Introduction / History

The Ingrian Izhor are also called Izhorians. Their homeland is mainly in Russia, through some live in Ukraine. They do not speak their own language; those in Ukraine speak Ukrainian and those in Russia speak Russian. There is a related group in Finland.
Those in Russia live near St. Petersburg, so the founding of that city had a large impact on their lives. They faced much hardship in WWII during the Siege of Leningrad.
