@article{2017,title={PARTICIPATION OF THE TURKISH TATARS IN THE WINTER WAR AND IN THE ONGOING WAR BETWEEN FINLAND AND THE SOVIET UNION},abstractNode={One of the minority peoples living in Finland are Tatar Turks. The origin of the Turkic-Tatar society in Finland is based on the merchants from the Idil (Volga) -Ural region of Russia, who has come in 1860s. After the October Revolution in 1917, the events which have been taken place and the closing of the borders made impossible for the Turks returning to their homeland. When Finland gained its independence from Russia, the Turkic Tatars became Finnish citizens and legally recognized by the Finnish government as an Islamic community. Although Finland has succeeded in getting its independence from Russia, but it has continued to have problems with the Soviet Union, the inheritor of the Russian Empire from time to time. The Tatar Turks, who have chosen Finland as their homeland, also fought heroically in the Winter War, which the Soviet Union launched against Finland on November 30, 1939 and in the Ongoing War between 1941-1944. Tatar Turks who lives in Finland for over 150 years have been very successfully integrated to the country's society. The study will explore the participation of Tatar Turks in the Winter War between Finland and USSR in 1939 and in the Ongoing War between 1941-1944, also theirs successful integration with Finnish society.},author={Gülzar İSMAYİL},year={2017},journal={Kesit Akademi}}
