Illegal?[edit]

"The Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic was a short-lived, illegal socialist state created after a socialist revolution on 28 January 1918 that occurred in Finland in the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution." - Just as "illegal" as the First French Republic or any other revolutionary state. Therefore it's a very unnecessary designation which should be removed. Taeronai 14:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The French revolution succeeded, the rebellion of the Finnish reds did not. Thus they were treated as criminals according to the laws of the land. --89.27.36.41 (talk) 14:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
