The White Guards executed Red Guard and party leaders , Red troops , socialist members of the Finnish Parliament and local Red administrators , and those active in implementing Red Terror . The numbers varied over the months as the Whites conquered southern Finland . Comprehensive White Terror started with their general offensive in March 1918 and increased constantly . It peaked at the end of the war and declined and ceased after the enemy troops had been transferred to prison camps . During the high point of the executions , between the end of April and the beginning of May , 200 Reds were shot per day . White Terror was decisive against Russian soldiers who assisted the Finnish Reds , and several Russian non-socialist civilians were killed in the Vyborg massacre , the aftermath of the Battle of Vyborg
