	Many Karelias — Virtual Finland
		At that time the Karelians lived scattered across a broad area stretching from the southeast corner of present-day Finland eastwards to the Karelian isthmus, and in the north from the northern edge of Lake Ladoga to Lake Onega and on to the shores of the White Sea.
		North Karelian attempts to strengthen the sense of a Karelian identity have drawn on the Orthodox faith and the traditions of Border Karelia just across the border to the east, while South Karelia has seen itself as heir to the economic and cultural heritage of Viipuri and its hinterland.
		Karelian settlement in pre-revolutionary Russian Karelia was divided between the provinces of Archangel in the north and Olonets in the south.

		The Karelian Bear Dog is primarily used to hunt bear and elk when they are available, although they have also been used to hunt smaller animals when big game was scarce.
		The Karelian Bear Dog is a medium-sized, sturdily-built, Spitz-type dog, with a triangle-shaped head, prick ears, and a harsh, straight, fl or fl and white coat of medium length.
		Karelians are normally aggressive with other dogs, particularly in their own territory, so they do not work well in a pack.

		Karelian Bear Dog training is not so much a matter of memorization of an exercise (retrievers retrieving or border collies shepherding) or the tendency to repeat patterns after positive reinforcement techniques.
		However, Karelians are brave and primitive, designed by survival, so they are perfectly able to hunt silently, singly, and communicate with their master noiselessly.
		While the Karelians might not be a household word associated with avalanche work, at least one member of their breed, Grizzly, shows great promise-after just one brief session in the snow at Mammoth.

	Karelian
		Later this year it will be six decades since the first time that the Karelians were forced, in autumn 1939, to leave the districts that had been their home for thousands of years.
		I know that in recent times especially the Karelians have had much room in their hearts for those thousands of Kosovars who have had to leave their home districts and seek sanctuary from the war as homeless refugees.
		Karelian culture must be seen as a question of identity, as an ability to feel a sense of affinity through the same tradition and the same cultural heritage.

	History of Karelia and Helulia village
		The name "Korela" has originated, possibly, from "Koru ela" ("she ate bark" in Russian) - Karelian soil is very rocky and it was extremely difficult to cultivate wheat there, therefore Karelians very often added powdered tree bark to flour when making bread, and that, probably, contributed to the formation of such a name.
		Karelians were engaged in "slash-and-burn" agriculture - they picked a site, suitable for cultivation, in the forest, chopped down the trees there and piled them up on the cleared territory.
		In 1187 Karelians together with the Novgorod army took a raid at the large Swedish city Sigtuna (the predecessor of modern Stockholm).

		In 1890, Jean Sibelius was converted to Karelianism by the music of Robert Kajanus.

	HISTORY
		During the spring, their repertoire began to include songs in Karelian, so it seemed only appropriate to call the band Burlakat, a Karelian word that means "vagabonds" - a good expression of the band's spirit.
		The new CD, Magie, contained even more songs in Karelian, as well as songs composed by the various members of the band, but the arrangements were still mostly the result of the combined efforts of all the band members.
		In the autumn of 2004 Burlakat celebrated its 10th anniversary with a tour of Finland, and in the spring of 2005 the band went on a tour of Germany.

	Introduction
		These seemingly minor Viena villages have played a significant role in Finnish cultural history, for it was a poem recorded by Daniel Europaeus in Hietajärvi that prompted Elias Lönnrot to change the structure of the Kalevala.
		Rimpi, for its part, contributed significantly to the birth of Karelianism, an artistic movement that exerted a profound influence in many spheres of artistic endeavor in Finland in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
		Today the bardic villages are defined as those villages in Viena which still exist or are scheduled for revitalization, and which have been sources of the poetry in the Kalevala and the Kanteletar or contributed to the birth of Karelianism.

	The Decades of Realism and National Roma... : National Romantic Karelianism
		There the age of the Kalevala lives on in everyday chores, there a farmer's wife might recite spells in Kalevala metre while driving the cattle out to pasture.
		Karelianism was the most important manifestation of National Romanticism in Finland.
		The Kalevala, for which the Finland of the 1860s and R.W. Ekman had unsuccesfully tried to produce illustrations, became a deep source of inspiration for the artists of the 1890s.

	Akonlahti
		The villages on the shores of Lake Kiitehenjärvi have played a crucial role in both the creation of the Kalevala and the rise of Karelianism.
		Blomstedt and Sucksdorff were architects who meticulously documented the Karelian building tradition and later published their work as a book which significantly influenced the rise of the National Romantic School in Finnish architecture.
		The villages of Akonlahti were the only places in Viena besides Luvajärvi that Blomstedt and Sucksdorff visited on their trip, as they continued on from there to North Aunus.

		The 25 years of Urho Kekkonen's presidency (1956-81) were a clever balancing act: Kekkonen kept a tight grip on domestic power, and managed to strengthen ties with Scandinavian siblings without alienating the big huggy bear to the east.
		Sibelius and the nationalistic painter Akseli Gallén-Kallela fell under the spell of Karelianism, a movement going back to the folk songs Elias Lönnrot compiled for the national epic, the Kalevala in the 1830s.
		It is closely related to Estonian and Karelian, and has common origins with Samoyed and the languages spoken in the Volga basin.
