Funnily enough only to the civil war times Brief history of Russophobia

According to Karemaa, the class war of 1918 changed the Finns’ attitude towards the Russians. With the war, the white side transformed pan-European stereotypes and occasional anti-Russian sentiment into deep Russophobia. The war was easy to present propagandistically as a struggle for independence, a mythical struggle of the West against the East. The fearsome Bolshevik Russian represented the evil that had been unleashed. Especially the Jäger who had returned to Finland from Germany had adopted Germanic racial attitudes and anti-Russianism. The fearsome Bolshevik Russian represented the evil that had been let loose. Many Finnish writers and poets, from Juhani Siljo to Larin Kyösti and V. A. Koskenniemi, Ilmari Kianto, wrote insulting texts about the Russian people during the war that raised the fighting spirit. The Russians were described in racist terms as “sluts of the land”, while the Red Guards were “half-wits” who fraternised with “dogs and scum”.
