Olli Tiainen (Swedish: Olof Hemmingsson)[1] (1770 – 1833), was a Finnish peasant chieftain. During the Finnish War, he successfully lead a free corps of Finnish peasants in several clashes with the Russians, with his most notable action being securing the rear of Johan August Sandels during his defence of Savo, and delaying a Russian advance towards Pielinen.[2][3]
Early life edit
Olli Tiainen, was born on 2 June 1770 to the peasants Hemming Antinpoika Tiainen and Anna Niilontytär Leveinen[1][4] in the village of Tiilikka in modern day Rautavaara.[4] The rest of his early life is mostly unknown.
Service edit
It is known that Tiainen participated in the Russo-Swedish War (1788–1790) as a border guard in a peasant troop, the peacetime soldier job did not suit him, which is why he returned as a civilian after the war and became a tailor.[5]
