Book excerpt: In 1920, Lenin authorised a plan to transform Karelia, a Russian territory adjacent to Finland, into a showcase Soviet autonomous region, to show what could be achieved by socialist nationalities policy and economic planning, and to encourage other countries to follow this example. However, Stalin’s accession to power brought a change of policy towards the periphery - the encouragement of local autonomy which had been a key part of Karelia’s model development was reversed, the state border was sealed to the outside world, and large parts of the republic's territory were given over to Gulag labour camps controlled by the NKVD, the precursor of the KGB. This book traces the evolution of Soviet Karelia in the early Soviet period, discussing amongst other things how political relations between Moscow and the regional leadership changed over time; the nature of its spatial, economic and demographic development; and the origins of the massive repressions launched in 1937 against the local population.

Download or read book Youth in a Changing Karelia written by Vesa Puuronen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: The book is aimed at uncovering certain features of the future of Karelia, which is partly situated in Russia and Finland. The authors believe that this can be done by studying in depth the opinions, values, norms, beliefs, fears and hopes of young people living in two neighbouring but profoundly different societies: Russia and Finland. Young people are constructing these societies in the 20th century. The book is based on a comparative research project, financed by the Academy of Finland, which was carried out during 1995-1997 by an international, inter-disciplinary research group. The novelty of the book is based on the use of different research methods and theoretical starting points. One of the crucial questions raised by the book concerns the applicability of Western theories in research into Russian society and people. The analysis shows that many of the concepts applied frequently in Western social sciences do not apply in research relating to Russian specific culture. The book proposes that more attention should be paid to the challenges of comparative research.

Book excerpt: Karelia, a U.S.S.R. republic bordering Finland, was hailed as the "workers' paradise" in the 1930s. In 1934, Lauri and Sylvi Hokkanen, along with thousands of other Finns from the United States and Canada, were recruited by the Russians to come to Karelia, bringing with them American technology and thought. But the Stalin purges of 1937 and 1938 cost many of these immigrants their lives. Lauri and Sylvi escaped, returned to the United States and, quietly, resumed their lives, keeping their experiences hidden out of fear.
