Karelian Brotherhood

Karelian Brotherhood (Finnish: Karjalan veljeskunta, Russian: Карельское братство) was an organization founded in 1907 as a Russian Orthodox society. The goal of the organisation was to russify Karelias orthodox population.[1] It had close ties to Russian nationalists in the State Duma.[2]

The chief of the organization was Bishop Cyprian (Shnitnikov) [ru] of Serdobol[3] Karjalan veljeskunta was dissolved when Finland obtained its independence in 1917.
