These events are in research called genocide (or ethnic cleansing), which there were in practice. Deportations were just one way to do it. The term Genocide is also used in the Russian legislation referring to the events in the 1990s. In these centrally lead events tens of thousands of Ingrians were murder or killed intentionally in working camps and Ingria ceased to exist. There were approximately 140 000-160 000 ingrians in Ingria before the ethnic cleansing and nowdays there are 19 000 living in Russia. For these reasons I suggest that the name of the article will be changed to "Genocide of the Ingrian Finns".Velivieras (talk) 09:41, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Other option of course is to make a new article concerning the genocide.Velivieras (talk) 16:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
