An Hour for Hjalmar Linder 13-xi-2019 - Бесплатная аудиокнига

In 1918 Hjalmar Linder was the richest man in Finland, owning much land and many factories. At the end of World War I, as Germany convulsed in defeat and revolution, Civil War broke out in Finland. Linder's brother-in-law General Mannheim advised him to flee to Sweden. When he returned after the conflict, he went looking for his workers in the prison camps. He was shocked by the inhumane conditions they faced, and wrote an article in Hufvudstadsbladet, the main Finnish newspaper in Swedish, with the title "Nog Med Blodbad!" ("No More Bloodbath!"). He said the White Terror must end because prisoners were dying like flies. As a result he was accused of sympathy with Communism, received death threats, and fled abroad. In 1921 Hjalmar Linder committed suicide, penniless in Marseilles, slashing his wrists. This information comes from a footnote to Minna Henriksson's interview with historian Marjo Liukkonen, author of Women Murders in Hennala 1918 (Helsinki: Vastapaino, 2018), Rab-Rab issue 5, p. 106.

This hour is for Hjalmar Linder and all opponents of fascism and inhumanity, regardless of class, and was played by AMM All-Stars: Paul Shearsmith - trumpet, Jew's harp, squeakers, Baliphone; Eleanor Crook - acoustic f-hole guitar with direct input pickup; David Black - electric guitar; Graham Davis - synth; Out To Lunch - readings, mouthnoise, piano, Splash'n'Klang; Peter Baxter - tabletop percussion.
