The Sami of the Kola Peninsula cond World War, with its violent upheavals, is summarized euphemistically using the familiar mantra of international friendship: "Успехи культурной революции на Кольском полуострове, достигнутые в довоенные годы саамами вместе с русскими, финнами, карелами, коми, ненцами, были очевидны." / / "In the years prior to World War II, Sami together with Russians, Finns, Karelians, Komi and Nenets contributed tangibly to the success of the cultural revolution on the Kola peninsula. "128 5.3 The Finnish-Russian War and the Second World War Little literature exists on the role the Sami played in the war. Nor were the interview­ ees able to say much about it, being still children at the time. The boundary changes due to the 1939-1940 Russian-Finnish conflict meant that many Sami had to move away from their previous place of residence or suddenly found themselves belonging to another state .129 During World War II, a tragic fate befell the small settlement of Skolt close to the German-Russian front: all the men were shot, the women and children deported. 130 Deportation away from the war zone was also the fate of other, potentially trai­ torous ethnic groups. In an impressive testimony written in novel form the Finnish- born Sven Lokko (1993) tells how those communist-minded Finns who had emigrat­ ed soon after the October Revolution, for political reasons, to the Kola Peninsula - including Lokko itself - were deported and had to produce goods for the war indus­ try in labour camps far from the front. As Lokko presents things, those who survived this time and returned home after the war were treated with suspicion and reviled as cowards who had hidden from the war. 128 Kiselev/Kiseleva 1987, 104. 129Cf.: Rasmussen 1995, 48. 130Cf.: Sarv 1996, 134.
