abstract
  • Karelia (Finnish: Karjala; Russian: Карелия, Karyeliya), officially known as the Republic of Karelia, is a republic of the Soviet Union located in Northeastern Europe. The republic includes territory in Fennoscandia and includes coastlines on the Gulf of Finland, Lake Ladoga, Lake Onega, and the White Sea. Karelia is a unique area which has been influenced by both Finns and Russians for centuries, which continues to shape the region to this day. The modern day republic gained it start following the Winter War in 1940, when the Soviet Union annexed territory from neighboring Finland. These territories were merged with East Karelia to form the short-lived Karelo-Finnish SSR. The hopes of spreading communism into the rest of Finland were unsuccessful, with the KFSSR being downgraded in 1956 as Fenno-Soviet relations were improving and much of the non-Russian population moved out of the region. As part of Glasnost and the Parade of Sovereignties, support grew for the re-establishment of Karelian sovereignty, which became a reality in 1995.
