        They did it even to all the protofash around ever since 1918. Even Kolchak of all people told them to fuck off despite it proably costed him a lost civil war and his life (and this didn’t even stopped Mannerheim from trying).

          and when any of this is pointed out, this happens:

          Unfortunately, in the light of Finnish historiography, this is not surprising. Finland has always responded to criticism of the state’s actions from independence until the end of the Second World War with a strong defensive stance.

          The Finnish government has been “forced” to ban political parties, imprison, torture and kill political opponents. The state “accidentally” had links with criminal fascist groups. Finland “had a difficult choice” between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Finland " was forced " to choose the Nazis. And even when they set up concentration camps, the Finns did it for a reason more noble than the other genocidaires. And all the deaths were accidents.

          Such whining is all over the history books of our country. All the Finnish rulers from the beginning to the end are just blue-eyed, silly little children who do nothing wrong, but at the same time all the evil is done in self-defence. Refusing to accept responsibility is an extremely dangerous act, both for our past and for our future.
