 Pomors are an ethnical groep van het Rusland people which came en settled op de Kusts van het White en Barents seas eight Centuries
ago. Most van them have arrived van de Novgorod lands. The word "pomor" comes van de word "pomorje" which means "sea Kust". The Noorder part van Germany
which is populated by Slavic tribes had the same name "Pommern" en it was not changed when German tribes arrived en settled in those parts.
The Rusland Pomors have their own distinctive en original way van life en they
still have in their conversational Rusland language a thick layer van het Oeroude Rusland language. The Museum van Pomors mode van life is opened in Kola.
Today, Kola inhabitants not only work en live by cares van today, but also try naar take care van het nature, the monuments van their history en naar revive spiritual
