Kullervo is a character from the epic of Kalevala Tragic Hero type of thing.
The photo is a three countries border , Finland, Sweden and Norway. And its takes when last Germany soldiers was left Finland and Lapland war is ending.
Jaeger is originally german word for hunter, but in napoleonic wars prussian hunters formed light infantry unit named as "hunters" (jaeger). In time of ww1 finnish volunteers went to Germany to get military training and they were trained as light infantry (jaegers) those volunteers came back to Finland in 1918 to help Finland to get rid of russian forces that were still on Finland soil because of chaotic situation in Russian empire (revolution 1917). This song is composed by Jean Sibelius and lyrics was written by voluntary jaeger himself Heikki Nurmio at the time 1917-1918.
This was made in 1917 when Finland was getting independent from the Russian Empire. The first public performance was in January 1918, the same day when the Finnish Civil War began. Nowadays it is used as a honorary march of many army detachments and it's played in the beginning of the Independece Day Reception when the war veterans enter the Presidential Palace.
Jäeger is german word for hunter. finnish troop adopted it for infantry
If you like patriotic songs, I recommend "Porilaisten marssi". It's also the unofficial song of Finnish President, and is frequently played in military parades - always as an instrumental piece.
Skis indeed played a huge part in winter war and gave big advantage to outnumbered Finnish soldiers cause they were so much faster than Russians whitout skis. You feel like a friend too and make great reactions!

Here's some background info on them and some footage also: "The Finnish Jägers In World War 1 I THE GREAT WAR On The Road", "Jääkärit väreissä, Lockstedt 1916" and "Finnentag 2015 in Hohenlockstedt". The photo in the video was taken on Finland's, Sweden's and Norway's border in the north on April 27th in 1945 when the WW2 ended on Finland's part. Here's one of Wilhelm II's favorite marches. It was first played in 1837 when the Finnish Guards' Rifle Battalion was practicing with the Russian Imperial Guard in St. Petersburg. Nicholas I gifted the march to Frederick William III of Prussia. The march was included in the official list of marches of the Prussian Army with the name "Marsch aus Petersburg: "Petersburger Marsch [German march]". This one is from the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), to which Finnish Guards took part: "Kauan on Kärsitty - Finnish Guard Marching Song (Lyrics)". This one (Trad.) is from the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). 'Marsch der Finnländischen Reiterei' in German: "Hakkapeliittain Marssi with English Lyrics". And about the relating Jaeger history behind it: "HAKKA PÄLLE! Gustavian Cavalry | The Army of Gustavus Adolphus". About the Finnish horse: "The Versatile Horse". On the subject of regions and tribes of Finland: "Bjarmien Maa: Historia Suomi ", "Ancient TRIBES of Finland", "A short history of Ingria/Ingermanland" and "Finland's WW2 Aims: Creating Greater Finland?". Kullervo is a character in Finland's national epic Kalevala: "Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot-The epic poem of Finland (12 things you should know)" and "Kalevala - the story of Kullervo". Tolkien was inspired by the story and wrote his version of it: "From Kalevala to Middle-Earth: Tolkien's love for Finland's MYTHS!". Recent refer to Kalevala: "Mando & Grogu visit Bo-Katan at Kalevala - The Mandalorian Season Three (2023) ". On some other Finnish connections in Star Wars: "Exploring all the Finnish connections in Star Wars" and"Joonas Suotamo talks about playing Chewbacca".

This picture is a moment when WW2 is over in Finland. This is three countries common point in Lappland (North, Finland, Sweden and Norwey). Germans soldiers is going away. Russian invasion to Finland is blocked.
You must read the Kalevala Finnish National book becuse Kullervo is there. The picture is in Kilpisjärvi in Lappland. Sibelius is best and you have to heard Finlandia!
I recently learned Dvina is part of Karelia
Your pronunciation of "Jääkärimarssi" was spot on. 9.5/10.
Viena (Dvina) is the area at the shores of White Sea. That area is now in Russia for the time being.
The song is a poem by a Finnish Jaeger in the Royal Prussian Jaegerbattalion 27 during ww1. The Jaegers went to Germany to get military training to possible break Finland from Russia even by arms. Hence why such war depicting wording and theme that there is not yet a homeland. Eventually they would land in Finland in force during the civil war in 1918.
Funnily enough, we have translated and use Bella Ciao as a patriotic song as well
yeah there is A LOT OF HISTORY in there.
Hello Mauro! You come from Italy, the motherland of Music, don't you? How come you don't know about Jean Sibelius, our national composer of international fame?
