About Vyborg
The city is at the mouth of theSaimaa Canal, on a bay of the Gulf of Finland. Until World War II it was an important trading city. Especially in the 19th century it had a very international atmosphere. Although the Finnish speaking population grew from half to more than ninety percent, multiculturalism was important to the identity of the city, and the minorities of Swedes, Germans, Russians, Romani, Tatars, and Jews remained. At the end of World War II the former population was evacuated and the city was later populated bySoviet Unioncitizens. The pre-war population of 70,000 was reached in the 1970s, with Vyborg having some 80,000 inhabitants in 2010. Vyborg was one of six charted towns in medieval Finland. It started out as a marketplace for Karelians, belonging to theNovgorodrealm. Unt
