Martta Koskinen
Martta Johanna Koskinen (1897 – 29 September 1943) was a Helsinki seamstress, who was sentenced to death for high treason and executed by firing squad on 29 September 1943, the last woman executed in Finland.
== Early life ==
Koskinen was born in Helsinki in 1897. She was tall and lean, and spoke loudly because scarlet fever had damaged her hearing in her childhood. She was a seamstress by profession. She was introduced to Communism very early on, and she was a member of the underground Finnish Communist Party. She participated in the Finnish Civil War on the Red side.
Koskinen was first imprisoned in Kotka in 1933 for revolutionary activity with several other women who had sided with the Reds, and had been sentenced to prison for treason. She was also accused of "membership in a criminal organization" (Finnish Communist Party) and writing "clandestine literature". Koskinen denied the charges, but she was sentenced to two years of prison for treasonous activity.
Koskinen was an acquaintance of two notable female Finnish Communists: Hertta Kuusinen, daughter of Otto Wille Kuusinen, and Hella Wuolijoki. Koskinen worked as a seamstress for Wuolijoki at the Marlebäck manor which Wuolijoki owned, and even when both were in prison. She was able to continue her activities for a long time, since the Finnish Police never suspected her; she appeared too obvious for a spy: tall, visible, loud-voiced, a two-time prior prisoner, and a known communist. The authorities were seeking a "petite person blending easily in the crowd". Her trade as a seamstress helped her to cover her activities.
