Izhevsk

Izhevsk (Russ. Ижевск, Finn. Issikari, Udmt. Ижкар/Izhkar) is the second-largest city in Uralica after Perm', and an important centre of Uralic culture, being the capital of the former autonomous state of Udmurtiya. Located in the southern regions of Uralica, it is close to the same chernozem soils that allow Uralica to be self-sufficient in production of grains. Officially annexed to much applause in early September of 2009, Izhevsk is also the birthplace of one of the founders of the Uralicist Movement, one Dr. Ovdey Shlomov.

Culture
Even in the pre-Robertian days of Russian domination of the area, Izhevsk's population had a large population of Udmurts. In the days after Great War III, however, a great many people left the city in fear that it would be attacked with nuclear weapons because of its history of industrial and weapons manufacturing, but this never materialised. Most of the Russians never returned, however the Udmurts stubbornly clung to that area, and now make up the vast majority of the population (as is the case with the rest of the Udmurtiya region of Uralica).
