Abstract
The paper examines the ethnic (national) aspects of the Karelian state’s repressive policy in the border region. The author concludes that State violence, constantly growing in the interwar period, should be regarded as a product of the changing ideas of the country's leadership about the world around and the place of Soviet society in it.
