Far-right politics in Finland

The Peasant March, a show of force in Helsinki by the Lapua Movement on 7 July 1930

In Finland, the far right (Finnish: Äärioikeisto) was strongest in 1920–1940 when the Academic Karelia Society, Lapua Movement, Patriotic People's Movement (IKL) and Vientirauha operated in the country and had hundreds of thousands of members.[1] In addition to these dominant far-right and fascist organizations, smaller Nazi parties operated as well.
