    There was a recent Finnish movie called Sisu about the Nazi occupation of Finland during WW2. It was an amazing example of whitewashing propaganda that the Finnish position was neutrality/independence and that the Finns hated both Soviets and Nazis. The basic story follows a Finnish character in Lapland who's being chased by Nazi soldiers who want to steal his gold. It's mentioned in passing that he is a loose cannon solo soldier with dozens of confirmed kills of Russians, and so the Nazis better run if they're smart.

    Maybe ironically the story is ripped from the Russian character Koschei the Immortal (Кощей Бессмертный).

    Sisu, by the way, is a Finnish word that refers to the fighting spirit, grit and perseverance of Finns during the winter war.
