Summary "Sortovuosilta: Poliittisia muistelmia" by Konni Zilliacus is a political memoir written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the struggles for Finnish autonomy and independence in the face of Russian oppression during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting significant events and personal experiences of the author as a political activist. At the start of the memoir, Zilliacus reflects on the political climate of Finland under Russian rule, characterized by rising tensions and the struggle for civil rights. He recounts his experiences while living abroad and his return to Finland as political activities intensify. The opening presents a mix of anxiety over Russian policies and a burgeoning determination among Finns to resist assimilation, culminating in Zilliacus's involvement in efforts to garner international support for Finland’s cause, including a significant mission to present Finnish grievances to the Russian Tsar through a formed delegation. The narrative introduces key themes of resistance, collaboration, and a deep sense of national pride, setting the stage for a detailed recounting of Finland's fight for self-determination.
