Thank you for sharing! I wish I owned of such photos dating back to that war.

I've been reading up on him and he is an interesting historic figure. His actions during the East Karelian Uprising and defeating the Finnish White Troops we're well known during the Soviet days.
Some photos of him:
1) Toivo Antikainen's squad after a raid on the White Finnish forces rear, 1922.
2) Commanders and cadets of the Petrograd school, after receiving the Order of the Red Banner, 1922. Antikainen is the person on the first row, 5th from the left.

Very good pics,
thanks for sharing, Aleksander. The first one is just about the fabular movie from 1937
Great info a pics.
They made an award for Antikainen's raid on the enemy rear. I think I read somewhere else that only about 100 we're awarded.
I'd die to get one. Anyone in on robbing a bank with me ?
