nationalist leader.
Born in far right in Finland without a wide organisational basis (groups like AKS having small, elite memberships).[2]
Along with Patriotic People's Movement in 1932.[1] He would not stay a member long however as the group soon became purely Finnish (isolating the Swedish-speaking Räikkönen) and he moved closer to Nazism.[1]
Having left the movement he contented himself with editing the journal Suomen Vapaussota, whilst also becoming involved in Gustav Vasa movement, a Nazi organization for Finland's Swedish-speaking population and Blue Cross, another Nazi group.[1] He ultimately emigrated to Sweden in 1945 and lived out his life there in retirement.[1][3] References
