My grandmother was a young teen when she and her family fled from Karelia. She often talked about Karelia, and how they had to leave it all behind. She built a good life though, and lived till 90.

@@jroutasula5250 Hardly anybody as the Crimean population is almost entirely of Russian ethnicity. Furthermore, the "green men" were actually Ukrainian soldier of that same ethnicity that rebelled against Ukrainian ultra right nationalists. As an autonomous region of Ukraine, Crimean local government even sent a delegation to Moscow asking for help from the Russian federation to push out all Ukrainian forces from Crimea.

I'm a 37 years old Finnish guy, I have no relatives or ties to Karelia personally, except I do heavily feel towards those bretherin who do and have lived there. I'm currently crying so bad.

[@FaithReact]

Oh I am so sorry

[@WandaII]

@@FaithReact Thank you, those were really hard times for us. The memories, scars and the collective trauma live on in us from generation to generation. This is the main reason for our scaled up (in comparison to population size) military, high level of willingness to defend our country and will to aid those who are being targeted by the red menace next door.

If I remember right Veikko Lavi was traveling with his friend to consert there he was performer! And they buss his friend started tell story about evacuees and what happened to them! And yes this is true story! But my favourite from this song is when rescue workers sing this!

[@me2me-g5f]

Evakon laulu is a musical piece composed and written by Veikko Lavi, which tells about the wartime evacuation journey of a Karelian emigrant to Finland, from Karelia towards the west, from the point of view of a small child. The song begins with the words "In the evening when my mother covered me to sleep, I had no idea what the morning would bring...". The song is especially well known as a recording by Anneli Saaristo from 1985. The recording was arranged by Upi Sorvali. The touching song has become a significant interpreter of emotions among people of Karelian descent, along with the folk song "Karjalan kunnailla". The theme for the song was given to Lavi by his long-time accompanist Pertti Husu, who once told Lavi his evacuee story on a concert trip. "Evako's song" was first performed in Pori by Veikko Tuomi, but it became known as Anneli Saaristo's version. During the recording of the song, Saaristo had a hard time holding back her tears. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goLdZqFjobR-isk

[@jonnakatriina]

one of the most beautiful songs ever❤my grandmother was from Karelia and luckily she was able to be evacuated, our family exists, and we continue to do so

[@FaithReact]

Aww 🥰

[@jk8557]

I'm grandson of Karelian but when my grandmother's family had to leave they were unable to leave on time and were captured by Soviet soldiers and was taken to prison camp in Russia. Luckily nobody in my family died there even though food was scarce and they had to work hard every day. In 1990s when Soviet Union collapsed my grandmother visited Russia and went to look her family's farm there was nothing but ruins of the house left.

[@FaithReact]

So 😞

[@klauskuusela8486]

My grandmother was 13 when Her family has to leave (from Sortavala area). I don't know but some how this song "hits" very deep level. Actually I have same kind of feeling with movie Unknown soldier (version 2017) when there was family that has to leave home and move inland (side story of movie).

[@SauLi1984]

Same as me. My mother side is from Karelia. I'm 50% karelian and 50% Päijänne Tavastia! Proud of that!

[@Finkele1]

From my mother side, her parents had to evacuate. they did ok with small farm what government gave to them. Raised 5 kids who are more or less ok but time being poor. I don't know much of it personally but must have been hard.

[@FaithReact]

So sad

[@Joonatan75]

All ways when I hear this song I cry, but the Karelians were Finns and the Soviet Union was able to take over the Karelia regions, it needs to be said that they were welcomed as best they could.

My gran parents needed to leave Karelia. Russia is/was to blame.. as for today in Ukraine... Stalin == Putin

[@Velgar_Grim]

My grandmother told me once how they had lived in Karelia, under the threat of war. Her husband had left to fight, but they were still in relative safe-zone. And they had so gotten used to the tumult of artillery, that when my grandmother one day saw the shells explode on their neighbour's field, she rushed inside, where her mother-in-law simply asked her... "What berries do you want to put in the pie?" That pie never got made, but they managed to escape and she lived to be 97 years old, leaving behind a life well lived despite losses, sorrow and grief. I try to emulate hers, my granfather's and my mother's parents resilience and sisu in every fall I face. Sure, I complain, like I believe they did too when they had the chance, but life goes on all the way until it doesn't. And that day will come, eventually to everyone, but it's no reason not to live until then. No matter what.
