The Peace
of Täyssinä in 1595 and The Peace of Stolbov in 1617
The suspicions of the Lutheran and the Orthodox burst out in open hatred in the
rupture war in 1656-1658. The Orthodox sided with the Russians who had crossed the border.
After the war which proved unsuccessful for the Russians the emigration among the Orthodox
was liveliest, for they feared for revenge by the Lutheran. During the rupture over 4000
families fled to Russia. They were replaced now as well as at the beginning of the 17th
century by Lutheran population.
