简介：Väinö Linna wrote two massive works in which Finland is still found today: Only the continuation war epic Tuntematon sotilas (1954), whose film adaptation by Edvin Laine (1955) now as part of the public television Independence Day program as the live broadcast of the Reception at the president; then the trilogy Täällä Pohjantähden alla (1959, 1960, 1962), in which the history of the country from the late 19th to the middle of the 20th century is described by the peasant family Koskela. This material was also used by Laine. Täällä Pohjantähden alla condenses the first two volumes to just under three hours, with the civil war as a dramatic climax - mass scenes, political confrontations, rituals of life and death. The film as well as its sequel Akseli ja Elina (1970) were a welcome guest at the Moscow Film Festival, where they loved multi-hour students on big issues with a socialist-friendly, but basically generally solid humanistic attitude in those years
