*
Date: July 30, 1989*
*
Battle Location: Pirttiniemi, Sweden*
*
Battle Type: Russia advance vs Sweden delay*
*
Description: Through a coup, hard-line communists size power in Moscow but the dethroned former Soviet leader successfully escapes to neighbouring Finland and from there challenges the coup-makers bid for power.*
*
The new Soviet leaders place demands on the Finns that can not be met. The result is war, with a minimum of preparation Soviet units cross the border into Finland*
*
Most of northern Finland has been overrun by Soviet forces, while the invasion has not been equally successful in the southern parts and now Sweden has become involved in the war on the Finnish side. Soviet bridgeheads have been established in northern Sweden and reserves have been channelled to the Swedish front in order to thrust deep into northern Sweden to shield against a possible intervention of the NATO troops building up in Norway. At Pirttiniemi village Soviet armoured forces try to expand the area under Soviet control.*
