"Anthem of the Republic of Karelia" -English Translation: Homeland - Karelia! Our ancient beautiful land. Native peoples are united, Karelia! (???) Homeland - Karelia! Destiny with all eternal life. Let's come together as one - Karelia! (???) Homeland - Karelia! Runes and songs are alive. The sunrise is seen from here, Karelia! The sunrise is seen, Karelia!
I am a native Muscovite. I really love and am interested in Karelia. I'm slowly trying to learn Karelian. A very beautiful language, it’s a pity that it is now disappearing. Love for Karelia from Moscow
Maybe you have finnic roots? Finnic ppl lived also in Moscow area back in history (before Russia even existed). Finno-Ugric ppl are very old ppl who used to live widely in the area called Russia today. Finns are not Slavic, but finnic people were people who lived in Russia, also Siperia. Its our ancient land till moscovites after mongols started to conquer..
@@sparrow0680 sir, I am a Muscovite. And this means that I am Russian. Imagine, it turns out that Russians may want to preserve regional culture. What have you come to, if it doesn’t fit in your head that if a person is Russian, this doesn’t say anything about his views. I have a friend, he is a Komi, but at the same time a Putinist. Nationality does not determine your views. I have NO relation to Finns or Karelians. I just admire their culture and language. If you think that all Russians are assholes, invaders and bastards, you should see a psychiatrist.
This is the Karelian National Anthem derived from Soviet times I think, and still in current use in the pretended, so-called "Republic of Karelia". It has co-opted the Finnish folk song "Karjalan kunnailla" - between the choruses, to give it some legitimacy, and a kind of ethno-credibility, whilst Russia does its best to discourage Karelian culture and does little to encourage take-up of the language.
Unnecessary paragraph It's a Karelian song used as the Karelian anthem, and Russia doesn't discourage using the Karelian language, people would just rather speak Russian
@@redacted7060no, the russian authorities are actively discouraging the Karelian language specifically. Karelia is the only russian republic where the indeginous language doesn't have an official status. Many Karelians would definitely want to speak it more but when all the schooling and public events have to be in Russian, it just makes Karelian slowly dissappear. It's sad that Karelian culture and heritage is better off in 2 small regions of Finland (North Karelia and South Karelia) than in the comparably massive "Republic" of "Karelia"
@@ducksareurlords3782 Then, why most of the trafic signals are both written in Russian and Bepsian language, the later with latin script, rather than cyrillic?
@@miqueasvalentinhernandez3998 because Vepsian is a separate language that gets more recognision from the authorities than Karelian. It's a simple fact that Russian authorities don't care about the Karelian language. Russian Karelian is the only Republic within Russia that doesn't have the indigenous language as an official language.
@@ducksareurlords3782 Sometimes I wonder if the Karelian authorities should not have chosen to transliterate standard Finnish into the Cyrillic alphabet in the 80s/90s to have at least one official language of the indigenous peoples in the Republic, it would at least be on par with the other Republics of the country, after all not even Tarataristan managed to make Tatar in Latin official as an official language and unfortunately Karelia has 3 languages that are treated as dialects (I know that to this day the Ludic spoken in Kondopoga, Petrozavodsk, Pryazhinsky is very little studied) which makes choosing an official language even more difficult but the situation is critical.
