  1. · Declaration

    Komi sovereignty declaration, 1990

    The Komi ASSR declared sovereignty and was renamed the Komi Republic within two years.

    Significance here: Part of the broader "parade of sovereignties" among Russian autonomous republics at the end of the Soviet period, leading directly to the republic's modern name and status.

  2. · Agreement

    Komi-Russia power-sharing treaty, 1996-2002

    Komi signed a bilateral power-sharing treaty with Moscow granting it economic autonomy, later abolished as part of a nationwide rollback.

    Significance here: An example of the Yeltsin-era bilateral autonomy arrangements later reversed under federal recentralisation, a pattern also seen in several other Russian republics covered in this collection.
