Kuusinen Club Incident

[1] After the end of the Finnish Civil War in 1918, thousands of Red Guards fled to Russia, mostly to Petrograd.

The leaders of the Guard lived lavishly, spending their time in the best hotels and restaurants of Petrograd.

The party began to schism into so-called "revolver oppositions", whose target was to remove the gap between the leaders and the supporters by open violence.

The shooters were six students of the red officer academy, led by Aku Paasi (former August Pyy) and Allan Hägglund.

Eloranta, however, was executed in 1923 after Eino Rahja, Jukka's elder brother, lobbied the reconsideration of the commutations.
