Murmansk Finns or Kola Finns (Finnish: Muurmanninsuomalaiset, Kuolansuomalaiset) are a group of Finns who live or lived in Murmansk Oblast. They came to Murmansk around 1860 during the Finnish famine of 1866–68.[1] However, there was another immigration period in 1900, due to the building of the Kirov Railway. In 2010, there were 273 Finns living in Murmansk.[2]

Around the end of the Tsardom era, there were about 40 villages or towns where Murmansk Finns lived.[1] in 1920 when Petsamo was given to Finland, many Murmansk Finns moved to Petsamo. However two thirds of Murmansk Finns stayed in Soviet Russia. In 1931, a Finnish national district was established in the area, see Polyarny District.

During the Stalin era, the Murmansk Finns were heavily persecuted, being accused of espionage[3] The last Murmansk Finnish villages were emptied in 1940, when 6,973 "citizens of foreign nationalities": Finns, Norwegians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Swedes were deported.[1][4] The survivor, artist and writer Sven Lokka in his books described the experience of Murmansk Finns.[5]

Agnessa Haikara wrote a documentary book "Неизвестная северная история" (Unknown Northern History) about the persecution of 210 Murmansk Finns and Kola Norwegians (printed in Finnish as Kuka koputtaa ovellesi?, "Who is Knocking at Your Door?"[6]), for which Haikara was accused of "encitement of ethnic hatred".[7]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
