Why are Karelians so different?

If you look carefully at the data of the Federal State Statistics Service, according to the results of the 2002 census, 93,344 Karelians live in Russia. The overwhelming majority of them, 65, 651, or 70.3%, are in Karelia. However, not only: 2057 people – on the border of Karelia in the Leningrad region.

And nothing is surprising here – East and North Ladoga history has historically been the area where the Karelians have settled for centuries. However, in the Tarwar region north of the Upper Volga, where there are now 146333 people (15..7%), they appeared unintentionally.

For many centuries, it so happened that the Karelians were between the Russian hammer and the Swedish Avil. In Borderland. Which often went from hand to hand. And it was under Mr. Velky Novoger, the Swedish crown then returned to the hands of Moscow’s sovereigns. In 16117, under the Stalbovsky Peace Treaty, the southern and eastern parts of Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland were annexed by Sweden. A vigorous campaign was launched in these regions to force the people to convert to the Protestant faith.

For this reason, as well as the prohibited taxes, about 30,000 people fled to the land of Bezetsky Varch, emptied by hunger and epidemics during the conflict. Thus a separate group of Upper Volga (Tarver) Karelians was formed. Based on some common features, some researchers have referred to small groups living somewhat west in similar situations and at the same time as the source of the Volga, Valdai (or Novgorod), the source of the Tikhvin Karelians.

I can’t say anything about Tower, Tikhvin of Valdai. By no means do I want to convey that I recommend the mother be inactive. But he has the names of the same people in that Republic, about his own family. Perhaps possible in more detail.

But why the Karelian Republic? After all, in reality, it Karelians out of a population of 720 million – a little over nine percent. And their share of the total population of Karelia is steadily declining. If 42.3% of the inhabitants of the province of Olonets were Karelians in 1897, the Karelian Labor Commune in 1936 – 38.2, and the Karelian-Finnish SSR in 1940 – already 23.3%.

From here, the legs are clearly growing! The people’s government of the Democratic Republic of Finland, formed by the Red Army on December 1, 1939, in Terrizoki, was joined elsewhere? The Finns themselves have become utterly useless, but the sixteenth Union Republic appeared in the friendly family of the Soviet people.

And now we are all in Kerala. While it may even be in the minority, it seems to be here, its own, native, homosexual… only the name is actually one. Even here, there are different Karelians. Different.

Suppose you listen to the opinions of our scientists. In that case, the whole Karelian ethnic group of the Republic can be divided into three large groups.

The first is the kyaraliyana libhabhiksa , olonetasa the border ladogaya sudr bhabe are living. Well, with the exception of the village of Mikhailovsky, it is closer to Podporojaya, already in the Lodenopolsky district of the Leningrad region, than to Olonets. However, the Olonets region is the only Republic where the Karelians themselves are in the majority: 63%, 16,402. In addition to Olonetsky, small and fairly large groups of Karelians live in only two of the 16 regions of the Republic – Priyazinski (7615) and Kalevalsky (3820).

The center of the Karelians in the Suta Onga region – the people. In addition to the villages of the region (Svetozaro, Priyaja, Bidana), people live partly in the village of Olonetsky in Mikhailovsky and several villages in several villages the Kandopoga region (Spaskaya Bay, Yurkostrov, Usuna).

And the third group is the Northern (or the White Sea) Karelians, who settled permanently to the west of the Medveghegarsky (Padan or Segozaro Karelians), Kalevala (Ukhta), and Lukzhsky (Kasteng) regions.

Livvi in Karelia – 40 thousand, people – 5 and indeed Karelians – 20 people.

These groups are separated by linguistic features and our domestic linguists in separate dialects. They are responsible for Finnish and most Western-independent languages. And, perhaps, it is more accurate. Because if we talk about dialects, how do we name the many dialects inside each of them? Among the Livivics, for example, one can distinguish between the dialects of Vidlitzky, Ripushkalsky, Nekkulsky, Kotkayerv, and the equivalent. It does not count as “dead” Siamojarski and Vodlozarski. The story of the people who speak the dialects of Kandopoga, Yagin, and Mikhail is the same.

So, perhaps – language. Well, like the Russians, the Ukrainians, and the Belarusians. Yes, there is a basis for this. However, each of them has its own characteristics, which are very difficult for a neighbor to understand. Even the name of the same dish… here I was once talking about how the Carleans cooked fish soup. So the people and the North Karelians call it Kalarakka (Kalarokka) and the Livivians – Limi (Litmi).

According to the prevailing hypothesis, the dialect of Ludovicovsky (Let’s not bother domestic philologists) was formed on a medieval Karelian basis under the significant influence of Vepsiyan, belonging to the Fino-Ugric language family. The Livovic language, in addition to the general base, like the Ludovic, has a significant amount of amounts taken from the Vepos language. However, there is also a level of West Baltic vocabulary that is missing in other Karelian languages. Well, Karelians aptly, the Finnish linguistic variants are quite significant. By these linguistic features, you can probably conclude that the Karelians are so different. After all, they are simply distinguished by different names for the same dish. Different ways to cook them. No need to go too far. The same ear, cooked north of Karelia, will differ in taste and appearance from its South Karelia sister.

Different regions, excellent climatic conditions, other neighbors, and all in all, the Karelians take the separation issue. And they live – in different ways. If the Livivics or the people of the hut had Russian stoves, there must have been pebbles in every stove in the north. The furnace is an extra magnet located in a special niche on the side of the mouth and serves both for cooking and to illuminate the dwelling.

But almost all Karelians have the same “cockroach.” For example, a jawbone can still be seen at the entrances to many Karelian homes today. Charm. Although like the Karelians for centuries – orthodox.
