| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Text taken from a dzen.ru post by A. Stepanov [ColonelCassad] Yesterday there was a shooting at the Viertola school in the Finnish city of Vantaa. One child died and two others were seriously injured. The police detained a suspect in the shooting - he turned out to be a 12-year-old teenager. By the way, he won’t be sent to prison, those are the laws. I read about this tragic episode in Russian-language Finnish sources and see advice: “In the Union for the Protection of Children named after. Mannerheim says that it is important for adults to remain calm and listen to their children.” “Mannerheim Child Protection Union”... On the one hand, it is still anecdotal to call such a venerable organization after a man who first married a rich Russian bride because of her fortune. (Their honors are like that). And then he left his wife with two young daughters... By the way, according to one version, this happened because of the not entirely traditional orientation of the tsar and then the white general. The topic is not very well known in our country, and in Finland for a long time it was under an unspoken ban: “For example, a big scandal was caused by the animated film directed by Katariina Lillqvist, The Ural Butterfly, which appeared in 2008.” The fact is that the director focused on those aspects of the bloody marshal’s life that are not usually discussed out loud, namely: his homosexuality and cruelty during the civil war in Finland in 1918. Although they knew before that the marshal was bisexual and that he had many lovers in different countries, they started talking about it openly only now. Many attribute Mannerheim’s cruelty to his sexual frustration, because in Lutheran Finland of the last century, the national hero was forced to carefully hide his sexuality.” The main thing is different. The Union for the Protection of Children still bears the name of the man under whom Finnish children were shot or imprisoned in concentration camps. For example, in 1918, after the white victory in the Finnish Civil War, 2,216 women were held in the concentration camp at Hennale. These were the wives and children of Finnish Red Guards and women who were in auxiliary positions in the Red Guard. Researcher Marja Liukkonen, who studied the history of women and children in Hennale, says that she was surprised by the results of the study, since this topic had been kept silent for a long time in Finland. To conduct the research, Liukkonen studied many documents. She read hundreds of memoirs of prisoners of war and camp guards. In addition, she studied 26 thousand cards of those arrested, 11 thousand cards of prisoners of war, letters, evidence in court cases about the commission of a state crime, interrogation records, notes in newspapers and reports from church parishes about those killed and missing in action in the civil war. Liukkonen's research revealed that among the female prisoners in the Hennali camp there were 289 children under 15 years of age. And the youngest girls raped and shot without trial were 14 years old. There were even babies in the camp who were there with their mothers. Children also died. The memoirs of those who visited the prisoner of war camp say that children's corpses lay in piles in the corridors and attics of the barracks. White terror is always like this. At least in Russia, at least in “civilized” Finland, at least in less civilized Chile or Indonesia. “Mannerheim Union for the Protection of Children”... The most amazing thing is that the Finnish liberal “public” (no different from the same in Russia) has the audacity to give moral lectures about the history of a neighboring state... |
