In Petrozavodsk on 31, October the administration of republic institution "Vanity press "Periodika", that publishes newspapers in the Veps, the Karelian and the Finnish languages, informed the desk of the magazine "Carelia" about redundancy. The notices were received by all (seven) workers except the editor in chief Robert Kolomaynen, reports Vesti.Karelia.ru. The workers were also informed about a new structure of the desk from the beginning of 2014. It will include four staffers: the editor in chief and three editors - in the Finnish, the Karelian and the Veps languages. Their goal will be to publish two issues of the magazine "Carelia" in Finnish and one shot in Karelian and one - in Veps during one year.

"It means that "Carelia" as a magazine is coming to an end, - told to "Karelia news" the present-day editor of the oldest in Russia literary and art publication in Finnish sketch department Armas Mashin. - The periodical, that is published once a half year - is not a magazine, it is something else. Per se it is the same that is an almanac. Reader is interested in a magazine because of its regularity. We published large works of Karelian national prose that were got into print in several issues of a magazine during a year. How will they be published now? During 5 years? The magazine's form changing will mean changing of its matter, and I don't understand when kind of matter will have the magazine that is published two times a year".

Besides, as Armas Mashin noticed, no one don't speak on creation of the Internet-version of the magazine "Carelia". Although earlier Karelian officials took up the variant of translating the literary and art issue in Internet. In other words the national Karelian intelligentsia's worst fears were confirmed: republican government didn't listen to the opinion of the famous public figures that disputed the magazine's reduction. They preferred save on the culture.
