Vyborg massacre
The Vyborg massacre was the killing of 360–420 people in the town of Vyborg during the Finnish Civil War in April–May 1918. The massacre took place after the Battle of Vyborg as the White Guards captured the town from the Reds. Most of the victims were Russian civilians, mainly men and young boys.〔(Westerlund, Lars: ”Me odotimme teitä vapauttajina ja te toitte kuolemaa – Viipurin valloituksen yhteydessä teloitetut venäläiset” ) p. 97–189. (in Finnish). Article in the book ”Venäläissurmat Suomessa 1914–22: Osa 2.2. Sotatapahtumat 1918–22”, Prime Minister's Office of Finland, 2004. ISBN 952-5354-45-8.〕
With 49,000 inhabitants, Vyborg was the second largest town in Finland. It was also the most diverse Finnish town, in 1910 Vyborg had the minorities of 5,000 Swedes and 3,200 Russians, as well as smaller groups of Germans, Jews and Islamic Tatars.〔(Schweitzer, Robert: ”Saksalainen Viipuri” ) p. 22. (in Finnish). Article in the book ”Monikulttuurisuuden aika Viipurissa”, Viipurin Suomalainen Kirjallisuusseura, 2013. ISSN 1236-4304.〕 The White Guards' idea was to commit an ethnic cleansing of the Russian minority, the other ethnicities were killed as they were simply assumed as Russians.〔
== Victims ==
At least 360 of the victims were Russians, the rest being members of other ethnic groups living in Vyborg, including 23 Polish soldiers of the Imperial Russian Army, several Ukrainians, Estonians, Jews and Tatars, two Italians and one Baltic German. About one third of the murdered Russians were afflicted with the army. It is notable that they did not fight with the Reds, but were mostly unarmed. Only few of the victims had any connections with the Red Guards, most of them even supported the Whites and greeted them as liberators.〔
The victims were of all social classes. Most of the killed Russian civilians were administrators working for the City of Vyborg, merchants, businessmen or handicraftsmen, also several noblemen were executed. The youngest victims were only 12–13-year-old schoolboys. Two of the murdered teenagers were the 13 and 15-year-old sons of Lieutenant Colonel Georgi Bulatsel who was one of the highest ranked Russian officers fighting for the Reds. He had been executed after the Battle of Tampere in 28 April.〔
