Is Kalevala looted cultural heritage? Finland was at the beginning of a new era in the 19th century. The country that was born in Europe's power games was devoid of its own history and national, distinctive character. So it had to be proven that an ancient Finnishness with strong roots existed at all. Elias Lönnrot's Kalevala was born to answer this cry. In the language of the poets, there was a mystical Latin, a folk soul. But what exactly is the Kalevala, and who does it belong to? Finlandia winner Juha Hurmee's literary autopsy for the Kalevala is a cultural and political horror story about how the living Karelian heritage was mummified into a sacred Finnish book.
