In 1919, Finland became the third country in the world to enact national prohibition, banning all alcoholic beverages. The experiment, which lasted until 1932, was driven by a powerful temperance movement rooted in the Fennoman awakening and the belief that alcohol was a tool of Russian oppression. Lucas and Luna explore how prohibition reshaped Finnish society—from the rise of illegal distilleries in the countryside to the smuggling networks that brought spirits from Estonia and Germany. They discuss the role of the state alcohol monopoly Alko, the black market's 'pontikka' moonshine, and the violent turf wars between bootleggers in Helsinki's Katajanokka district. The episode also covers the 1932 repeal referendum, which saw 70% of Finns vote to end prohibition, and the lasting impact on Finnish drinking culture, including the modern-day 'Alko queue' phenomenon. Along the way, they touch on key figures like Prime Minister A.K. Cajander and the paradoxical role of Marshal Mannerheim, who opposed prohibition but enforced it as regent. This is a story of idealism clashing with reality, and a nation's struggle to find its own path between individual freedom and collective good. #Finland #Prohibition #Kieltolaki #Alko #Pontikka #TemperanceMovement #Smuggling #Bootlegging #Cajander #Mannerheim #History #FexingoHistory #1920s #1930s #Helsinki #NordicHistory #Sober #Moonshine Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
