Some results of Christianisation of the East-Finnish peoples towards the middle of the 19th century
The middle of the 19th century is a major stage in Russia's life, connected with preparation and realisation of the Emancipation Reform of 1861, the entry of Russia into the way of capitalism. The eastern Finns of Russia approached it, seriously lagging behind in social and economic development from the Slavonic and Turkic people. By that time each nation had their own specific features of Christianity perception, which in many respects defined the character of its development in the after-reform period.
