Abstract
To gain a better understanding of the Veterans’ League, a comparative perspective is useful. The League can most profitably be compared and contrasted with parallel radical right-wing movements in Estonia’s two closest neighbors, the Pe?rkonkrusts in Latvia, and the Lapua movement and the Isanmaallinen kansanliike (Patriotic People’s Movement, hereafter referred to as the IKL) in Finland. This is particularly appropriate since they influenced each other and there was significant interaction between them.
