Talk:Volga Finns

The Russian Wikipedia has little material on the Volga Finns that is worth translating. --Ghirla^-трёп- 14:48, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Russian sources are welcome, to combine to that information already in hands. But a lot is still missing and every piece of not yet published information in English Wikipedia is worth of transliteration to English. I have collected summary of the information which was published of Volga Finns up to 1939 from Finnish sources and some interesting details was found.
