You know, once in the parliament he walked over to the communist representative that "You know, we've got something in common you and I."
"Huh?"
"We both really hate this fucking democracy, don't we?"

and then he reeed and left

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.

During the battle of the very city I live in.

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
