Johan Viktor (Voitto) Eloranta (6 July 1876 - 1923; original surname Lindroos) was a Finnish schoolteacher, journalist and politician, born in Janakkala.
In 1918, during the Finnish Civil War, he was a member of the Staff of the Central Front of the Red side.
After the collapse of the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic, Eloranta fled to Soviet Russia, where he was among the founders of the Communist Party of Finland (SKP).
He eventually joined the internal opposition of the SKP and in 1922, after the Kuusinen Club Incident, where eight Finnish communists were shot by members of the party opposition, he was sentenced to death by a Soviet tribunal, accused of being the main instigator of the incident.
[2] Eloranta was married to the playwright Elvira Willman who also faced the same charge as her husband.
