border. Ethnographic studies performed by Finnish, Russian and European 19th century ethnographers (such as Lönnröt, Sjögren, Castren, Keoppen and others) indicate that there were no such things as "Finnish Karelians" or "Russian Karelians" from the ethnic point of view as late as the end of 19th century. What is often mistaken, by modern Finnish ethnographers, for ethnic identity is is a mere citizenship of ethnic Karelians on both sides of the border, where some are of Finnish citizenship while others are of Russian citizenship. There is one more historical aspect that has to be mentioned here which caused this artificial "ethnic" division - Karelian Independence movement in White and Olonets Karelia in 1918-1922 and the Finland-Soviet Wars that took place in the first half of the 20th century. The rhetoric that was used by some of the notable Finnish politicians (K.G.E. Mannerheim in particular) on the subject of Karelia and Karelians in the first half of the 20th century were completely abandoned and abolished in Finland after the Peace Treaty of Paris, 1947. Any mention of ethnic ties between the population of Finland and Karelians, that still lived in the Soviet Union was prohibited. The theory that there are "Finnish Karelians" and "Russian Karelians", which are ethnically different was created, however insubstantial it was. Most of the ethnic Karelians were assimilated into Finns, merely for political reasons. Finnish political leaders simply did not want to mess with the Soviet Union over the subject of Karelia any more. Hence all this nonsense about different ethnic groups of Karelians.

Karelia, Olonets Karelia in the Russian Empire were of Karelian ethnicity at that time . In different sources the ethnic subgroups were called Finns and Karelians, sometimes Finns and Finno-Karelians but there was always a distinctive ethnic separation of Finns and Karelians in those studies. Having said all that I would also like to point out that all ethnic Karelians that inhabited the provinces that belonged to the Duchy of Finland also viewed themselves as part of the Finnish nation, which did not change when Finland gained its independence in 1918. The events that took place in the Russian Karelia in 1918-1922 indicate that the majority of the Russian Karelians, though being Orthodox, desired to belong to Finland and to be part of the Finnish nation too. However due to the Antanta intervention in the White Karelia and the Soviet intervention in the Olonets Karelia it never happened. The evidence suggests that an ethnic Karelian settling in Finland gets fully assimilated into the Finnish nation within 1 generation as the difference between the nations is so small.

ethnicity - in other words, the Orthodox East Karelians. (Minahan mentions that some Karelians live in Finland too. It is easy to see what he is referring to: Before 1939 and 1944, there were 55 000 Karelian-speaking Orthodox Karelians in Finland too, but after the evacuation they have been linguistically assimilated in the Finnish population). Information of the identity of the Finnish Karelians is extremely essential, necessary and relevant here as long as both of the distinct groups of Karelians are discussed in a same article (which is perhaps unwise). It is very significant that the Finnish Karelians do not share the same ethnic or national identity with East Karelians, despite of the often expressed feeling of being closely related with them. I cannot understand why you want to obscure this issue.--

example, the Finnish Language is called "idioma finés" in Spanish, and "idioma finlandés" is discouraged as wrong, because all the languages of Finland (Finnish, Swedish, Sámi, Karelian, etc) are "idiomas finlandeses" ("languages of Finland"). The same happens with people: someone of, for example, Swedish ethnic background who is a citizen of Finland is a "finlandés" but not a "finés", while someone of Finnish ethnic background who is a citizen of the USA is a "finés" but not a "finlandés". Looks like I was biased towards seeing the same differences happen in English, that's the reason I mentioned them in here, sorry for that. --

southeastern dialects of finnish, so I do not have any personal interest on this, and as far as I understand, in Finland there is no controversy about the facts told in the source I gave. The position of Karelian language in Finland has been recognized only recently, as was told in the text, but not all the inhabitants of the ceded areas spoke karelian languge, but, instead, in the western part of the area southeastern dialects of Finnish were spoken. And all this, as far as I can understand, is not matter of opiniin but, on the contrary, widely held and undisputed facts.--

As Finland had to cede parts of Karelia to the Soviet Union in World War II, evacuated Finnish Karelians settled also elsewhere in Finland. They traditionally speak Karelian. However owing to Karelian not being recognized as its own language by the Finnish government until recently, most Karelians had no choice but to learn Finnish and now speak mostly Finnish Karelian dialect. " 31: 312: 291: 1043:"About dialect and language: The dialect spoke by evacuated Finns are not same than language (or dialect) spoke by Karelians. This fact has never criticized by linguists.

information should not be restored if it is completely irrelevant. It is hardly possible to estimate the number of Finnish Karelians very exactly, as it is a diffuse sub-ethnic identity. The present-day Karelian districts in Finland have 300 000 inhabitants, but not all of them might designate themselves as Karelians - and people identifying themselves as Karelians live in all parts in Finland.--
1780:). What is usually understood to traditionally differentiate Karelians as a people and Karelians as a sub-group of Finns is that the former speak the Karelian language and are Orthodox Christians while the latter speak Finnish and are Lutheran Christians. The former also feel they are their own nation and the latter identify themselves as one of the sub-groups of Finns (among others like 366: 2003: 898:(nowadays most of the Russian Karelians speak Russian). Russian Karelians have not traditionally considered themselves to be Finns, but have cultivated their own identity instead. Attempts to obliterate the difference between two different kinds of Karelians are based either on misunderstanding and limited knowledge of Finnish history, or on some national-chauvinistic agenda. 448: 22: 172: 880:
ancient times. Also, I must protest agaist the "Flag of Karelians" in the article. This flag was the flag, designed by the national romantic artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, for the so-called Uhtua republic, more generally for East Karelia. It was used during the Finnish occupation of East Karelia by the occupants and that's about it.

Think of the difference between Finnic and Finns. A Karelian can be, but doesn't have to be, a Finn. While all Karelians are Finnic, only the western Karelians are Finns.

I mean this, what I wrote to Tuomas in my Talk page: Do You think that other Finns and evacuated Karelians are 'different peoples'? I, and official Finland and other world, do not think. So you want to say that Karelians living in East Karelia are Finns? Or that Finns are Karelians? I think _that_ is

We explain more, and state less. If you by "different types" mean that Savo people were transferred to Ladoga-Karelia, then write that with years and figures if you know.

Now I wonder if English did, too, use initailly Finn and Finnish as two different concepts because of Swedish or any other language influence and then started forgetting it as we did, until the terms became interchangeable; or there is another reason for the terms in English to be synonims... God, I

By the way, the whole Finn/Finnish thing looks like a bias on my side: we do have that differentiation in my first language (Spanish, where we use "finés" for things related to the Finn people and "finlandés" for things related to Finland, although people make mistakes with the words sometimes). For

The statement that "Russian Karelians" and "Finnish Karelians" are not of the same ethnic group is completely incorrect and insubstantial. Historical evidence suggests that after being divided in 1323, Karelians have kept their identity and ties until first half of 20th century on both sides of the

Just a little extra detail: I consistently see the use of the word "Finn" as an ethnic/"nation-state creation"/XIX century nationalism term, while the term "Finnish" is used as an administrative/current country/citizenship term. Maybe my interpretation of the terms is wrong, but if that's how they

James Minahan is very obviously discussing only the Orthodox East Karelians, and does not suggest in any way that the flag is connected to Lutheran Finnish Karelians. The flag should, can and will be removed from the infobox, as no source is presented for the uncorrect claim that it is a symbol of

The Karelian language is very closely related to the Finnish language, and particularly by Finnish linguists seen as a dialect of Finnish. The dialect of Karelians who are citizens of Finland is however uncontroversially considered a dialect of Finnish, since that's the standard language taught in

Let us make one point perfectly clear: The "Russian Karelians and "Finnish Karelians" are not the same ethnic group. The Russian Karelians spoke their own Karelian language (some of them still do) which was closely related to the eastern dialects of Finnish, but is neverthless a distinct language

I suppose a different language (Karelian dialect of Finnish vs. Karelian) and religion (Lutheranism vs. Russian Orthodoxy) are inconsequential as far as ethnicities are conserned in your book? Sure, all Karelians have the same origin, but a whole lot of water has passed under the keel since those

With virtually all ethnicities you can find some kind of influence back and forth with neighbouring groups. Hence members of a certain ethnicity that become isolated from eachother can often be considered to evolve into separate ethnicities. But again, it's not easy to say when such a process is

well, in general, the Karelians themselves use it as widely as possible as their own flag (despite the fact that there are not so many Karelians left because of not identifying themselves as Karelians in the census). By the way, many Russians also use the Soviet flag as their own. But this is a

After reading English websites, it seems that in English the ethnonym Karelians refer mainly to the (Orthodox) East Karelians, and does not generally include the concept of (Lutheran) Finnish Karelians. It would be advisable to reduce this article to discuss only the East Karelians and take the

Indeed, borders of ethnicity and nations are to a large degree arbitrary. Hence one must keep in mind in who's interest different definitions are. In accordance with many Russian sources, you can argue that those Karelians that came under Swedish and later Finnish rule were un-Kareliïzed if not

Well, in general, it's just a historical fact of how this flag appeared. Secondly, it was the Karelians themselves who chose this flag as the basis, so it would be unlikely that they would “покрутили пальцем у виска”. No one forcibly imposed it on the Karelians, so it's not up to us to decide.
1788:, etc). That is the situation simplified, of course. As for "real world" controversies, from what I've seen nowadays it's mostly about ethnic-group-Karelians not liking it if they are called Finns/Finnish, while Finnish Karelians feeling that their identity is strongly tied to being Finnish. -- 1731:
In this very discussion page I see the subject of the differentiation of Karelians to be controversial. Maybe it's just a couple of editors but it could be a "real world" controversy. I'd try to be sure of that first (not saying you aren't, just saying I'm not and I prefer not to vote about it

About 10% or so of the 400 000 or so evacuated were ethnic Karelians. So not all Finnish Karelians are part of the same "tribe". They share history with each other but you can't deny the effects of centuries of assimilation. I am an ethnic Karelian and I support the "two Karelians" concept.

Some misinformed person restored a nonsensical piece of disinformation into the article. The numbers on Finnish people evacuated from the ceded territories in 1939 and 1944 simply is not the same as the number of Karelians in Finland, as Finnish Karelia was not ceded completely. Referenced
