  Department of Ethnology presents a new book:
Border and people. Memories of Soviet migrants of North Ladoga region and Karelian isthmus. St.Petersburg, European University at St.Petersburg publishers, 2005. 480 p. (“Studia Ethnologica” series). History of international relations always has a flip side: along with the history of states, negotiations on the top level determine the life course of individual people whose “voice” is rarely heard. Borderlines diligently mapped by politicians divide not only territories, but the life time of those who live on them. Alteration of borderlines between USSR and Finland after WWII resulted in the complete change of population in North Ladoga region and Karelian isthmus: Finnish population left their homeland, giving space to Soviet migrants. What this migration to Karelia meant for its new inhabitants? What place does their new motherland occupy in their life? How did their new life developed on the new territory? One can not find answers to these questions in official reports. Authors of the collection of articles “Border and people” invite you to participate in the joint search of answers by listening to migrants’ memoirs.
