Etymology The (antiquated) word ''möysä'' means a sauna doubling as a shelter, constructed in a partly underground hole. It may be of Sami origin, but the area has also been favored by Tavastian hunter-gatherers. It is presumed that the shores of lake Joutjärvi had numerous ''möysäs'' for use by travellers during the village of Lahti's time as a significant place of commerce during the 1600s. History Möysä was traditionally part of the village of Järvenpää, which is presumed to be the oldest permanently inhabited area in Lahti. It took until the 1800s for these residencies to spread from the eastern shore of Joutjärvi to the area that currently constitutes Möysä, towards the village of Lahti.

Russification Of Finland
The policy of Russification of Finland ( fi, sortokaudet / sortovuodet, lit=times/years of oppression; russian: Русификация Финляндии, translit=Rusyfikatsiya Finlyandii) was a governmental policy of the Russian Empire aimed at limiting the special status of the Grand Duchy of Finland and possibly the termination of its political autonomy and cultural uniqueness in 1899–1905 and in 1908–1917. It was a part of a larger policy of Russification pursued by late 19th–early 20th century Russian governments which tried to abolish cultural and administrative autonomy of non-Russian minorities within the empire. The two Russification campaigns evoked widespread Finnish resistance, starting with petitions and escalating to strikes, passive resistance (including draft resistance) and eventually active resistance. Finnish opposition to Russification was one of the main factors that ultimately led to Finland's declaration of independence in 1917. Under Tsarist Russi ...
