Karelian...
"Karelian is the Finnish dialect spoken in the Karelian Autonom-
ous Republic of the Soviet Union, along the Russo-Finnish
border.   A forested area of more than 50,000 lakes and glaciers,
Karelia was conquered by the Swedes in the 12th century.   It
remained Finnish until 1940, when it was ceded to Russia.   The
675,000 inhabitants are primarily Russian-speaking.   However,
the Finnish Karels still represent a significant minority, although
more than 400,000 Finns moved to Finland proper at the end of
World War II."
