History
Pechora was granted town status in 1950. 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.
In the 1990s memorials were erected to commemorate those who died in the camp infirmary.
