 The 1920s and early 1930s were a politically unstable time in Finland . The Communist Party of Finland was declared illegal in 1931 , and the <unk> Movement organised anti @-@ communist violence , which culminated in a failed uprising in 1932 . Thereafter the ultra @-@ nationalist Patriotic People 's Movement ( IKL ) had a minor presence — at most 14 seats out of 200 in the Finnish parliament . By the late 1930s , the export @-@ oriented Finnish economy was growing and the nation had almost solved its problems with extreme political movements .
