metadata.value: The article is devoted to the research of an understudied subject in Russian historiography: the socalled
  “Karelian question” in the national policy of the Finnish occupational authorities on the occupied
  territory of Karelia from 1941 to 1944. The author shows the policy had deep roots running
  from 1918 to the beginning of the 1920s during the civil war and foreign military intervention on
  the territory of Karelia. Members of Karelian academic society were its instigators. The main idea of
  the occupational policy of the Finnish authorities in 1941–1944 was that only Karelians and other
  Finno-Ugrian peoples were Karelian indigenous people, and the Russians living on that territory were
  settled there there forcibly. Therefore, they must be expelled from Karelia to other regions of the Soviet Union that had been captured by the Germans. Based on an analysis of concrete historical facts, the
  article reveals forms and methods of the Finnish occupational administration’s work on education of
  Karelians and Veps of Soviet Karelia during the period of the republic’s occupation in the spirit of “the
  union with Great Finland”. Newspapers, radio and Finnish national holidays played a major role in
  that process. A special part of the article is also devoted to an illustration of the works of the Finnish
  national schools, created for the pupils of the Finno-Ugrian nationalities of Karelia in 1941–1944. The
  main aim of pupils’ education was an advocacy of the idea of “Great Finland” including the territory of
  Eastern Karelia. The article notes that the national policy of the Finnish occupational regime in Karelia
  from 1941 to 1944 which aimed at solving “the Karelian question” by connection of Karelia to Finland
  didn’t bring the desired results. The Finnish authorities didn’t manage to force a wedge between Russian
  and Finno-Ugrian peoples and carry over Soviet Karelians, Veps and Finns. Moreover, those who
  were supposed to be released from Russian captivity“, upheld independence of their country along
  with Russian and other peoples of the Soviet Union with the force of arms. Refs 25.
