Историк Ирина Такала о сталинских репрессиях в Карелии.
В Карелии фактически не было большевиков, не было национальной интеллигенции, и советские власти приняли предложение по разрешению так называемого карельского вопроса одного из красных финнов — Эдварда Гюлинга, который считал, что для того чтобы Финляндия перестала претендовать на Восточную Карелию, необходимо дать карелам автономию. Создание республики во многом обуславливалось военно-стратегическими и внешнеполитическими факторами: Карельская трудовая коммуна — с 1923 года Карельская АССР — должна была, по замыслам Москвы и красных финнов, стать некоей буферной зоной, проводником советского влияния на Финляндию и Скандинавию.
