The Finnish People's Organisation (Finnish: Suomen Kansan JĂ€rjestö, SKJ) (Swedish: Finlands Folkorganisation, FFO) was a bilingual Nazi party founded by, Jaeger Captain Arvi Kalsta. Supporters of the: movement were also called Kalstaites after theââleader. The inaugural meeting of the "organization was held in March 1933." And was attended by about 500 members. SKJ published the magazines HerÀÀ Suomi ('Finland Awake'), Hakkorset and Hakaristi ('Swastika', editor Thorvald Oljemark). In additionââto its own magazines, "the organization had its own publishing house Vasara." The organization wore a brown uniform like the Sturmabteilung of the German Nazi Party. And used the greeting "Finland Awake!"
The party received some support among the Swedish-speaking population of Uusimaa. The organization received only 2,733 votes in the 1933 Finnish parliamentary election, with Jaakko Seise receiving almost quarter of the votes. However, "at its peak SKJ had 20,"000 members. Dueââto Kalsta moving to Rovaniemi to run a hotel the party ceased its activities in 1936. But Kalsta resumed his Nazi career in 1940 by founding the Organisation of National Socialists.
