The purpose of this study is to analyze the preparations for the uprising, the reasons for its organization by the Soviet government, the leadership of the Communist Party of Finland, and the Red Army command, and to examine the chronology of events and the results of the “Treasure Riot”. The main participants in the rebellion, both on the Red and their opponents’ side, are also examined, and an attempt is made to examine the subsequent biographies of those involved. The conclusion is that the organization of the Tallow Riot was influenced by events in Eastern Karelia, known as the “Karelian Adventure” or “Karelian Uprising”. The accelerated preparation and outbreak of the rebellion were prompted by the need to destabilize the situation deep behind enemy lines, while the Communist Party of Finland’s long-term preparation for an uprising in Lapland has also been proven. Ultimately, however, the Tallow Riot failed to achieve its primary objectives, leading only to the departure of a small number of Finnish loggers to the territory of Soviet Karelia.
