Tver Karelia
Tver Karelia (Karelian, Tver dialect: Tverin Kariela; Karelian, standard: Tverin Karjala; Russian: Тверска́я Каре́лия, romanized: Tverskaya Kareliya) is the area inside the Tver Oblast that is inhabited by Karelians.
Refugees from the Korelsky uyezd of the Vodskaya pyatina settled on the palace (state) lands of the Upper Bezhetsk and other parts of the Bezhetskaya pyatina, which were deserted due to the turmoil and oppression of the Time of Troubles; historically, these territories made up Tver Karelia. By the beginning of the 20th century, the largest number of Tver Karelians lived in Bezhetsky, Vesyegonsky, Vyshnevolotsky, Novotorzhsky, partly in Tversky, Zubtsovsky, Kashinsky uyezds. According to the 1926 census, the Tver Karelians numbered 140,567 people, of which more than 95% spoke the Karelian language.
In 1930, according to the statistical collection of the Moscow Oblast Executive Committee (at that time the eastern part of the former Tver province was part of the Moscow region), Karelians lived in the following districts:
In total, there were 150,617 Karelians in the region in 1930.
According to the censuses in the Kalinin region, there were these many Karelians:
According to the 2002 census, there were 14,633 Tver Karelians in the Tver oblast.
The resettlement of the Karelians to the Tver land was carried out by the Moscow government in an organized manner, the places intended for the settlement of the Karelians were examined in advance, it was indicated how many families could be settled. The Karelians settled mainly in the wastelands (that is, in the place of desolate villages), the original Russian names were usually retained. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, new villages (settlements) and farms appeared.
Karelian villages predominate in the Likhoslavl region, constituting a significant part in the Maksatikhinsky, Rameshkovsky, Spirovsky and Vesyegonsky districts. Now in most of them the population is mixed or Russian.
