It would be nice to know the extent in which these people are known outside Finland. Select the persons on the list that you have heard of.
Hope this is not considered a copycat thread.

Oh, Kamrat: Don't forget Otto-Ville Kuusinen (Where from the name OttoK comes from ), The 'prime minister' of the 'puppet government' in Finland during WW2 - He was a HC-communist

Actually, after his charade as a Soviet stooge-of-a-prime-minister, Otto Wille Quislinginen was a moderately high shot in the Soviet government, where he was considered a moderate. Then again, this is Soviet Union we're talking 'bout."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit.

But since he was a Mosow puppet he´s not my kind of communist. At least Tuominen saw the error of his ways and choose the path that lead away from Stalins perverted massmurder project (ie the Soviet Union).
Aivo: Paljon kiitoksia!
I try to get my spelling as correct as possible, but it wasn´t hard. All I had to do was look in my book shelf
