	Continuation War
		Finland took no part in the initial German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, since the Finnish government did not wish to appear as the aggressor; the popular support for such a move was deemed insufficient, and international relations would have suffered in vain.
		In December 1941, the Finnish advance had reached the outskirts of Leningrad and the River Svir (which connects the southern ends of Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega and marks the southern border of East Karelia).
		Finnish Jews served in the Finnish army, and Jews were not only tolerated in Finland[1], but most Jewish refugees also were granted asylum (less than 20 of the more than 500 refugees were handed over to the Nazis).

	Many Karelias — Virtual Finland
		During the period of the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland, the economic life of Finnish Karelia was largely oriented towards St Petersburg, the economy of the isthmus in particular being effectively dependent on the Russian capital.
		The predominantly agricultural and forestry-based economy of North Karelia went through dramatic restructuring in the 1960s and 1970s in particular, and the region suffered a considerable drain of population to the urban centres in the south of the country and across the Gulf of Bothnia in Sweden.
		Karelian settlement in pre-revolutionary Russian Karelia was divided between the provinces of Archangel in the north and Olonets in the south.

	The Mick Sinclair Archive: Karelia
		Karelia is barely known in the West, probably because it no longer exists as a country but is a region split almost equally between Finland and the Soviet Union.
		The most recent change, after World War II (Russian presence in Karelia was a prime cause of non-Nazi Finland entering the war on the German side), saw the entire eastern section of Karelia being ceded to the Soviet Union and its population fleeing almost en masse behind the new Finnish border.
		Crossing directly into Soviet Karelia from Finland is likely to become possible this year, largely through the efforts of Kuhmon Kulttuurikornitsa (roughly, a Karelian culture centre) which is based in Kuhmo, in Finland, and intent on promoting the notion of Karelia as a region regardless of the national and ideological boundaries imposed upon it.

	Gylling in SU
		Nonetheless the haunting expression reveals how difficult was the transition for her from wife of prominent Finnish politician and intellectual to wife of a Soviet regional leader.
		Gylling's article of 1925 on his plans for the future development of Karelia reveals his conception of Karelia as a distinctive region of the Soviet Union, geographically, geologically and economically bound to the Finno-Scandinavian plateau of which it was an integral part.
		For Gylling, Karelia's proximity to Finland and its tradition as the place where the events of the Finnish national epoch, The Kalevala, had occurred were far more significant than Karelia's position as a constituent part of the Soviet Union.
