Dotted lines show the regions ceded to the Soviet Union (Ceded Karelia (CKA), Petsamo, and Salla) after World War II. Today these three regions are part of Russia. Purple arrows show the main patterns how evacuees from CKA were relocated to other parts of Finland. Diamonds mark the four largest metropolitan areas in Finland: Helsinki, Turku, Tampere and Oulu.
