The socialist were demanding change to the law that determined the length of work hours per day. Demand was to reduce the work hours down to 8 hours per day. The standard work week at the time was officially six days.

“The Socialist worker’s organization representative struck and formed radical guards to dominate the public streets. The Senate Square in Helsinki was often filled with Socialist and work for striking crowds. Socialist organization guards evolved to be the radical Red guards.”

The supreme authority in Finland government during the Russian Tsardom was the Governor General and Tsar himself. When Nicholas II was removed from power, then the political fight began for power between the temporary government in Petrograd and Bolsheviks, that were inspired to take all authority and power off the Russian Monarchy altogether, and began to be self-governed as an independent nation run by the Bolsheviks.

“Socialist pushed for changes in the authority law and planning to declare themselves as the highest authority in Finland. It would remove authority from the Russian temporary government. Except for the Russian foreign policy matters and the military matters.”

Oskari Tokoinen of the Social Democrats, Spring 20.4.1917. In his speech, he encouraged his party and spoke of the opportunity for Finland to declare independence. Mr. Tokoinen was of the opinion that the Russian Revolution was a legitimate demonstration of the people. Moreover, Finland should do likewise to declare independence.

However, the Russian temporary government in Petrograd was sharply opposed to the idea of Finland independence from Russia.
At the time V.Lenin had returned to Petrograd from his Russian exile in Europe and Finland, and he was voicing his radical ideas openly in his letters and speeches, that the small oppressed countries should have their self-determination granted to separate from Russian monarchy,

– V. Lenin.

He labored for the cause of the devil, Satan, and the Nemesis.  In his campaign speeches, he mentioned the Baltic States self-determination to be separate from Russian monarchy, but it did not necessarily mean the Baltic States becoming an independent of the more fabulous Russian future.

From the 1917 campaign speeches, Finland and the Baltic States were in for a rude shock. Starting with Stalin’s totalitarian State Atheism.  1936-38 Stalin’s paranoia purges of the potential opposition to his leadership.

Finally the Nazi German-Soviet Pact of Aggression, openly going the whole hog to lawlessness.  War against peace started in 1939 and continued until 1941. The aggressive totalitarian aggression,  invasion, and occupation that Stalin and Hitler had started in 1939 continued until 1945.
