Abstract

This article examines the notion of Karelia as a mythical place, an idea that has been crafted in the memories of the war-time migrants of Karelia, and, through the narratives told by the migrants, in the minds of their descendants, friends, and acquaintances. Further, this mythical idea of Karelia has been manifested in a kind of Finnish nationalism.
