The name of the village 'Khorey-Ver' directly translates in Nenets to 'direct forest' or 'straight forest'. The village was founded in 1926 when several families that hunted reindeer gathered to form the settlement and in 1939, they received permission in partnerships to hunt and fish, and later to farm; the partnership was named 'Ilyich' after Vladimir Lenin's middle name.^[5]
