perm Governorate was later established in 1796, which in turn was succeeded by Perm Krai, now a federal subject of Russia.
