Vapautemme hinta

Vapautemme hinta ('The price of our freedom') is a 1941 book compiled by the Finnish magazine Suomen Kuvalehti.

It consists of the names and, when available, pictures of all the Finnish soldiers who died in the Winter War from 1939–1940 between Finland and the Soviet Union.

Vapautemme hinta is a continuation of the idea; it made the case that a unified Finland preserved its independence and freedom through the heroic blood sacrifice of its sons, and bolstered Finnish nationalism.

In spite of great losses, the Winter War was thus presented as a success in that Finland still stood as an independent nation at all rather than being entirely conquered.

The artist Seppo Renvall made a 1990 experimental film based on Vapautemme hinta.
