==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.
