Quotes
[edit]- Eikö olisi oikeaa tuomiotaktiikkaa ottaa joku prosentti vihollisen toisestakin sukupuolesta – siten siveellisesti varoittaakseen niiden kurjia ammattisisaria. Sudenjahdissa kelpaa maalitauluksi juuri naarassusi ehkä enemmän kuin uros, sillä metsästäjä tietää, että naarassusi synnyttää pahoja penikoita, joista on oleva ikuinen vastus. Todistettu on, että Suomen kansalaissodassa punakaartilaiset ovat petoja, monet heidän naisistaan – susinarttuja, vieläpä naarastiikereitä. Eikö ole hulluutta olla ampumatta petoja, jotka meitä ahdistavat.

Wouldn’t it be the right judgment tactics to take a percentage of the enemy’s other gender – to warn their wretched professional sisters in their virtue? When hunting wolves, the bitch may be an even better target than the dog, because the hunter knows that it’s the female who gives birth to the nasty pups that will forever be trouble. It has been proved that in the Finnish civil war the Reds were beasts; many of their women, bitches – tigresses, even. Isn’t it craziness not to shoot the beasts who pursue us?- Ilmari Kianto in: Keskisuomalainen, April 12, 1918: Cited and translated in: Mari Hatavara, "Layering the Past, Framing History: Leena Lander's Historical Novel Kasky (2003) on the Finnish Civil War." SCANDINAVICA 53.2 (2014): 6-28.

- Are they human beings? Ask from those who have flown through the fires of hell if the red-Russkies are humans! Our boys outright deny it!
