Veps schools were closed, textbooks were burned, teachers were put in prison, and some ethnic intellectuals even lost their lives as a result of their nationality (among them a Veps ethnographer, Stepan Makaryev).
In 1989, a Veps Cultural Society was formed, with the aim of rekindling a Veps' sense of identity, and increasing the Veps' respect for their language, history and culture.
The Veps were discovered for academia by A. Sjögren in 1824, but it took decades before a distinct picture could be formed of the habitation and population of the Veps.

Veps, inhabitants of the southern shore of the Onega lake
The Veps are a Finno-Ugric minority, settled mainly on the southern coast of the Onega lake.
While in practice Veps became a ‘small-numbered people’, they were not included in the official list of ‘small-numbered people of the north’ (applied to groups residing in the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation) and thus did not benefit for the special allocations granted to this category.

 eMedicine - Clinical Utility of Evoked Potentials : Article by Leslie Huszar, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The usual VEPs are evoked by checkerboard stimulation and, because cells of the visual cortex are maximally sensitive to movement at the edges, a pattern-shift method is used with a frequency of 1-2 Hz.
The initial positive waves of VEP were divided into 2 components—(1) early component with approximate peak latency of 70-90 ms and (2) late component with approximate peak latency of 100-120 ms.
To establish whether pattern-reversal VEP could be standardized adequately for use as a measure in multicenter therapeutic trials for optic neuropathy or multiple sclerosis (MS), stimulus and recording variables were equated at 4 centers; pattern-reversal VEPs were recorded from 64 healthy subjects and 15 patients with resolved optic neuritis.

Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are computer averaged brain-wave responses to visual stimuli which may be performed in a variety of clinical situations as an objective measure of visual function.
VEPs may be performed in their own right or in conjunction with electro-retinograms.
The two main categories of VEPs are those generated by a patterned stimulus such as a fl and white checkerboard pattern (PVEP) and those generated by a diffuse flash of light (FVEP) such as from stroboscopes and clusters of LEDs.
