  The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
The Izhorians had moved from their original habitat on the River Neva to the west by the 17th century at the latest (partly as a result of the pressure of Russian settlers).
On the basis of habitation, the Izhorian language is divided into 4 dialects: the Lower-Luga and Soikkola dialects which are spoken in the western part of Ingria, the Kheva dialect on the Izhorian Plateau, and the Oredezh or the Upper-Luga dialect which was spoken near the River Oredezh.
In the coastal villages the Izhorians took to carpentery in between fishing seasons, the Izhorians of Toldoga and Kargal were known as smiths and iron founders, and the East Izhorian villages were known for their weaving.

In 1989, eight hundred and twenty Izhorians could still be found in the western part of the Leningrad Province, between the Narva and Neva rivers; 302 of them still used their mother tongue.
There was a steady increase in the number of Izhorians (21,700 in 1897; 26,137 in 1926) until the mass repressions of the 1930s and after World War II, which annihilated most of them.
The Izhorians who had been evacuated to Finland and returned in 1945 were scattered in the provinces of Central Russia, while Ingria was settled with Russian newcomers.

Izhorian and Karelian are the closest kindred languages to the Eastern Finnish dialects.
By the middle of the 19th century the Votes and the Izhorians had already firmly shifted into the cultural sphere of the Russians, however, this was not the case with the Ingrians.
The oppression of the Russian language and milieu was neutralized by Lutheranism and the proximity of their mother country, Finland (as a grand duchy under the dominion of Russia from 1809--1917).

During 1984-1989 I interviewed women in the Estonian villages at the coast of the Black Sea in the Caucasus, in Estonia, Ingria and Mordvinia on the topic of birth traditions.
Placenta placed in a birch-bark shoe was buried under the floor also by the Russians (Fedianovich 1979: 81; Beliaieva 1982: 56; Zelenin 1927: 293), whereas the Izhorians and the Setu buried it under the floor wrapped in a clean piece of cloth (Mikkor 1999a: 984; Väisänen 1924: 202).

Ingria is located on a fairly large territory between the River Narva and the NW coast of Lake Ladoga (in present-day Leningradskaya Oblast in the Russian Federation).
Due to length of their residence there, Ingrian Finns are considered one of the native nations in this region as well as Russians, Izhorians, ans Votians.
Ethnically and linguistically, Izhorians and Votians belong to the Finno-Ugric group of the Uralic family as do Finns, but are distinct from Finns.

There are peoples with which no question about their significance and national self-esteem can even arise and there are peoples which must prove both to themselves and other peoples that they are worthy of attention.
There is a good Izhorian saying: "The crow must flap the wings to fly up on fence".
Izhorians are now also known to other nations (thousands of persons come to us both from villages and towns of Leningrad region and from Finland, Sweden, England, Holland and American Indians from the Appalachian Mountains have visited us for two years - they founded among the Izhorians their brothers of nous!).

At present they live in small areas extending from the Scandinavian peninsula to the Taimyr peninsula in Siberia and as far south as the Carpathian Basin (the Hungarians).
For political reasons they were not allowed to live in their homeland in north-western Russia and chose to settle nearby, in Estonia.
As a result of this policy, 18% of all the Ingrian Finns in the Soviet Union were living in Estonia in 1959 (as were 34% of the Izhorians) — altogether about 17 000 persons, which formed a relatively large minority group.

The Izhorians (about 800 people) live in Ingria (Ingermanland), which stretches westward from St. Petersburg as far as the Estonian border and northwards as far as the Karelian Isthmus between Lake Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland.
Strong assimilation first with the Izhorians and later with the Russians has led to the present situation in which the Votian language is on the brink of extinction.

In 1969, I went on an expedition with students from Tartu University and discovered for myself the Livonians, a small group of people whose language is similar to Estonian.
I was fortunate to hear the songs of the Votians and Izhorians performed live, which gave me a deep emotional charge.
Hundreds of thousands of people were driven from their homes and scattered over the plains of Russia and Siberia, and the small groups who managed to remain are dying out.

As a legacy of the important Fennoman Movement, Karelians are thought of as the "purest source" for Finnishness, particularly East Karelians — but religiously they (East Karelians) are Russian Orthodox while the Finns in Finland and Scandinavia are of Lutheran faith.
Also the Ingrian Finns are Lutherans, which may have contributed to their survival as an ethnos of their own despite harsh treatment in Stalinist and post-Stalinist Soviet Union, contrary to that of the Finnic Izhorians of Ingria.
Many of the Ingrian Finns descend from 17th century settlers arriving in Ingria from Savonia and Finnish Karelia, which may speak for including them among the ethnic Finns.

This required additional manpower, from all over the Soviet Union, mainly Russians and other Slavs, to replace the tens of thousands of Estonians who were deported to Siberia.
There were few Finno-Ugrians among the newcomers, except for Ingrian-Finns and Izhorians.

John Bennet's "All creatures now," a pastoral paean to Oriana (Queen Elizabeth I) and Hans Leo Hassler's "Tanzen und springen," set to a galliard rhythm, both come from the early 17th century.
The living Estonian composer Veljo Tormis is represented by "dance songs" from his Ingrian Evenings, haunting folk songs of the Izhorians of Ingria--sometimes known as Karelia--set to lively rhythms (and sung mostly in English because the singers were sweating bullets over the Votian dialect).
The 17 Ariose Singers have developed an enthusiastic following, not least for their adventurous programming.
