Oleg,

Soviet partisans made raids to Finland from their bases at SU (Lapland and Carelia). Largest raid was made in summer -42 with 638 partisans.
The partisans at our front hit both military and civilian targets. As a christian I should forgive to those who have done wrong, but the atrocies some of them made are such that it`s VERY hard.

Partisans attacked to Seitajärvi village (they burnt it down and executed all except one person).
Same happened also in Magga´s houses, Lokka, Kuhmo´s Viianki, Pielisjärvi´s Sormivaara, Pielisjärvi´s Riihivaara (that happened 5.9.1944, after war). Also women took part to those raidings.

All these villages and houses were "military garrisons" in Partisan reports.

Too bad Russian, and Finnish authorities too, protects those war criminals (like Alexander Smirnov or Georgi Kalashnikov, Partisan leaders). Finlandization is still effecting, IMHO... :(

Oleg,
Partisans at Finland at your own language:
"Za Tsertoj Miloserdija" 1977 and "Za Tsertoj Miloserdija. Partizanskaja Muzyka" 1983, both by Dimitri Gusarov.
However, read with care and don`t believe all.

Well, we can't really compare the partisans in eastern front to "partisans" in Finnish front.

In eastern front they fought, and lived behind German lines and had large support from the civilian population. There were attrocities made by partisans, but nothing compared to what Germans did to their people. I have deep respect for those brave men (and women) who defended their homeland.

In Finnish front it was totally different matter. Partisans did not lived behind Finnish lines, they just made "raids" to Finland. They surely had non what so ever support from Finnish people and when they didn't dare to attack true garrisons they just savagely murdered and raped innocent civilians in remote, undefended villages. Though, ofcourse they also escorted desants (agents) to Finland, made prisoner capturing attacks against lonely soldiers, small outposts or convoys, and gathered intelligence information. But valuable military efforts, which they surely did also are not the things by which they will be remembered in history.

I find the reaction from our Finnish friends here strange. As none of the pictured partisans are stated to operate in Finland.

German troops, police forces and SS killed 17 million Soviet civilians, give or take a few, Oleg probably know the excact number. So tell me, what should we about the Germans...?

Lars,

I think this difference should be known. It was same movement, under same leadership - but the operating enviroment (and methods) were totally different. Others were freedom fighters in land occupied by savage invaders - others were raiders that fought (mostly) in foreign land.

Ofcourse what happened in Finnish front is only a small chapter in the history of partisan movement - still no reason to forget it.
