Shyoltozero
Shyoltozero ( rus, Шёлтозеро, p=ˈʂoltəzʲɪrə; vep, Šoutjärv’; krl, Šoutjärvi; fi, Soutjärvi) is a rural locality (a '' selo'') in Prionezhsky District of the Republic of Karelia, Russia, located close to the shore of Lake Onega, south of Petrozavodsk, the capital of the republic. Shyoltozero is the cultural center of the north Veps people, and during 1994–2004 it was the territorial center of Veps National Volost. Etymology In the place name ''Šoutjärv’'' one can see the sound change ''*l'' > ''u'', which has occurred in Veps throughout (cf. Finn. ''kolme'' ~ Veps ''koum'' ‘three’). When considered together with the testimony of old Russian maps, it is clear that the earlier Veps name has been ''*Šoltjärvi''. Thus this place name has nothing to do with the Finnish word ''soutaa'' (‘to row’), and the frequently used Finnish form ''Soutjärvi'' is based on an incorrect etymology.Irma Mullonen.

Soviet Partisans
Soviet partisans were members of resistance movements that fought a guerrilla war against Axis forces during World War II in the Soviet Union, the previously Soviet-occupied territories of interwar Poland in 1941–45 and eastern Finland. The activity emerged after Nazi Germany's Operation Barbarossa was launched from mid-1941 on. It was coordinated and controlled by the Soviet government and modeled on that of the Red Army. The partisans made a significant contribution to the war by countering German plans to exploit occupied Soviet territories economically, gave considerable help to the Red Army by conducting systematic attacks against Germany's rear communication network, disseminated political rhetoric among the local population by publishing newspapers and leaflets, and succeeded in creating and maintaining feelings of insecurity among Axis forces. Soviet partisans also operated on interwar Polish and Baltic territories occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939–1940, bu ...

Continuation War
The Continuation War, also known as the Second Soviet-Finnish War, was a conflict fought by Finland and Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1944, as part of World War II.; sv, fortsättningskriget; german: Fortsetzungskrieg. According to Finnish historian Olli Vehviläinen, the term 'Continuation War' was created at the start of the conflict by the Finnish government, to justify the invasion to the population as a continuation of the defensive Winter War and separate from the German war effort. He titled the chapter addressing the issue in his book as "Finland's War of Retaliation". Vehviläinen asserted that the reality of that claim changed when the Finnish forces crossed the 1939 frontier and started annexation operations. The US Library of Congress catalogue also lists the variants War of Retribution and War of Continuation (see authority control)., group="Note" In Soviet historiography, the war was called the Finnish Front of the Great Patriotic War..
