Formerly called | Karelian National Liberation Movement |
The Karelian National Movement (Russian: Карельское национальное движение, romanized: Karelskoye natsional'noye dvizheniye; Finnish: Karjalan kansallinen liike; Karelian: Karjalan kanšallin liikeh), officially KKL-Stop the Occupation of Karelia[2] is an umbrella term for two organizations that split from each other in 2023. The organization led by the original creator, Dmitry Kuznetsov, who also goes by the name Miteri Panfilov, is called Stop the Occupation of Karelia (Finnish: Lopeta Karjalan Valtaus); it was previously known as the Karelian National Liberation Movement.[3][4] The organization led by Vladislav Oleynik is called the Karelian National Movement.[5]
Both of the organizations are far-right Karelian separatist groups,[6] dating back to 2012 under the name Stop the Occupation of Karelia.[7]
Some Finnish and Russian journalists and politicians believe that the organization was used in information warfare.[8]
