Finnish Karelia, historically also Swedish Karelia or Carelia, is a historical province divided today between eastern Finland and northwestern Russia. It refers to the western parts of Karelia that during the second millennium have been under western dominance, religiously and politically. Western Karelia is separate from East Karelia, or Russian Karelia, which was dominated by Novgorod and its successor states from the 12th century onwards.
