WP Former Countries - Things to do:

How about merging the articles Karelo-Finnish SSR and Karelia (republic)? Both are essentially about the same entity. Mikkalai 00:29, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)

... and rename to Republic of Karelia? Mikkalai 00:31, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
that's kind of silly, same as merging all of the SSR pages with the current nation states.

[edit] Karelians and Finns as minority

Dear colleagues, regarding "Karelians and Finns were always a minority of around 10% in the republic - at the time, the only Soviet Republic whose titular nation was a minority in its own republic" - as much as I know this happened, because population en masse was running to Finland away from the territory "acquired" (occupied) by USSR. Soon the area was deserted of people, so the colonists from the USSR had to be brought in, which finally led to cancellation of the "Republic" status. I guess this would have to be mentioned in order for readers to understend the joke quoeted in article. I can't at the moment provide links to sources, which would be necessary, since this is encyclopedia. Can someone, who knows more about this, please, make the amendment?

The Finnish Karelians were evacuated before the territory was given over to Soviets. This requirement was stipulated in the Peace treaties. (Very few would have wanted to stay anyway.) -- Petri Krohn 11:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motto

"Kõigi maade proletaarlased, ühinege!" is Estonian, not Finnish, and certainly wasn't the motto of KFSSR. Fixed it into a more correct form. :) Darkness357 14:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
