Det Vita Finland
Swedish-language anti-communist newspaper in White Finland
Det Vita Finland was a political newspaper published by the Whites during the Finnish Civil War. It served as the Swedish- language parallel to the Valkoinen Suomi newspaper and was published in the city of Vaasa in Pohjanmaa. The Newspaper was to be published every day at 8 am, except Monday. The editors of the newspaper were Richard Malmberg, Johannes Näse and A. J. Dahl.
The newspaper served as a method of publishing the official position on stances of the Vaasa Senate and Mannerheim, along with publishing patriotic texts, news stories about the events in the Civil War and international relations relating to Finland. Eventually the Newspaper was limited and eventually ceased to publish in April, following its limitation by the armed forces and senate.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
