Abstract: Based on a recently introduced by the author notion of {em parity}, in the present paper we construct a sequence of invariants (indexed by natural numbers $m$) of long virtual knots, valued in certain simply-defined group ${ildeG}_m$ (the Cayley graphs of these groups are represented by grids in the $(m+1)$-space); the conjugacy classes of elements of $G_m$ play the role of invariants of {em compact} virtual knots. By construction, all invariants do not change under {em virtualization}. Factoring the group algebra of the corresponding group by certain polynomial relations leads to finite order invariants of (long) knots which do not change under {em virtualization
