Summary:The article shows the meanders of Bolshevik policy towards Karelia, a region on the Soviet-Finnish border: from the Karelian Worker’s Commune, through the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to the Karelian Soviet Socialist Republic. This process was shown against the background of the then Soviet Center's policy towards small nations in northwestern Russia. Moscow's actions resulted in the Russification of the local Finno-Ugric people, and to the economic devastation of the Republic.
