Ivar Lassy
Ivar Fredrik Lassy (18 November 1889 – 4 June 1938) was a Finnish writer and anthropologist who was active in the Socialist and Communist parties. Lassy moved to the Soviet Union in 1923 and was killed during the Great Purge. Lassy was first a member of the Social Democratic Party but soon switched to the illegal Communist Party of Finland. The mainstream Social Democrats found him too radical, but his distinctive opininons did not please the Communists neither. In his research, Lassy studied the Turkic people of Caucasus and later the history of sexual ethics, although he was expelled from the academic circles for joining the Reds in the 1918 Civil War of Finland. Life Early years Lassy was born in Baku where his father worked as an oil ship captain for the Branobel company. At the age of ten, Lassy was sent to school to Finland.

Peoples Delegation Of Finland
The Finnish People's Delegation ( fi, Suomen kansanvaltuuskunta sv, Finska folkdelegationen) was a governmental body, created by a group of members in the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP), to serve as the government of the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic during the Finnish Civil War. The chair of the Delegation was the former Speaker of the Parliament Kullervo Manner. The Delegation seized power at the start of the civil war by supplanting Pehr Evind Svinhufvud's first senate and the Parliament, after which it passed laws and enactments aspiring to a controlled social reformation as per the policy of the labor movement. A parliamentary Central Workers' Council also operated alongside the Delegation, although its role in the Reds' administration remained rather minor. The most ambitious of the Delegation's legislative undertakings was a proposition for a new constitution, which aimed at keeping a democratic foundation. The act could not be implemented amidst the war ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Petrozavodsk
Petrozavodsk (russian: Петрозаводск, p=pʲɪtrəzɐˈvotsk; Karelian, Vepsian and fi, Petroskoi) is the capital city of the Republic of Karelia, Russia, which stretches along the western shore of Lake Onega for some . The population of the city was 280,890 as of 2022. Etymology The name of the city is a combination of words Peter ( Peter the Great) and ''zavod'' (meaning factory). It was previously known as ''Shuysky Zavod'' (1703–1704) and ''Petrovskaya Sloboda'' (1704–1777), which was the first name of the city related to Peter the Great. It was renamed to Petrozavodsk after Catherine the Great granted the settlement the status of a city. An ancient Swedish name was ''Onegaborg'', known from a map from 1592 of the Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius, and hence translated to Finnish as ''Äänislinna'', a name used during the occupation of Eastern Karelia by Finnish forces during the Continuation War (1941–1944) in the context of World War II.
