“…For a short period, avenging the Winter War and the emergence of Finnish–German Waffenbrüderschaft did reinvigorate the radically Russophobic nationalism of previous decades and charged it with greater prominence than was justified by its actual political support among the population (e.g. Tilli, 2012). More sustainably, under the existential threat to the nation, the inclusive idea of societal consensus that had emerged already at the end of the 1930s and emphasised social and egalitarian dimensions of nationhood became a cornerstone of Finnish self‐understanding, which would then carry over into the post‐war era (Kettunen, 2018: 273–275, 283–285; Kivimäki & Tepora, 2012: 248–253).…”

This reflects the consequences of Finland's defeat in 1944.…”

Our article discusses the adaptability of the concept of national indifference to the context of post‐war Finnish society and everyday nationalism. This period witnessed a transformation of previously exclusive and aggressive nationalism into a tempered and relatively inclusive version. Within this historical context, national indifference became an entangled category that could not be clearly attributed to a specific group of people but which carried with it a gradual change in subjective attitudes and consciousness. The case of post‐war Finland demonstrates that just as nationalism changed its shape over time, becoming subtly embedded in everyday life, so too did national indifference. The article thus argues that an increase in the level of national indifference could actually make space for national integration and, furthermore, that any given expressions of nationalism, as well as the lack of them, must be studied against the background of people's experiences, which lend historically conditioned meaning to national sentiment and indifference alike.

“…Jouni Tilli has also concluded that after the armistice the Lutheran clergy used the rhetoric of responsibility and obedience in order to help people adapt to the new political situation. 139 However, in private counselling, clients were treated with more understanding and compassion. Although counsellors sometimes challenged clients' views, the wellbeing of clients was valued.…”

When former military chaplains began to give marital guidance to troubled couples after the end of hostilities with the Soviet Union (1941)(1942)(1943)(1944) in Finland, new information about the causes and experiences of marital problems and divorces emerged during guidance sessions. Even lengthy marriages were seen to be burdened due to the stress of reunion and men's wartime infidelity, increased inclination to drinking and aggressive behaviour. The article discusses the meaning and construction of marital expectations with respect to the development of post-war marital dissolution, and argues that wives in particular tried to adjust their marital expectations in accordance with the general developments in personal life and society. Especially in the case of older marriages, for the majority of women, divorce was seen more as means of personal survival than of seeking happiness, even in the urban areas. Although contemporaries feared that the marital institution was disintegrating, the majority of wives were willing to work to save, or endure, even troubled marriages.
