Finnish soldiers in 1918

Another relative, - one who was decorated by the Tsarist army.
There was a website research about him, but now I cannot find that page anymore.
Do you have any info about this Romanov soldier?
I’d like to save the data

He looks a bit like Tatar or smthng southeast, not fully Finnish. Maybe I am wrong, but basically Finnish phenotypes can be divided into three groups; those who are hated by some Finns here and called WOG's, those who look like Kekkonen and finally the smallest group I have mentioned as square heads and members look criminals. I can't put him into those groups.

Edit He looks like an eastern version of Tauno Palo.

He looks more Türkö-Ürälik in his right eye than his left eye:

Oh, I also found him, though not the website about his life.

But I knew you Komitasavalta would be able to track him down – you’re amazing!!! Thanks!

He was from Repola i.e. Viena Karelia, where ½ of my Karelian ancestors/relatives seem to have come from.
They escaped the Russian revolution in 1917 and moved to Finland and Sweden in 1918.

But there is some “Türkö-Ürälik”, Tatar-like something among that side of family and also Saami.

Almost united eyebrows. How common is this in Finland?

Rare.

Quite common in Ostrobotnia, especially at Mustasaari, final resting grounds of Edward Teach.
