 Abstract. The article briefly examines the strokes of the biography of Lauri Letonmäki, a prominent figure in the social democratic movement in Finland, who emigrated along with other "Red Finns" to Soviet Russia after the defeat of the left in the Civil War of 1918. Particular attention is paid to the little-known side of his activities – writing the first in the USSR generalizing works on the history of Karelia and Finland. The question is raised about the need for a comprehensive study of the historiographic heritage of L. Letonmäki.
Keywords: Red Finns, Lauri Letonmäki, biography, Soviet historiography of the history of Finland, Soviet Karelia.
