In the Abyss of Civil War: Karelians in Search of Survival Strategies. 1917–1922
19.99 €
The book is devoted to the events of the civil war that unfolded in the territory of Russian Karelia. In 1918-1922 the Karelian regions were in the focus of confrontation between various military and political forces: units of the Red Army and the White Northern Government, units of the Entente and the Red Finns, Karelian detachments and Finnish volunteer units fought here. Considerable attention is paid to the role of the young Finnish state and a group of Finnish activists who inspired three volunteer campaigns in Karelia. The monograph centers on the Karelian peasantry. Using materials from Finnish archives unknown to Russian readers, the authors analyze the political psychology of the Karelian peasant, who found himself in the center of a fierce military confrontation, and show the most striking manifestations of peasant strategies. For the first time the reader has the opportunity to familiarize himself with reports and memoirs of Finnish volunteers, interviews and memoirs of Karelian peasants - participants of the events - and Finnish politicians, materials of the Finnish General Staff and other unique documents. The monograph pays special attention to such still understudied manifestations of peasant activism as the Karelian Regiment and the Provisional Committee of White Sea Karelia, which headed the Karelian quasi-state formation in the northwest of the region. Separate chapters are devoted to the creation of the Karelian Labor Commune and the Karelian Uprising, which was the last attempt to create an independent, small-Shevik Karelian nation-state.
