Comrade soldiers!

Do you know who Mr. Mannerheim is?

Carl Gustav Mannerheim originally belonged to those countryless Finnish Swedes, to those noble rabbles, who from a young age, turned their backs on the Finnish people and sold themselves to the Russian tsarist repressive power. In Russia, this born Finnish baron soon became completely Russian, became a dragoon officer and was so flexible to crawl in front of the decaying palace circles that he was promoted to chief of the Leib Guards of Nicholas II. Consequently, at the same time when the oathbreaker Nicholas, with the help of Bobrikov's gendarmes and opportunist senators, was strangling the Finnish people, Mr. Mannerheim labored in St. Petersburg as a personal guard of Nicholas, the executioner of the Russian revolution.

When Nicholas the Bloody was overthrown in 1917, Mannerheim had to be kicked out of Russia like many other tsarist henchmen. But already at the beginning of the next year, Mannerheim, who left the service, got the hangman's place from the Finnish big bourgeoisie, when they grabbed the throat of the working people of our country. And then the owners of Finland did not allow any more reminders of the fact that this baron had been a traitor to his Fatherland for a long time; instead they began to praise him as a "hero" of the Fatherland. And the more he slaughtered Finnish workers and farm laborers, the more greater “hero” he was elevated to by the money bags of Finland.

That's how Mannerheim became the main butcher of Finland, who was paid a regular executioner’s salary in the first year from the United Bank of Finland, and then from the Helsinki Joint Stock Bank. He also received additional income from the English imperialists, but whether he gave them Finland's military interests and secrets is unknown. It is unlikely that the British needed a lot of money to pay as sunk so low baron as Mannerheim, but still he received a couple of trinkets for his chest.

And this dishonorable executioner of the people is now the commander-in-chief of Finland's white army!

Comrade soldiers, throw that old villain off your shoulders! End the war and join the Finnish People's Government!
