Expand Finland, Liberate Viena

The right wing dreamed of occupying East Karelia, liberating kindred people from communism. Even though kinship wars didn't materialize due to the enormous power of the Soviet-Russia, the Academic Karelia Society (AKS, Akateeminen Karjala-Seura),which supported the concept of Great Finland and hatred of Russians, promoted the tribal movement.

Academic Karelia Society operated from 1922 to 1944.

These 100,000 man strong civil-guard troops, originating from the White side of the civil war, were supported by the state. Women got their own civil-guard organization, Lotta Svärd, in 1921. Left wing supporters were refused admittance in national defense organizations.

In the 1930s, school curriculums promoted conservative values. Conservatives were regularly appointed to police and teacher positions. Organization of the police was managed by Whites. The military force highlighted the values of White Finland in its training. Left wing activities were closely monitored in the media, and the government actively tried to disband the communist organization. Employers established an association called Vientirauha (Peace for Export) that employed strikebreakers to end strikes.
