Vychegda Perm, also known asLittle Perm orOld Perm was a medieval state and later vassal of theNovgorod Republic andMuscovy, which was based in along theVychegda River.[1] Vychegda Perm was originally atribal state and was an importantfur trading hub, which was valuable to the Novgorod, leading to the Novgorodian seizure of Vychegda Perm in the early14th century. Vychegda Perm was populated by thePermian andKomi peoples and the region was converted toEastern Orthodox Christianity bySt.Stefan of Perm, beginning in 1378–1379.[2][3]
The conversion of the region led Moscow and Novgorod into immediate risk of conflict, with Stefan having converted the region for the Muscovites, leading it into question who the Permians were to paytribute to. Novgorod Republic ceded the region to Moscow in 1383.[2]
