Pan-Finnicism (Finnish: Panfennismi), also known as Pan-Fennicism or sometimes even referred to as Finno-Ugrism or even Heimoaate[1] (transl. "Kinship Ideology/Thought") is a pan-nationalist idea which advocates for the political or economic unification of the Finno-Ugric peoples.[2] The idea is broad in its meaning and oftentimes it simply refers to the Finno-Ugric peoples, however on rare occasion it can be limited to only the Baltic Finnic peoples or to the Finnic peoples.
