The Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Ingria has a long and complicated history. As is known, in 1617, under the Stolbov Peace Treaty, Russia gave Sweden the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, the Karelian Isthmus, and the area along the north shore of Lake Ladoga [Severnoe Priladozh'e]. In the Treaty, this entire territory was called Ingermanland, which corresponded terminologically to the Finnish Inkeri and the Russian Ingria, Izhorskaia Zemlia [Izhora Land]. Soon after this, Sweden, seeking to establish a firm foothold in the captured lands, which had been ravaged by the war and had seen their population severely depleted, began to encourage the migration there of Finnish peasants, principally by means of releasing them from military service and taxes.1 Together with these migrants, mostly from the eastern areas of Finland, Lutheranism penetrated into the territory of Ingermanland. The native population of this land, however—Vod, Izhora, Karelians, and Russians—were adherents of Orthodoxy, and under the terms of the Peace Treaty, they had been guaranteed the free profession of their faith
