The Red's Tombstone

The Red's Tombstone stands in a section of Kalevankangas Cemetery, marking the graves of 2,700 individuals who lost their lives during the Finnish Civil War.

The memorial site became the location of mass graves following the Battle of Tampere in 1918, where numerous casualties occurred during the conflict between Red and White forces.

The gravestone serves as a central gathering point for commemorative events and represents a period of significant social transformation in Finnish society.

The memorial can be reached through the main entrance of Kalevankangas Cemetery, with dedicated pathways leading visitors to the commemorative area.

The tombstone bears visible marks from the civil war period, including bullet holes that remain as physical evidence of the battles fought at this location.
