Talk:Karelian fever

I suggest to add another meaning of this phrase.

I have a suggestion to add a historical meaning of the phrase “Karelian fever”. According to the American author Michael J Gelb and the emerita of University Minnesota-Duluth Aleksis Pogorelskin, Karelian fever is a period of feverish migration of American Finns to Soviet Karelia in 1930s. Historical researcher Rainer Langtedt in his book «Finnish-Americans in War and Peace» states that “the frenzy that caused Finnish Americans and Finnish Canadians to move to Karelia in search for a promised “Workers Paradise” is called Karelian Fever.” Jorgen siranpoika (talk) 06:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
