Frans Myyryläinen

[1] Myyryläinen worked as forest guardian and as a shopkeeper in Kainuu and as an inspector in the early 20th century.

Using the name Jahvetti Moilanen, he stood on a crate that had formerly contained pork and delivered a speech that called the 'Declaration of Battle of the Red Guerrilla Battalion of the North'.

On February 7, the battalion, by that time numbering 240, crossed back to the Soviet Union.

Information on the incident was received at Rovaniemi only on February 5 and the battalion slipped away before a group of the White Guard arrived.

In the Soviet Union, Myyryläinen continued as a Red Army teacher in the Russian part of Karelia.
