Helsinki is precisely 67.65 km away.
The Mäntsälä Rebellion in 1932 was basically a last-ditch effort by the Lapua Movement to push back against rising communism in Finland. A group of armed supporters tried to force stronger action from the government, but it fizzled out after the president, popular in far-right side, called them to stand down. Some of them were veterans of Finnish civil war, who felt that their government wasn’t harsh enough to weed out communist elements of their society.
“Soldiers in Mäntsälä following the Mäntsälä rebellion”
Are you meaning watching or following? Meaning are they send to look after those who rebelled or did they “follow” the rebellion and do the same?
I know the answer but not all know and wording now can mean two totally different thing.
Nice pic!
Fun fact, Mäntsälä had a night-time market event called “Kapinayö” or Rebellion Night in the 90s. I remember being there a few times as a kid.
They also have a pub called Kapina still
Hah, skill issue! 😎
