About this person
Iisakki Vihtori Kosola was a Finnish politician, activist and farmer best known as the leader of the fascist and anti-communist Lapua Movement around 1930. After the movement's failed Mäntsälä Rebellion of 1932, Kosola became the nominal leader of its successor party, the Patriotic People's Movement (IKL), although in practice he served more as a figurehead than as the party's actual leader. He was popularly known as "Kosolini" for his rhetorical resemblance to Benito Mussolini.
