Over-aesthetic White Guard
I remember hearing about the White Guard when my friend told me about the Finnish civil war which at the time I wasn't familiar with
I knew basic stuff about the Winter War, but not that
I do love how the Finns wiped out an entire fucking Ukrainian division during the Winter War
something like that
Yeah, they're our heroes.
If America had had a civil war in 1918s as well it would have probably been really aesthetic as well.
yeah it would be
also please tell me the story of this Etsa person
immediately fascinated
I love the fucking semi-Mexican bandito look with all the ammo bandoliers it's totally bizarre to me rofl
Verna Erikson smuggled weapons and ammunition to the white guard pocket in Helsinki that was controlled by the Red Guard at the time.
hahahahha awesome
What's your excuse?
None :c
Got Cross of Freedom at age 13 or 14, he's cooler than I am and his balls hadn't even dropped.
Too bad he got shot along with Olof Palme's much cooler uncle and namesake who supported eugenics and was a huge anticommunist.
:c RIP
ah yeah Palme right
the guy they think may have been assassinated by the Civil Cooperation Bureau
for his opposition to apartheid
Little known fact, his uncle took part in Finnish civil war along with Martin Ekström who would find the Swedish nazi party.
White terror best terror.
brutal
Ironically, the guy who would find the Lapua movement was imprisoned in Shpalernaja prison that got emptied when the Bolsheviks took power.
It would be like the ADL broke you out of a maximum security prison.
that's absolutely beautiful
Alright, this is going to be too ironic to even comprehend.
SUSPENSE
Aarne Sihvo was likewise imprisoned by Russians for helping the independence movement. Reds take power, he gets kicked out. Civil war starts in Finland, he becomes a commander and helps beat the reds who either surrender or run to russia, among them red guard commander Antikainen. As a gigantic fuck you to the Bolsheviks, he leads an expedition to Russia in 1919 to grab some RIGHTFUL precious Finnish clay, and fights Antikainen's troops. Again. But this time in Russia.
It goes on.
LOL
Fucking rad
After several years of border wars, we grabbed some clay thanks to Sihvo and buddies, and it pretty much dies down by 1923. In 1933 Antikainen decides to infiltrate Finland to help the underground communist party. He gets caught, and there's political trial with constant threat of death sentence for war crimes during the so called "Kinship Wars", with rumors of cannibalism etc. But, Winter War starts in 1939, doesn't go so swimmingly, and one of the demands of the Soviets is comrade Antikainen is released at once.
He goes to Russia and is immediately made representative of Finno-Karelian SSR in High Soviet Council of Representatives. But he begins to wonder why absolutely no one he knows is alive anymore, and and starts asking questions. He dies less than a year after returning to Soviet Union after NKVD is kicking in his door and he defenestrated himself.
