Select Document
This select document is an annotated translation of John Hampden Jackson’s 1937 Finnish-language text ‘Finland and Ireland: assorted comparisons’, an article previously unavailable in English. It represents an intriguing and extended instance of the generalised comparisons that were made between Irish and Finnish history by observers from the nineteenth century onwards. Therefore, as an example of a mid-twentieth-century primer of the two countri…

Black spots on the map of Europe’
In late 1909, the liberal Russian newspaper Birzhevye Vedomosti expressed the fear that Finland could become ‘Russia’s Ireland’. The implication was that by restricting the autonomy that Finland had enjoyed within the Russian Empire for much of the preceding century, Russian nationalists risked creating a chaotic, discontented eastern province, dangerously close to the imperial capital. The ‘Russia’s Ireland’ motif became so prominent in the foll…
Neither do these tenants or their children emigrate”
The Great Finnish Famine of 1868, referred to by Cormac Ó Gráda as the “last great subsistence crisis of the western world”, caused the death of nearly one-tenth of Finland's population. This article examines the patterns of post-famine emigration from Finland, and considers differences of scale and context with Irish post-famine emigration, as well as the differences in national identity which conditioned responses to the famines, and their comm…
Diplomatic Deceptions
In the early months of the Second World War, the Soviet–Finnish ‘Winter War’ enthralled many in the English-speaking world. The British War Illustrated (16 Dec. 1939), for example, described how Stalin was making ‘foul war on gallant Finland’, bemoaning the ‘march of the steam-roller of the new Russian imperialism’. The New York Times, likewise, claimed that Soviet ‘invective’ was ‘even cheaper than the German brand ... poured with a ladle on the…

Sotavankien ja siviili-internoitujen sodanaikainen kuolleisuus Suomessa
The relationship between Finnish military authorities and prisoners of war and civil internees is tackled by Lars Westerlund in this dense and detailed monograph. In the context of the ‘heroic’ national narrative of the Winter War against the Soviet Union (1939–40), the issue of what happened to prisoners of war in Finland during this and the subsequent Continuation War (1941–4), and Lapland War (1944), has not impinged greatly on the collective …

Red Scotland! The Rise and Fall of the Radical Left, c.1872-1932
In discussing the nature of Scottish nationality, Gordon Donaldson (who later became Historiographer Royal for Scotland) claimed in 1969 that ‘there was a Scottish political tradition distinct from that of England, but it lay in radicalism and not in nationalism’. This notion of ‘radicalism’—an amorphous and flexible term which can be used to suit many contexts—constituting an essential component of Scottish national identity is a recurrent theme…
In Building a Nation Few Better Examples can be Found’
Following the reconstitution of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, after a hiatus of over three centuries, the development of links with the Nordic countries was presented as a strategic priority, and Scotland was apparently accepted by the Nordic Council as a part of the ‘West Nordic Sphere’. Politicians and social commentators in Scotland – though not necessarily the majority of the electorate – have shown an ongoing fascination with their Scandi…

Suomi Saksalaisin Silmin, 1933-1939
This book examines perceptions of Finland from German diplomatic and newspaper sources, from Hitler's accession in 1933 to the outbreak of the Winter War in 1939. In this respect, it stands as something of a prequel to Peltovuori's earlier Sankarikanssa ja Kavaltajat (2000; rev. ante, cxvi [2001], 760–1). As demonstrated in this earlier work, Finland was perceived by Hitler as a potentially useful ally, and thus the ‘guidance’ given to the press …
Ireland, Radicalism, and the Scottish Highlands, c.1870-1912
This book focuses on the leading figures in radical politics in Ireland and Scottish highlands and explores the links between them. It deals with topics that have been at the centre of recent discussions on the Highland land question, the politics of the Irish community in Scotland, and the development of the labour movement in Scotland. The author argues that the Irish activists in the Scottish Highlands and in urban Scotland should be seen as a…

When taking their weekly copy of the Highland News during the spring of 1915 the majority of the Highland population would, no doubt, first have turned anxiously to find news about friends and loved ones fighting in Europe. The edition from Saturday, 17 April, 1915, for example, con tained the names of many from Inverness and the Highlands who would not return home. Perhaps the most prominent war victim of that week was W.G.C. Gladstone, grandson…
