Säkkijärven polkka (“the Säkkijärvi polka“), also called the “Karelian-Finnish Polka,“ is a well-known folk tune from Finland, very popular with Finnish accordionists. It was especially popularized by Viljo “Vili“ Vesterinen (1907–1961). The tune was first recorded in Säkkijärvi (now Kondratyevo in the Leningrad Oblast, Russia), and the lyrics sometimes sung with the tune state that while Säkkijärvi itself might have been lost (ceded to the Soviet Union in 1940), the Finns at least still had the polka.
