Jukka Rahja

Following the defeat, Rahja fled to the Russian SFSR and became a founding member of the Finnish Communist Party (SKP).

[1] On 31 August 1920, during the Kuusinen Club Incident, Rahja was murdered by the Petrograd Opposition, a faction within the SKP.

This so-called "revolver opposition" consisted mainly of students of the Petrograd Red Officer School.

The word "Rahjaism" was used to describe the politics of the brothers,[citation needed] who were usually in conflict with their comrades and attracted many enemies.

The Rahjas were involved in smuggling, black-marketing, horse-trading and counterfeiting, for example, and they were accused of corruption, an extravagant life and drunkenness in the SKP.
