Karelian Brotherhood (Finnish: Karjalan veljeskunta, Russian: Карельское братство) was an organization founded in 1907 as a Russian Orthodox society, whose goal 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) of Serdobol[3] Karjalan veljeskunta was dissolved when Finland obtained its independence in 1917.
