ProKarelia is a Finnish irredentist group that works for the return to Finland of Finnish Karelia, Petsamo, Salla and some islands in Gulf of Finland ceded to the Soviet Union in past treaties in Moscow and Paris (See Karelian question in Finnish politics).[1] As a preliminary goal the group hopes to overturn the articles of the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947 and remove Finnish responsibility in starting the Continuation War.[1]
ProKarelia strives to make the Karelian question better known. ProKarelia's ideas do not include aggressive actions. The association does not participate in demonstrations.
ProKarelia publishes Internet pages in eight languages. It mails articles to decision-makers all over the world. ProKarelia also publishes the Karelia Klubi journal four times a year.
ProKarelia's spokepersons are Heikki A. Reenpää and Antero Siljola. Supporters include many professors, generals and researchers.
Soviet Story
In the spring of 2009 ProKarelia organized a series of agitation events with local member organisations of the National Defence Training Association of Finland. The events demanded the overturning of the criminal convictions by the war responsibility trials in Finland. As part of the program the "documentary film" Soviet Story was shown.[2][3] The event in Tampere sparked a protest demonstration by the Finnish Anti-Fascist Committee.[3][4] A criminal complaint by members of the anti-Fascist Committee[5] has lead to a criminal investigation on suspicion of incitement to ethnic or racial hatred.[6][7][8]
