Viipurilainen musiikkielämä Savonlinnassa

2021

This text examines musical relations between Savonlinna and Vyborg, as well as the hobby of music amongst the Karelian migrants in Savonlinna. The hobby of music united evacuees from Vyborg after the wars. This was influenced by pre-war contacts that facilitated their adaptation to Savonlinna. The Roma population with a Karelian background was also part of this musical tradition, but there is still little research on this topic. peerReviewed

Arno Tuurna (1894–1976, until 1935 Arno Thuneberg) was a key influencer of Karelian political and cultural life from the 1930s until the 1970s.

From these positions he tirelessly emphasised the importance of working for the cause of Kareliness in general, and the importance of cherishing the memory of Vyborg in particular. peerReviewed

Haarautunut evakkotie : viipurilaisten organisaatioiden uudet kotipaikat

2021

The text examines the relocation of ceded Vyborg’s administrative, social and cultural institutions in the rest of Finland. The heritage of the city was fragmented over a large area because the remaining part of Karelia did not have a city large enough to accommodate the Vyborgian facilities. In this respect, the competition between the fairly strong regional centres slowed down the urban development of the whole of Eastern Finland. peerReviewed
