In 1920, Lenin authorised a plan to transform Karelia, a Russian
territory adjacent to Finland, into a showcase Soviet autonomous
region, to show what could be achieved by socialist nationalities
policy and economic planning, and to encourage other countries to
follow this example. However, Stalin's accession to power brought a
change of policy towards the periphery - the encouragement of local
autonomy which had been a key part of Karelia's model development
was reversed, the state border was sealed to the outside world, and
large parts of the republic's territory were given over to Gulag
labour camps controlled by the NKVD, the precursor of the KGB. This
book traces the evolution of Soviet Karelia in the early Soviet
period, discussing amongst other things how political relations
between Moscow and the regional leadership changed over time; the
nature of its spatial, economic and demographic development; and
the origins of the massive repressions launched in 1937 against the
local population.
