The Narodnaja ( Russian Народная ; also (gora) Naroda, (гора) Народа ) is the highest mountain in the Urals at 1895 m .
According to geographical tradition, the inner Eurasian border is drawn along the Urals, the Caspian Sea , through the Kuma-Manych lowland , the Black Sea and the Bosporus . Accordingly, the Narodnaja, the highest point in the European part of Russia, lies exactly on the defined border between Europe and Asia.
The mountain is located in the sub-polar Urals (Russian Приполярный Урал) in the northwest of the Khanty and Mansi Autonomous Okrug , only about 500 meters east of the border with the Komi Republic .
The mountain is formed by Proterozoic and Cambrian quartzites and metamorphic schists . The area around the Narodnaya is slightly glaciated . In the lower elevations, the mountain is covered by sparse larch and birch taiga , in the higher areas by mountain tundra .
The Narodnaya was discovered, named and recognized as the highest mountain in the Urals by an expedition led by the geologist AN Aleschkow in 1927.
